Regent Seven Seas Cruises sets the standard in all-inclusive luxury cruising! I can't say enough about how exquisite everything was -- the ship, food, staff, and state room.

We booked the 10-night "Scenic Havens" cruise aboard SS Mariner, which sailed the Mediterranean from Barcelona to Rome, with stops in Mallorca, Spain; Port Vendre, Marseilles, St. Tropez, France; Monaco; and Portofino, Florence (Livorno), the Amalfi Coast, and Capri. The nice part about booking on this particular ship is that every stateroom is a balcony room, and for this particular cruise, we were fortunate enough to be on the Port side, giving us almost all of the views as we sailed.

From the moment we embarked, we were treated like royalty. The staff was extremely accommodating, friendly, and referred to us by name. They went out of their way to make sure all our needs were met and that everything was beyond expectation. Regent takes all-inclusive to a whole new level. Whereas some all-inclusive packages include mid- level wines and liquor with mediocre food, Regent provides top-shelf options across the board. The wine selection was incredible and the liquor options were all top shelf. The restaurants onboard, be it the specialty restaurants or the Compass Rose dining room, were all 5-star quality. Every meal could only be described as exquisite culinary experiences since the menus changed every day. Even the Burger Bar for lunch took casual dining to a whole new level, with choices like ahi tuna burgers and Asian salmon burgers. We ordered room service on the mornings with early excursions and, although the breakfast was very good, they sometimes forgot to bring some items. We never experienced a misstep in the restaurants, but we'd recommend checking your room service order carefully before the steward leaves. Read more
