We choose this cruise because of the destination, itinerary and the small size ship.
I will start the positive experience saying that the staff was amazing and so serviceminded. They really made this cruise.
Public areas: Very nice ambience and nicely decorated but a bit dated.
Suit - concierge: Also very nice except for the very dated bathroom. We had a leaking toilet which resulted in ...
This was our first Cruise on RSS, having completed several cruises before on other Cruise lines (on larger 1500-1800 passengers, 4* equivalent ships).
We had high hopes for RSS, having considered Silversea’s and only chosen to book with Regent because of their itinerary for this section of South America we wanted to sail. Covid issues in 2021 then cancelled this cruise and so this was our ...
We chose Regents for our 20th wedding anniversary trip. We heard it was the best.
We had one of their best suited and lost a full nights sleep the first night on board because there were exhaust fumes coming in our room from a faulty system plus the front door didn’t actually close completely and rattled all night, plus, plus, plus. It was a hellish night.
They can and fixed everything ...
Food was good (sometimes great) though the Compass Rose is a bit large so we often ate in the smaller restaurants including the Italian (Seti Mare). You can often do walk-ins at the 'posh' restaurants. If late back from a trip they kept the lunch open after 2pm.
We had 4 days of bad weather, a bit of a downer, which also meant missing a port and having 4 days at sea with little extra ...
We chose this cruise as our traveling companions wanted to experience a total luxury cruise. Unfortunately, our experience was less than total luxury.
Our first disappointment was with the air travel to Barcelona. United canceled one of our flights less than 30 days before departure. Instead of a reasonable layover we now had to wait close to 7 hours before beginning our red eye international ...
This was an opportunity to travel 1000 miles up the Amazon river and visit several Caribbean islands. The experience onboard was nothing short of exceptional. From the inclusive valet laundry service to highly approachable, professional Captain, our every need and care was catered for.
This was our first sailing with Regent and we have now booked 2 further cruises with them, it is fair to ...
Navigator is the oldest and smallest of the RSS fleet. Being so small meant it could sail on the Amazon, although we were stuck on a sandbank for several hours.
On deck there is a very small pool, with no easy access, two jacuzzi and steamroom on 11 floor.. Pool side loungers in the shade were insufficient and the walking running track was limited
The ships facilities are tired, only one ...
I have sailed on 10 plus different lines including Crystal, Azamara, Silver Seas and Seabourn. I really expected Regent to be even better. Instead, it was significantly less good. The service was wanting. Our cabin steward kept failing to stock our refrigerator with requested soft drinks and failed to put the cushions on our deck chairs. At dinner in the main dining room, it sometimes took an ...
We chose this cruise because of the destinations, principally destinations on the west coast of Africa that are otherwise difficult to visit. Most of the passengers appear to be very well travelled, and those to whom we spoke talked of choosing this cruise because of the destinations, including the Cape Verde Islands, Senegal, The Gambia, Côte d’Ivoire, Togo, São Tomé, and ...
We had been attracted to the itinerary of the West Africa coast as this seemed a good opportunity to see less-visited places.
The missed ports were a disappointment, not least because of the flimsy and conflicting excuses and messages offered by ship management. Arguably, had we managed to dock there, these would have been yet another disappointment because almost all of the ship excursions ...
