This was our first time on Mariner, but we have sailed on the RSSC Navigator and Explorer. We are booked on the Voyager for December. This 7 day cruise was our first to Alaska, cruising Vancouver to Vancouver.
One on-board, we asked about a possible upgrade from our rather small concierge suite #871. For $1,000 additional, we moved to PH suite 905. It was money well spent. In addition to ...
We wanted a relaxing cruise with a luxury cruise line and the opportunity to explore a portion of Alaska while enjoying fantastic scenery. We were not disappointed. The embarkation and disembarkation were incredibly well organized. Our penthouse suite (1014) and our butler (Irfan) were simply fabulous. The room was quite spacious with a wonderful balcony. The amenities were first rate and every ...
The positive - Food was generally quite good. Specialty restaurants well above average. Rooms were slightly worn but spacious. Alaska post-tour Denali was well organized. The negative - Original bill (final payment before the trip) was incorrect. It required at least 10 calls to straighten out. Many people onboard had the same experience as I did with excursion services. Although we had paid and ...
We just returned from our cruise on the Regent Seven Seas Mariner to Alaska, from Vancouver - Seward, sailing May 21-31, 2017.
This was our first Regent Cruise and our last. We are experienced travelers, we dine out 3 - 4 times per week, and I am a trained chef. We most recently cruised with Crystal in October 2016.
The ship was beautifully appointed and our suite was wonderful. The crew in ...
My husband and I booked this cruise 18months ago following a presentation which combined an excursion with Rocky Mountaineer prior to this cruise. This suited our needs to celebrate our special birthdays and were looking forward to experiencing a 6 star ship. We have previously sailed with Celebrity.
Embarkation in Vancouver was very quick and easy and it wasn't long before we were sat on the ...
Well organized embarkation and good excursions, friendly and very helpful staff, excellent entertainment--something for everyone, food was very good, better in Signature and Prime Restaurants, but also good in Compass Rose. Loved the layout of the pool deck area, comfortable and very clean. There are several cocktail lounges and coffee bars, plus library with puzzles and games and a fun casino, ...
The management in the dining areas treated us terribly. If you did not make reservations two months prior to the cruise you had to eat at the same restaurant almost every night. It was pretty boring. They are extremely rigid and unaccommodating.
We spent a lot of time in the pool area because when you are stuck on the boat for 24 hours on the first and last day of the cruise there is not much ...
Regent - Mariner met all our high expectations. Service was great as was the food. We splurged a bit and had a butler (also came with a slightly larger room). He ( Ryan ) was also terrific and glad we splurged, but the trip would have been fantastic without the butler. The bathroom was elegant, the closet much bigger than we expected, service was prompt, the lectures (Terry Breen) were really ...
Five stars for the ship and the cruise itself, through the Inside Passage. The Regent before- and after- arrangements? Not so. Three star, at best. Thus the four star blend.
Our before-departure arrangements placed us in the Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver, a rather tired 40 year-old convention and large group property which is starting to show its seams (there is a newer St Regis just around ...
Amazing Cruise from pre-cruise accommodations to post cruise trip!! My husband and I had never been on a cruise beforehand. My husband said he would never go on a cruise except to Alaska, so since it was our 40th Anniversary, we researched the different options available and decided to book with Regent. My husband did not want a large ship and I did not want a small ship, so we compromised on ...
