1-10 of 13 Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Seven Seas Explorer Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews
We signed up for this cruise in 2020. We hoped by end of Oct. 2022 things with Covid would have settled down. Since this was to be our 6th Regent cruise, 2nd on Explorer, we believed the tours would be very good and safe. We believed we needed to be careful in many parts or the world now. Especially since we are in our seventies and walk a bit slower. We believed Regen would take good care of us ...
We booked this cruise for the itinerary, and because the dates fit. Regent is more expensive than our usual cruise, but we wanted to see if it was worth the money; it was not, which is why the cruise only received 3 stars.
We had booked a 14 day cruise. Three months before the sailing date, Regent sent us a notice that the cruise itinerary was being dramatically changed, dropping many cities ...
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 ...
We make spring crossings every year and decided to try the Explorer to see what it is like. Unfortunately, we booked a cat G suite which is very small, around 250 sq ft with only 24 inches of hanging space in the closet. I think this category was originally designed for single travelers, but couples were booked in all of them. They are still working out many problems left by the shipyard. A ...
We chose this for the itinerary-across the Med to many places we had not been, and to try out this form of travel--luxury cruise.Overall its unlikely we would do this kind of cruise again:
Beautiful ship, well appointed. Not quite 700 people on board and rarely felt crowded.
But as we came into the last few nights we were feeling too confined, limited choices. We very much like to spend ...
The biggest asset Regent have are their staff.
The suites are well designed, larger but why no chair other than a desk chair and the couch is poor. The bathroom/ shower is excellent.
The Veranda restaurant has a lot more space outside and the chairs are much improved. The tables are already getting chipped. The Speciality restaurants, Prime 7 , Chatreuse, and Pacific Rim are good although ...
We chose this Regent ship and cruise ,because of previous good experiences on the Voyager..
The ship is well appointed with very spacious and underused Public areas .[easy to find a quiet spot ] .The Library is very nice !
The activities are OK . The gym has nice new machines, however instruction in how to use them is lacking .
Ports on this cruise were well chosen . [ Athens to ...
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 ...
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 ...
