"We chose this Tokyo-to-Tokyo 2-week Regent cruise based on its active itinerary, and friends who invited us to join them during cherry-blossom season.Chaos ensued as we waited hours, and it brought for me an agonizing waste of time and a missed dinner reservation at Nobu Tokyo...."Read More

Cocktail help?!

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

Had a great time on our first regent Cruise. The food and service were both excellent. We did miss not having a buffet available at dinner time. Loved the Meridian Lounge with the many choices of craft cocktails. The excursions were all very good. The only one we paid for was the trip to Hakone NP in Tokyo. Unfortunately, it was the worst weather day we had on the whole trip and we were ...

First and last experience with ’ultra’ luxury line

2-5 Cruises • Age 30s

Overall, while we enjoyed our vacation, the on-board experience of the RSSC explorer failed to live up to the hype of an ‘ultra’ luxury cruise line and we will be unlikely to book again. Dining: Specialty dining was an exception to our general experience, generally being outstanding on this cruise. Service and food quality in these venues was markedly superior to main dining (Compass Rose) and ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

Debated whether it was a 4* or a 5. Lets say 4.5 and round it up. Itinerary was Tokyo to Tokyo with stops in Japan, Korea and China. Pre Cruise (included) - We did our own air and transfers. Added 2 days on our own to the hotel @ $450 a night. The pre cruise tours were organized by Destinations Asia and had an American in the front doing all the managing and announcements. Worked well ...

Great staff, ambiance not good

All staff were very friendly. What is not good? Almost zero outdoor, pool deck activity! Only once every two weeks some food or live music on the pool deck. No music anywhere when the show is on. Some harbors bad stops such as in Java. Excursion some ok, some just hours of bus drives. Worst: Horrible wifi! If you are not retired and need to work some online: Do not use Regent! They advertise ...

First time with Regent. Lovely ship and great cruise from Bali to Sydney. Cyclone went thru Cairns so all excursions cancelled at that port. Downgraded to category 1 so we really had no effects while at sea. Have cruised over a dozen times with others lines, first time with Regent. Nicest and largest room ever, plenty of storage, great room service except when we had to quarantine for 12 ...

Lovely cruise but entertainment was poor

Beautiful ship with lovely staff and excellent food but the entertainment fell short of what we’ve experienced with Regent on past cruises. Constant changes to the entertainment programme. They repeated performances and also made numerous cancellations. This was a 17 day cruise with no deck parties and there appeared to be a lack of direction from the cruise director and his wife. The ...

Great Ship shame about the Excursions

We had previously been on Regent Cruises, the last on the Splendour and splendid it was. Sadly our enthusiasm for Regent was curbed somewhat when full of expectation, we boarded the Explorer touted by Region as the worlds most expensive cruise ship. The checking in was a disaster with guests having to queue for 2-3 hours to get their boarding passes on be allowed onto the cruise. Once on board ...

We were under the impression that Regent was a luxury cruise line and we wanted to try it .Oh what a mistake that was We tried to be positive but found the food very hit or miss throughout the ship,we never truly experienced a really memorable meal The poor service was clearly down to poorly trained and shortage of staff The excursions provided by Regent that we booked on were an absolute ...

Seven Seas Explorer - Very good but not 5 Stars

14 Night Tokyo to Bangkok cruise on Seven Seas Explorer - in F1 Superior Suite single occupancy. First time on Regent and chose this cruise for the port variety. Demographic was as you would expect at this price point - over 65, with a real mixture of nationalities - large group of Australians, some New Zealanders and Canadians, good numbers from the UK and Europe, a few from Asia and the ...

This was our first cruise with Regent and our first cruise on a 'Luxury Cruise Line' prior to this we had done over 400 days of cruising on Princess and other supposedly next level down cruise lines.• Regent is touted as the top of the line in luxury cruising. However, I must say our experience is that they are not. The service levels were very poor compared to other supposedly lower ...
