We wanted a luxury cruise on a smaller ship with excellent service and good food. We had only cruised on Oceania before and thought that this line would be comparable. We were sorely mistaken. Arranging air travel was difficult. Their agents wanted to do nothing about changing seats or upgrading. The ship was tired and dated. The furniture in the cabin was stained and scuffed. The ship is going ...
My husband and I chose this cruise line because we have sailed with them before. We do not like the big ships that have so many people on it that it is overwhelming. Regent has small ships that hold 600 people and that is more then enough. So this would make you think that you are getting really individual attention. We found that on this trip the staff would be very good at serving you some days ...
The Ship: The hull started life as a Russian satellite tracking ship. It's beginning to show its former self. There was a lot of rust and despite a refit a few years ago, it's looking old. A metal flashing came off a stair when I walked up an exterior stair. I moved it out of the way so no-one would trip over it and reported it to the crew. It was still there at the end of the cruise.
The ...
Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent cruise aboard Seven Seas Navigator. While we are disappointed to hear this cruise did not meet your expectations, we appreciate you taking...
Overall, the trip was great. Negatives are few, but pretty major. Steak House was having major inconsistency issues. We went there twice. Both our visits had the same issues. Steak house was very disappointing. Food either over cooked or very under cooked. Just not all that good when it came to even the soups, salads and desserts. Service poor. The kind of restaurant you would never go back to. ...
We went to join our friends from Brussels.
The Regent Explorer was built in 2016. Hard to believe. Feels like an old ship that has been redecorated. If you are on Deck 5 aft, the elevator bank almost butts right up to the stairwell. Wonder who passed that inspection.
We were not made aware of our cabin number until two days before embarkation.
For good reason. We paid $11,000 for ...
Points to consider………………..
We are long time main stream cruisers having sailed on a number of different lines including Sliver Sea with a few preferences. This was our 1st Regent Cruise and we cancelled a back to back booking on Celebrity based on the desire and a promotion to try their “most luxurious cruise ship “ That said, expectations were very high. Embarkation was delayed for security ...
Billed as the most luxurious ship ever built, the Explorer lives up to this accolade. The incredible artwork and Murano glass in the public areas lend an air of decadence to the space. Speaking of space, this ship has it in abundance!
In concierge suite 644, we loved the extra room on the side of the bed which was positioned to give a view out of the windows, a genius decision. Storage space ...
We hav been on Regent Cruises before but they have definitely gone down hill. We chose the Amazon adventure 25 night cruise. Regent advertises all inclusive shore excursions and premium drinks. We booed shore excursions weeks in advance. It took several visits to their website and several phone calls as not all locations were available for booking. We finally had all excursions booked. They ...
My wife and I traveled on Regent Mariner for the first time on this cruise line. Even though the ship shows some signs of wear, the crew could not have been more friendly and accommodating. We loved everything about the voyage. The ten sea days were filled with activities, especially an excellent lecturer. We enjoyed playing ACBL sanctioned duplicate bridge on the sea days. We danced every evening ...
We liked the itinerary and the cruise line. Regent is expensive, but you don't get nickeled and dimed on board. The size (small) of the ship also made it attractive.
My mjain complaint was the lack of activities and the lack of variation in the activities. Since my wife and I like "brain" games - trivia of various sorts, this cruise was lacking.
I also would have liked a bit more variety in ...
