Monaco (Monte Carlo) to Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Regent Seven Seas Explorer Cruise Reviews

Ship is beautiful, rooms just as described, beds great, tours were very good. Food was hit and miss but not really what I hoped for, had as good or better at other resorts for a fraction of the price. Some parts of the meals seemed prepared way ahead of time and looked and tasted like it. Service in the specialty restaurants was iffy, especially the French and Asian, there it was bad to pushy and ...

My wife and I sailed on October 4th from Monte Carlo to Athens. We have cruised 9 times on 7 different cruise lines. This was our first time with Regent. The ship, common rooms and cabins were the best I have ever seen. However, the staff and crew were new and therefore the service was not as good as I had hoped. The free internet was spotty and inconsistent. The ship also had some problems ...

This cruise would have got full marks if I had been sailing on either of the other Regent Ships, (Mariner or Voyager) as the service was excellent, as was the food and beverages offered - excellent quality and presentation. In particular the speciality restaurants. However as the ship was hailed (and as we were repeatedly told, it wore thin after a while) "the most luxurious ship ever built", that ...

We chose this much lauded inaugural cruise on REGENT'S EXPLORER I want to start this review by saying something nice (it goes downhill from here). Whoever designed the ship & did the interior design did a fabulous job. It's lovely! End of good news. We paid an outrageous sum of money to be on the inaugural voyage because we read that this was going to be an amazing experience. It was - for ...

We chose this cruise for it's unique Maiden Voyage and our 15th on Regent/ Raddison. Additionally, the itinerary was superb as we visited 8 ports not visited on any other cruise we completed. Additionally, this is the 2ne Regent cruise we started in Monte Carlo and ended with a sail into Venice The ship is exquisite inside and out with very modern and deluxe common areas, bars, and ...

Whilst the ship is impressive, to call this a Maiden Voyage was rather a misnomer. There was nothing "special" about the cruise - no "wow" factor, no special event (not even one formal night) and the new entertainment from 'in house' Norwegian Holdings was second rate compared to what we had experience on many previous Regent cruise. I felt that I had been duped into taking a cruise that I ...

We have been loyal Regent cruisers for more than ten years and were very excited when reading about the new Regent Explorer. The ship is, indeed, spectacular. The design is unique and elegant in all regards. Fabulous wide, winding staircases allow for open views of numerous public areas. We found the staff overall to be up to the normal Regent standards. I am always amazed when a server ...

I spoke to many fellow passengers both during and after the cruise and apart from the usual litany of petty complaints and genuine grievances there was a common theme of which Regent had better take urgent note. We were told this maiden voyage of "the most luxurious ship in the world" would be truly special and memorable and worth every cent of the considerable price we paid for the privilege of ...
