Having had a land trip around S America cancelled, together with friends, we decided to push the boat out, excuse the pun, and treat ourselves to an ultra luxury cruise for once. We have cruised with the more mainstream lines, P&O, Cunard, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity on numerous occasions. We booked at a great price in August 21 for a deluxe veranda suite in no small part due to the vision we ...
My wife and I ( late '50s) have cruised a15-20 times over the years, we did Disney Cruises when our kids were younger and most recently HAL and our first higher-end small ship Crystal prior to COVID. After cruising on Crystal we were sold on the higher-end all-inclusive ships. This was our first time with Reagent and since we paid more than we have ever paid the expectation was high. I am an ...
Booked this cruise 2 years after our last Regent Cruise, which ended in February of 2020 in San Francisco. And, yes, we all know what happened then. I was so happy at the time that the cruise was so far out in 2022, that surely COVID would be done by then. Well, of course, just as we were trying to figure out what to do, Omicron hit and hard. The CDC issued a warning not to cruise, and we ...
We have cruised with Regent many times and having been on their Southampton to Barcelona trip in September 2021 (the second cruise after restart) we had such a lovely time we immediately booked to join our friend on their 'Icons of the Caribbean' trip - 14 days from Miami to Miami. Lovely itinerary and we were so excited.
Then of course Omicron hit - fast spreading even to the fully vaccinated ...
A HUGE thanks to Regent and especially the crew of the RSSC Splendor - some of whom hadn’t been off the ship since July-21 - for a lovely return to cruising. Our last cruise was in Jan/Feb-20 on the RSSC Explorer. This one had been booked for Jan-21.
Despite the backdrop of the latest manifestation of Covid - Omicron - from start to finish we felt safer on Splendor than back food shopping in ...
The cruise business has been hit hard in the era of Covid. The fleet has been moth-balled and the staff reassigned or employed elsewhere for many months.
I am scratching my head and trying to figure out how after this long hiatus, that the staff of Seven Seas Splendor was able to deliver a truly flawless experience.
The ship was impeccable. The staff was remarkable. Every employee ...
While we are not new cruisers we have never sailed on Regent Seven Seas. We chose this cruise based on the fact we liked the itinerary and wanted to try this particular cruise before we sail on a much longer cruise in 2022 with Regent. We had read many things about Regent Seven Seas, watched several videos and of course read much on CruiseCritic. Both of us had a difficult time believing all we ...
We don't like Nov so we get away to the south where the sun shines at least a bit most days.
We were on the Explorer for 24 days and at the Biltmore for another. ( They don't count this day as a cruise day).
The included pre-cruise stay at the Biltmore was fine. The hotel is far from downtown but the public spaces at least are spectacular. There are wonderful old large Florida houses in the ...
The executive summary: We had a great time on the Explorer and found the crew and ship to be exceptional. While there were things that could have been done better, overall, the entire cruise was excellent.
We were excited to get on board this 24 day cruise after so long off the sea. We are in our 50's and recently retired providing us the ability to take longer journeys. We were first time ...
Because we were on the Mariner and loved it.
The explorer is absolutely beautiful and our cruise was just magic.
Everything is perfect : the crew, the boat, the ambiance and the food.
We are very very pleased and we have booked for next year on the same boat boat .
Nothing to complain of.
We were before cruising with Silver Sea and have been so disappointed when it was sold to ...
