Lack of the usual regent quality

10+ Cruises • Age 40s

We are a young 40s couple who likes good food and high end service. We aren’t avid cruisers, but we go on at least 1 cruise/yr in addition to private vacations with A&k and Kensington and have been on over 30+ cruises (Disney, regent, NCL, royal carribean, etc etc). On our first regent cruise, we knew we’d be younger than most of the passengers—we sailed in the carribbean on the splendor. We ...

We chose this as our bucket list cruise around the world. First the two items that were positive about this cruise: 1.The cabin stewards and the personnel in the Horizon Cafe were terrific when it came to service 2.The Horizon Cafe Buffet had a great selection of food which was well prepared and had a tremendous variety. Unfortunately those are the only god things I can report about this ...

World Cruise - not a true World Cruise - Do Not Waste your money or time

A World Cruise (WC) was on my bucket list and Princess is our preferred Cruise Line (4 of us). This was NOT a cruise I would repeat nor recommend. The Island Princess is old and needs A LOT of repairs - rust, mildew, mold, water leaks, cabin entry doors not opening and more. All major safety issues - I worked in Transportation Safety for over 20 years and Island is NOT a safe ship unless it has ...

I chose this cruise for the itinerary. The experience was 0 stars. 1. Free WIFI was mostly no WIFI, when it was available it was agonizingly slow and kept disconnecting, allowed one device per cabin. IT was totally not interested in solving connection issues. Movies were not updated for 6 months. 2. Brown congealed lettuce was served in the salad bars, hot food not hot, cold food not ...

Initially, we chose this 74-day cruise based solely on the “Grand Voyage” itinerary. The ports-of-call for the cruise, most of the excursions we took, and the passengers & locals we met were great fun & exciting. However, Holland America’s cruise ship (the Volendam) was awful - and based on that we would never want to cruise w/ Holland America again or recommend the cruise line to anyone. We ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

This was not what we expected at all, and to say a disappointment, doesn't even come close. I think we worked out that 9 trips were cancelled, and with the exception of a couple, the others we did do all had some issues/problems. I believe 8 of the ports we stopped at were on a Sunday - this meant that most things were closed. Many of the ports were commercial, so lots of loud container ...

Silverseas is the devil. Poor poor antarctica. silverseas is absolutely trashing it. Poor terrified penguins. I am absolutely traumatized by what I witnessed on the "expedition " Silverseas provided embarking information a few days before the trip. 2pm would be the first embankment continuing till 5 pm. All incorrect information. Flight from santiago- porto williams. First ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

Our cruise of a lifetime to antarctica was a total waste of time and money. Hal couldn't have screwed up more if it really tried. i'll share just the highlights! our embarkation was a seven hour (two on a bus and five in the terminal) fiasco with ~ 5,000 people crammed into one room with five ships in port and then hal required all passengers to take a covid test on the third day! also, no ...

On december 26, 2022, the captain ran the ship into a sandbar on the amazon river. we lost all power (while i had just put shampoo in my hair in the shower). we also lost all water. we heard nothing from the bridge once emergency (and very limited) power came back on -- but not in our cabin. the ship dropped anchor --- i'm guessing to stop us from drifitng onto the shore or in the paths of ...
