1-10 of 15 Western Caribbean Seven Seas Explorer Western Caribbean Cruise Reviews
We chose this cruise for a late-Winter getaway to the Western Caribbean as a great way to evaluate the all-inclusive nature of Regent. We were not disappointed at all. The accommodations are very nice (especially after getting bumped up two levels), the food is very good, and the crew is exemplary! The Coronavirus was just getting a foothold in the USA and Regent was surprisingly well prepared. ...
Landed in Miami the day before sailing and Regent set us up in a very nice luxury hotel for the night. Breakfast in the morning was with other people embarking on the cruise and allowed us to meet a few new couples that we would see again aboard. We explored downtown Miami in the morning and then headed back to the hotel to catch the bus to the port that Regent had arranged.

We read , and foolishly believed the slogan” the most luxurious ship in the world, so promptly booked a Miami round trip, visiting Belize and Guatemala.
We flew to Miami, staying in the superb Biltmore hotel prior to our cruise.
Embarkation was a quick process, and we were welcomed onboard by smiling staff proffering small glasses of champagne. As it was lunchtime, we decided quickly to ...
> We have cruised many times but this was our first Regent cruise.
> We drove to Miami, and the afternoon before we were to embark we got a message from our travel agent that we were no longer going out of Terminal J, but rather terminal F. So the closest parking was parking garage G which was a bit of a walk to our terminal but very doable with the nice weather we had at boarding.

My wife and i have sailed on over 25 cruises ranging from large, to midsize, and to small ships, at both luxury and premium levels. For several years now we have wanted to try Regent but could not find an itinerary nor price point suitable for us. When this cruise was offered it was to sail to Havana as well as the western Caribbean, which we had not done before but was subsequently rerouted, ...
We booked this cruise line on the expectation of a beautiful,new ship and the level a service and attention that we experienced on Regent in past years. Wife needed a wheelchair when we boarded, which was available once we were on the ship. BUT, I was carrying three heavy bags and no one came to help. I had to drag the bags down to the lower level floor for safe keeping, When the room was ...
I researched the small luxury cruise market for a year. All of them. On advice from an advisor, I took a deep dive in Regent and with excursions included we concluded this was the best value proposition.
Having been with Silver Sea (and loving it), the a' la carte excursions were a budget ding we didn't appreciate since they were totally uncoordinated with the boat.

We chose this cruise to escape from the harsh NYC winter, check out the much-touted Explorer and celebrate our anniversary. This was our first Regent cruise, previously sailed on Seabourn, Paul Gauguin and Ponant (the latter with Tauck). First thing we noticed was the elderly (75+) demographic and lack of diversity among passengers. We are 60, fun loving, laid back and friendly. Didn't get to ...
Was on Regent last year for Eastern Caribbean and luckily did not repeat(tired of it been doing for too many winters now ) as the hurricane had ruined all the eastern ports. Interesting ports...still like the eastern itinerary ..better, Too old to go snorkling and do water sports.
Weather was terrible except for 2 days. So unusual. Have been traveling in the Caribbean for many years and ...
Of the 22 cruises we have experienced, this was the Best! The entire crew was absolutely first class. Their command of the English language was very impressive. When you are able to communicate as well as have the occasional joke with foreign crews---this certainly enhanced our trip. I was onboard six days before I ever had to ask someone to refill my coffee---an example of how they monitored ...
