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 – ...
Beautiful ship with lovely staff and excellent food but the entertainment fell short of what we’ve experienced with Regent on past cruises.
Constant changes to the entertainment programme. They repeated performances and also made numerous cancellations.
This was a 17 day cruise with no deck parties and there appeared to be a lack of direction from the cruise director and his wife. The ...
First time with Regent. Lovely ship and great cruise from Bali to Sydney. Cyclone went thru Cairns so all excursions cancelled at that port. Downgraded to category 1 so we really had no effects while at sea. Have cruised over a dozen times with others lines, first time with Regent. Nicest and largest room ever, plenty of storage, great room service except when we had to quarantine for 12 ...
My Husband and I were very excited to sail on our first Regent Cruise. We had heard a lot about the company from many of our friends. We are seasoned cruisers, mostly in retreat class on Celebrity. We are people who never complain. The glass is half full not half empty, and the upsets on this cruise were so bad that it ruined my trip. The worst thing is friends are asking me how my trip was ...
This was our first cruise on a Regent Seven Seas ship. We've been cruising for over 30 years and have a lot of experience. Overall we enjoyed the experience on the Mariner, but would not likely sail on her again until she's been to dry dock for a refit and some needed repairs. This is an old ship and it's got some mechanical issues that will probably continue to haunt it until it gets dry ...
We chose this cruise because of an ACBL sponsored on-board duplicate bridge tournament and because it stopped at ports I had not been to previously.
This review is of the Regent Seven Seas Mariner in particular, a ship which should have been taken out of service and given a major upgrade. One should have a compelling reason to book on this ship while it is in this condition.
The toilets in ...
Regent has been on our list for a while so this itinerary seemed perfect for us. The first clue it might not be great was the check-in at Barcelona, the guests seemed very old. I'm guessing the average age was in the 80s, or at least that's how it felt. People just weren't that friendly (unlike the staff) and it seemed to be a who has been on the most Regent cruises competition. The ship was ...
We had previously been on Regent Cruises, the last on the Splendour and splendid it was. Sadly our enthusiasm for Regent was curbed somewhat when full of expectation, we boarded the Explorer touted by Region as the worlds most expensive cruise ship. The checking in was a disaster with guests having to queue for 2-3 hours to get their boarding passes on be allowed onto the cruise.
Once on board ...
Given the marketing, the press coverage and the claims of “the world’s most luxurious ship” with a "heritage of perfection”, we were very excited and prepared to have our mind blown on the inaugural cruise of this new vessel. In retrospect, as relatively new to cruising, we should have done more research on Regent and their vibe. Now don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot to like about Grandeur, but ...
