The lure of sailing on a brand new Regent ship was too strong to resist and we are very glad we succumbed! We booked this cruise way back in August of 2015, in anticipation of our celebrating our 30th anniversary, based on the itinerary in the Western Mediterranean and the appeal of sailing on the Explorer, Regent's new ship. Our only previous cruising experience was 3 years ago when we took an Alaskan cruise on Regent's Navigator. We had a lovely time on that cruise and could only assume that a bigger and newer Regent ship would offer an even better experience.

We arrived in Barcelona 3 nights before the cruise sailed. We booked our own hotel reservation at the Majestic Hotel-a luxury grande dame on the beautiful Passieg de Gracia. Barcelona is definitely worthy of a multi-night visit.

We were not eligible for early boarding or early access to our room, so we did not arrive at the ship until a few hours after regular boarding started. The arrivals building was easy to access and was clean and comfortable for the short time we were in it. After Regent processed us and we went through security, we happily boarded the ship to be greeted with champagne. The reception area was very spacious and beautifully decorated. We were told that our room would be ready by 2, I believe, and it was. Our luggage did not come right away and we actually wound up plucking it from a stockpile of luggage in a service area on our hall. Obviously, we would have preferred that it had been brought to our room earlier, but we didn't mind picking it up so that we could start unpacking.

Beautiful spacious cabin. Blue and white decor. More than enough storage. Comfortable bed with nice linens. Good lighting throughout. Spacious, luxurious marble bathroom. 2 sinks, tub and shower. Walk in wood paneled closet. Good size safe. Sliding door to balcony plus window. Nice balcony furniture. TV hinged to watch from couch or bed. Decent selection of new movies and TV shows to watch on TV.
