We booked this cruise very late due to domestic circumstances and got a good deal as a consequence. The down side however was the available business class flights were limited. Our agent booked our outbound flight to Lima via Miami with a 2 hour 5 mins connection time and we thought this would be OK. Then we discovered that we would have to go through US immigration and possibly even collect our ...
I thoroughly enjoyed my cruise in South America. The food was excellent and there were an abundance of choices on the dining menus. The service was excellent and I ate all meals in the dining room, except two times.
The ship had various special nights in the buffet and there were nice with a great quality selection of seafood. I especially liked the caviar breakfast.
The enrichment ...
Went to join the ship at Lima Peru, taking a taxi to the port, we were told that we would have to wait for 2 hours outside the port area as there was no terminal, so we were at the side of the road in a very unpleasant dock area, we were joined by others who were shocked at our treatment, a disabled lady who couldn't stand got a chair from a good samaritan dock worker.
Eventually after an ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. We had a choice of Regent or their sister line, Oceania for the same itinerary. We decided to give Regent a try and we were very happy we did. We had sailed Oceania before and we found Regent and Oceania comparable in most ways. We also found the cost to be about the same when you add the things that are included on Regent to similar things at extra ...
Hello mjobtx and thank you for your review regarding your time aboard Seven Seas Mariner. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your overall cruise with us. Your feedback is very important to us...
We chose this cruise for two reasons. One- the itinerary, we always wanted to cruise the Chilean fiords and Cape Horn, and two we were willing to pay the premium for Business Class air and fee free excursions and amenities etc. We expected exceptional service and support. The service by staff was very good and many of the excursions were outstanding. But the ship was tired. We had elevator ...
This was our fourth cruise with RSS but our first on Mariner. We got a chance to explore Lima before we embarked, which went very smoothly, once we had lobbied the local DMC company to stick to the stated embarkation times guaranteed by RSS, according to suite status! Disembarking in Buenos Aires was less smooth as a shuttle bus had to be used to transport guests to the terminal from the ship. ...
I choose this ' Last on the Bucket List ' cruise partly to visit the Chilean Fiords, The Falkland Islands (to show the wife where I was in 1982), and also Macchu Picchu a pre cruise option.
Due to the weather, we did not see much of the Fiords or visit The Falklands.
To be honest we would not have taken this cruise after our 1st experienced of Regent on the South African cruise in November ...
The itinerary was boring. There was one lecturer;she was excellent, but she was solo. he food was ok,butt the big problem was that many passengers became ill, including my husband, who happens to be a physician. A trip to the ship's doctor cost $750 for the doctor's services and another $700 for medication which cost 3 times less in the states. My husband contracted the flu although both of us ...
Lima to Buenos Aires. We were expecting a luxury all inclusive cruise, because this is what they advertise. We discovered that with this cruise line all inclusive means that you will get the worst land tours you can imagine, with broken down transport, guides that can't speak English, so in other words on this cruise you do not get what you pay for, the company clearly believes that providing ...
Looking forward to our trip of a lifetime turned into the trip from H___.
After 3 days at sea, we got shut down by a stomach/diarrhea virus for the whole trip. Once we could not serve ourselves due to Code Red, there were not enough people to serve the passengers. Instead of putting individual salt and pepper packages out at a table, we had to sit and wait for servers to salt and pepper our ...
