Choose to go on a short cruise to test Regent because we booked a 4 week cruise in Jan 2018. As a result of this 7 day experience, we are cancelling the LA to NZ cruise. The ship was poorly maintained, the cabin was worse. We had mold in the door to the veranda, lights that did not work, carpet that did not adhere to the door frame, the door frame was so beat up that the door to the veranda was very difficult to open, caulking around the shower was missing and the toilet emitted an unusual odor. The TV picture was so bad that one could not even read the credits and watching sports was out of the question. The railing the aft elevator was broken the entire cruise.

The crew was as tired as the ship...not friendly and only our butler called by name...other than that we were never called by our name the entire cruise. One night for dinner we were seated in an aisle...yes an aisle. Speciality restaurants...only got to eat in Prime one time.

Hard to get information for getting on and off the ship because we were independent travelers. The gift shop selection was very weak...lack of sizes and selection. There is more but I am sure you have the idea.....our 31st cruise and it was on Regent...our first time and our last. So save your money...go on something else. We did tell Regent...what a waste....sorry if you book another cruise with us we will give you $500 cruise credit....What a joke!
