Regent Seven Seas Mariner Cruise Reviews for Luxury to the Mediterranean from Istanbul

This was only our second cruise. Our first was with P&O and although this cruise was far more expensive, as they say, you get what you pay for. What was really impressive was the way embarkation, tours and disembarkation was managed, it was all very well organised. All the staff, without exception, were friendly and couldn't do enough to help. Being "all inclusive" it was really nice to ...

We are long time Regent fans and it has been sad to see them losing so many of the qualities that made Regent so unique. On this summer trip from Istanbul to Athens, for reasons beyond their control, they had to change 4 days on a 10 day trip. Prior to departure several guests tried to cancel and get a refund because they had chosen the trip to go to Israel. Regent refused to refund their money ...

Together with my wife, I purchased an upmarket Seven Seas Aft Suite on Regent Seven Seas Mariner. In summary: 1. With one exception, the crew were wonderful. 2. Compared to our experience on Princess and Viking vessels, the food was average and in particular, the salads were poor. 3.

So we boarded in ...

Background Information We previously reviewed our first cruise which was on-board RSSC's Mariner in the Mediterranean in May 2011 and this is really by way of a comparison and update. Travel to RSS Mariner Again we made our own travel arrangements, not only because this was more economical than using Regent's included flights but to avoid the worry involved in flying out on the morning of ...

Having seen the reviews, read the brochures and travelled A LOT, my husband and I expected a little more from this cruise. It reminded us of Holland America--a lot of hype and some substance to back it up, but not all that it was supposed to be. Pros: *ports of call--Ephesus with an expert excursion--worth every penny--one of the most memorable places I will ever visit (my only remaining ...

My husband and I greatly enjoyed our May 4 - 14 Istanbul to Venice cruise on the Mariner. As background: We are a couple in our mid 40s. We have traveled extensively, but this was only our 4th cruise, and our first on Regent. The cruise was chosen for the timing, length, and itinerary. Our thoughts: EMBARKATION / DEBARKATION: We arranged our own air and transfers. After a few days of ...
