We had picked this cruise for the itinerary, but were a little wary about Regent after having made an itinerary choice on another NCL line (Oceania) last year and been badly let down. I was concerned that Regent would be an "all inclusive" version of Oceania, but I was very happily completely wrong. Aside from the quirks dealing with 'Miami" beforehand (I suspect that all NCL brand passengers ...
Debated whether it was a 4* or a 5. Lets say 4.5 and round it up. Itinerary was Tokyo to Tokyo with stops in Japan, Korea and China.
Pre Cruise (included) - We did our own air and transfers. Added 2 days on our own to the hotel @ $450 a night. The pre cruise tours were organized by Destinations Asia and had an American in the front doing all the managing and announcements. Worked well ...
My wife and I are relatively new to cruising having taken just two cruises before this one. This was our first time on a premium line like Regent. We had a blast!
First, the ship. It is only a few months old and it is simply magnificent. Every detail was well thought out and well executed. The focal point of the ship is the cental atrium which is an elegant multi-story space where all the ...
Getting on in years and wanted to try what some considered the best in cruising. So we booked a Grand Suite on the new Regent Grandeur. We are the type of cruiser that no longer bothers getting off any ship. And as Will Rogers said "The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for." Well get use to standing in line on Regent Seven Seas. For those willing to splurge $30,000 for a ...
Overall it was a good cruise . We really liked some things like our cabin. Disliked other things like the lunch buffet at La Veranda . And thought some items were so-so. Like the excursions. I will say the staff and management were excellent. You book this class of ship because you want a smaller ship experience. ie no waiting in lines or fighting for pool chairs . Since the pandemic I have ...
My husband wanted a find a cruise in January, and this was among the few available on such a short period. Grandeur is a new ship, only four months in service, and it is all glitz and bling.
All rooms are suites, and our room was spacious, had a walk in closet, and good separation from the sitting and sleeping area. I love having a bathtub on a cruise, and the one in our bathroom ( with a ...
Regent really delivers luxury and at a high level. Naturally, there are occasional blips but this inevitable and does not take any from the overall experience.
The service culture is evident. Management is visible and engaged in daily operations. I had not observed this on other cruise lines. The service staff is well trained, some are working on their english but all are clearly guest ...
Wonderful ship, very beautiful and luxurious. Great multi national smiling and efficient crew. Food and wines and entertainment all excellent. Our itinerary was good and the excursions also well,organised and enjoyable. Our issues are with the beginning and end of the cruise. The night before we were taken to Sam Lord’s castle on the east coast of Barbados. It’s the windy side if the island, ...
Loved seeing antarctica. we booked as former fans of regent after 5 previous trips. The voyager is a nice boat with fun circular pool bar where we have enjoyed meeting many friends on past trips. however, the boat is looking somewhat shabby and needs a rehab to put it back to 5 star status. while the staff people are great, they seemed stressed/training mode now, from what we observed (lack of ...
We have always cruised the larger lines, Disney, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity. The Grandeur was our first premium luxury, smaller ship cruise and since the ship is new, this was only the 10th voyage it has made. It is more expensive, but the experience is worth it.
If you sign up for the hotel the night before, they put you in Trump Doral, west of Miami Airport. I think that is a huge mistake ...
