The Grandeur was our first experience sailing on a Regent ship. When deciding upon the cruise line for our long-awaited transit of the Panama Canal, we selected Regent because had heard good things and we thought it would be fun to try a brand new ship. We were disappointed. The ship itself is a marvel, better than other luxury lines we have sailed. The public spaces are large and inviting. The ...
We have long wanted to transit the Panama Canal and the start of Regent's latest grand dame's career was the ideal opportunity. We left a wet and cold UK to find much the same in LA. We were on Splendour in July so the beauty of the ship was not a huge surprise. But Regent have managed to raise the bar again & not just with the beautiful Faberge egg on display.
Disappointments - Acapulco hadn't ...
Cruise fell so far below expectations, frequent cruisers, sailed with Regent several times and normally fabulous but Ship is tired, rooms far from luxurious. Problems from start, transfers from hotel and embarkation absolutely chaotic. We both became unwell by end of first week this was before ship officially announced that they had a serious problem, they said only a few people sick but levels ...
Our flights, pre/post cruise hotels and transfers were all arranged by Regent. On arrival we were informed that we would be notified about embarkation details - but we weren't. On the morning of embarkation, several hundred guests along with several hundred suitcases were all seen milling around awaiting 5 coaches to take us to Seven Seas Voyager. Two of our party of 4 had mobility problems and ...
Just off Navigator last week. We are moderately experienced cruisers (~24 total), though this is our first Regent since the old Radisson Diamond in 1997.
We enjoyed the cruise, especially the excellent service and staff, both in the cabins and in the dining venues. There are always some glitchy times in dining, and this was no exception, as Christmas Day simply overwhelmed the ship's ability to ...
We chose Regent for my husband's 70th birthday celebration. We spent a lot of money on this, but having sailed with Regent years ago (pre-NCL) we believed that we would get the ultra-luxurious experience we were paying for. We did not. There is little point in repeating everything related by previous reviewers - we completely agree that the ship is too old, noisy and cramped to be described as ...
We chose this cruise for several reasons. The Panama Canal crossing was of interest as was the embarkation city of Miami. Embarkation was seamless and disembarkation was also complaint free. By the time the cruise started we lost 4 ports and ended up with an extra night in Los Angeles and a trip to Puerto Vallarta. Not happy with the last minute changes that were attributed to "green energy" ...
The ship, the staff, the weather, the suite, the cuisine were all exceptional. We've cruised with Regent Seven Seas several times previously and this cruise was among the very best. Our cabin staff could not have been more attentive and helpful. The suite was fine, other than being right under the pool bar. Around 0700 each day, it sounded as though we were under a bowling alley as the deck ...
This review focuses on what the cruise line has under its control, that is the “hotel” and restaurant.
As an introduction, we have sailed with Regent before as well as other luxury branded lines such as Seaborne, Silversea, Ritz Carlton
Regent really knows their audience, elderly Americans, and to be fair they do serve this target audience very well. This does however have an impact on those ...
We wanted to try RSS's newest ship, even when the itinerary in the Caribbean did not excite us much. The ship is indeed beautiful, with an impressive art collection. Embarkation and disembarkation processes were quite smooth, particularly the latter (the best one I ever had). Service was quite good in line with other luxury lines. Most of the staff was friendly and attentive despite being an ...
