Very disappointing cruise considering the reputation of the company and the cost. I will cover each area of concern separately.

1. All inclusive: Part of their sales pitch is that the cruise is all inclusive except for some obvious things such as gambling. It is nice to have unlimited wine. However, the major value of "all inclusive" is the unlimited hard drinks; if you don't drink, you won't get the value of this feature. The drinks were long on ice and flavorings, short on liquor anyway.

2. Food: Highly disappointing especially as compared to Oceania. Offerings were repetitious; desserts, for example, were mostly flavored whipped cream/mousses or ganache; there were cakes of sorts, mostly thin slices of cake layered with mousses. The cake was terribly dry and unappetizing in any case. There was an overuse of mayonnaise in salads and seafood dishes, unpleasantly so. The attempts at ethnic food were failures. One curry was inedible. Sette Mare was one of the worst Italian restaurants I've ever been in. Cioppino is supposed to be a well flavored fish stew; what I was served was simply watered down tomato paste with some seafood, no garlic, fennel or other seasonings discernable, nor was any fish stock. If you enjoy eating, if you are a gourmet/foodie, if food is a big part of your cruise expectations, DO NOT choose Regent.

Cabin Review

Penthouse Suite

Overall comfortable and very good service. However, the rug could do with a shampoo. The white slippers we were given were filthy at the end of the trip. The caulk in part of the bathroom was lifting, displaying black mold. We reported that the shower stall door did not close and the water did not drain well; neither was fixed. The burned out floor night light was also reported and also not fixed.
