Chose this cruise for itinerary an Regent's reputation. Overall really beautiful ship. Very well maintained. Excellent cabin and bathroom with more storage then we could use. Outstanding food. Service was excellent and very friendly. One port of call skipped and another changed because of weather(obviously not Regent's fault). They did not handle the excursion changes well. Included excursions ...
This was our fourth cruise, our last one was about seven years ago on Oceania. We had heard a lot about Regent and were eager to experience their brand of luxury travel, which is inclusive; no signing,tipping etc.
As the cruise was high end and superbly rated, we expected near perfection. we were very disappointed.
The ship was beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. The crew exceeded ...
We really enjoyed our first cruise on Voyager having previously cruised twice on Mariner. We enjoyed everything about the cruise, the food, crew, cabin, public areas and included excursions were all very good. Although you would expect to get vibrations on a ship and this in itself would not be a problem, the vibrations caused the ceilings of our aft cabin to 'tick' loudly causing us to lose a ...
We were first-time cruisers with Regent. We had heard such good things about them so decided we must try them.
We had used Seabourne on many occasions. We are perennial cruisers and I have never complained about a cruise line before. We have been on four cruises this last year.
Transfer from the airport to the dock to pick up the water taxi was a nightmare and not suited to travelers whose ...
My wife and I have cruised on two other lines: Disney when with the grandkids and Crystal just for us. We were looking for a Med cruise this October and checked Crystal first but neither of their ships were in the area we wanted. So we took a chance and booked Regent's newest ship, the Explorer, from Venice to Istanbul. But when the problems erupted in Turkey, we switched to the Navigator from ...
Positives-Amazing weather. Best butler. Great food in Sette Mare and Prime 7. Nice pool & aft infinity pool lovely but hard to access.Fun experience in Asian restaurant. Entertainment - such very good shows-loved the Opera Girls. Fun cruise director. Love David Nevin's show. Liked breakfast in Sette Mare.
Negatives- Cabin(see below). No outdoor bar. Bad excursions with crummy buses(they were ...
We have been fortunate to experience over 30 cruises but never with Regent. Our primary motivation for booking this cruise was to make a comparison with our favourite line Seabourn. This is our analysis for what it is worth.
The classiest: Seabourn wins hands down. When you arrive Seabourn offers a selection of spa-type soaps and gels. They have placed two of your chosen alcoholic beverages in ...
We chose this cruise as there were ports and islands we had not visited before. Our overnight stay in Venice was good and embarkation as normal but the suites weren't ready until mid afternoon. The refurbishment was not very good in respect of the suites. Some new dark woodwork fittings which were nice but the rest was the old original light woodwork. The marble tops of the desk and table did ...
This was our seventh cruise, having previously sailed with Celebrity, Azamara and Seabourn.
I liked the layout of the ship and thought the food in all of the restaurants was of a very high standard and could not be faulted. Service however was patchy and we often had to go up to the bar and ask for a drink as there did not seem to be enough waiting staff in the pool area or horizons lounge. ...
This cruise was my fourth. I've sailed Princess, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean. I'm an avid traveler and chose this cruise based on the terrific itinerary. My DH and I traveled with my parents who have sailed on Regent Seven Seas Mariner five previous times. Bottom line: The wonderful ship environment was not matched with equally above average excursions. Since the excursions were included in the ...
