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 ...
This was a 15 day cruise sailing from Cape Town up the West Coast of South Africa to Namibia, back to Cape Town then up the East Cost of South Africa to Mozambique then back to Cape Town. We did the 4 day pre-cruise land program - Winelands and Wildlife, which had us staying in a hotel in downtown Cape Town. That was not a good introduction to Cape Town, South Africa or Regent. The hotel was not ...
We had been on Regent Seven Seas Navigator before and had a great cruise. Everything was perfect, so when this cruise came up from Miami to Miami on Mariner into the Amazon, we booked the trip and looked so much forward to go. But already the first evening there was problems to go into the restaurant. They didn't have enough seat for people and we had to wait, for quite some time. It happened more ...
My wife and I just finished a 25 day cruise to the Amazon River in Brazil on the Regent Seven Seas Mariner. We are in our mid 60s and have cruised over 30 times mostly on Royal Caribbean and Norwegian. This was our first “luxury cruise”. The itinerary was round trip Miami with many stops in the Caribbean and 3 days up the Amazon River to Manaus, Brazil. Everything was included in the fare – ...
