After weaving your way through the myriad of COVID questions, such as"Have you been exposed to COVID in the last 14 days?" (Like I'm really going to say yes.) You finally reach the gangway and are on board the Explorer. Finally, you see the incredible artwork, the beautiful common areas and with the welcome aboard glass of champagne in your hand, there is only one question you want to ask: "Which ...
Having had a land trip around S America cancelled, together with friends, we decided to push the boat out, excuse the pun, and treat ourselves to an ultra luxury cruise for once. We have cruised with the more mainstream lines, P&O, Cunard, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity on numerous occasions. We booked at a great price in August 21 for a deluxe veranda suite in no small part due to the vision we ...
Overall, I (solo traveler) had a nice time. However, midway through the cruise I went to the Observation Lounge for a drink after dinner. The server came over to take my order, but then reminded me of the dress code (see below). I was extremely confused as I was wearing a white blouse, black skirt, and heels. I asked him to clarify, but he just repeated himself. After bringing me my drink, I felt ...
Regent Explorer 19th January 2022 San Diego to Miami via Panama.
Review
In many ways it’s difficult to criticise this cruise /ship. The (superior) cabin was a good size, excellent with lots of storage, and bathroom excellent. The food was very good particularly the steaks which were the best we have had anywhere. Nothing was too much trouble. Staff were good, particularly the female drinks ...
Context: This was our first cruise with Regent and, thus, first time on Explorer. We did a Holiday cruise, two weeks spanning Christmas and New Year’s, doing a circular itinerary around the southern and then eastern Caribbean. As context for this review, we had cruised pre-pandemic with mainstream lines including Princess (Elite level), Celebrity, and MSC, generally in suites in later years. ...
We don't like Nov so we get away to the south where the sun shines at least a bit most days.
We were on the Explorer for 24 days and at the Biltmore for another. ( They don't count this day as a cruise day).
The included pre-cruise stay at the Biltmore was fine. The hotel is far from downtown but the public spaces at least are spectacular. There are wonderful old large Florida houses in the ...
The executive summary: We had a great time on the Explorer and found the crew and ship to be exceptional. While there were things that could have been done better, overall, the entire cruise was excellent.
We were excited to get on board this 24 day cruise after so long off the sea. We are in our 50's and recently retired providing us the ability to take longer journeys. We were first time ...
Because we were on the Mariner and loved it.
The explorer is absolutely beautiful and our cruise was just magic.
Everything is perfect : the crew, the boat, the ambiance and the food.
We are very very pleased and we have booked for next year on the same boat boat .
Nothing to complain of.
We were before cruising with Silver Sea and have been so disappointed when it was sold to ...
We chose this cruise for a late-Winter getaway to the Western Caribbean as a great way to evaluate the all-inclusive nature of Regent. We were not disappointed at all. The accommodations are very nice (especially after getting bumped up two levels), the food is very good, and the crew is exemplary! The Coronavirus was just getting a foothold in the USA and Regent was surprisingly well prepared. ...
We read , and foolishly believed the slogan” the most luxurious ship in the world, so promptly booked a Miami round trip, visiting Belize and Guatemala.
We flew to Miami, staying in the superb Biltmore hotel prior to our cruise.
Embarkation was a quick process, and we were welcomed onboard by smiling staff proffering small glasses of champagne. As it was lunchtime, we decided quickly to ...
