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 ...
We joined this cruise with our 6 other friends to experience the Regent 6 star luxury service .
We were not warned that it would be the first cruise back in service after a 25 month break and short on trained staff . The cruise missed 3 of the 10 ports due to bad weather which added to the disappointment.
The rooms were luxurious and comfortable with a tiny balcony but pretty much up to the ...
We choose this cruise as we wished to experience the top end of the cruise industry. Not wishing to make a mistake we checked out what was on offer as best we could by attending an all day promotion and a visit to the Explorer while docked in Southampton. I had read the reviews relating to the Navigator regarding vibration and made a point of checking this out at the time of booking with regent as ...
We had good experience once before with Regent so we invited a third relative. The cabin that was "sold as" very spacious and adequate for a third was NOT. It was cramped and uncomfortable. The couch converted into a bed that was very uncomfortable. three days into the cruise we had to request attention to the mattress...they brought egg crate foam. The Compass Rose dining room food was ...
Previous cruises with Seabourn and Regent Mariner. Very disappointed, inconsistent quality of service in the Compass Rose, dismissive concierge staff and a Captain who is rarely visible and walks past passengers ignoring them. Many complaints from passengers about poor service and poor quality of food in the restraunts.
The Cruise started badly, on boarding presented with a card thanking me ...
We had sailed on the Regent Marina last year, flying to Rio de Janeiro. We decided to book this trip for the value (sale price) and also to travel with some friends who had not experienced some of the ports.
There are lots of positives so I will start with those:
We had a free upgrade to a Penthouse Suite which was very luxurious and had butler service. The service in the room and bars was ...
I recently sailed on the Regent Mariner on a 10 day Mediterranean cruise. It left from Rome and finished in Venice. I was sailing along with 12 other members of my family- it was somewhat of a family reunion for us.
We did spend one night in Rome as part of the cruise package. The hotel was lovely and served us a great breakfast. The name of the hotel was the Hotel Majestic.
We were transported ...
This was our first Regent cruise, having cruised with Crystal and Oceania. Thought we would try an inclusive line although we are not drinkers so did wonder if Regent would be worth the price.
Overall the cruise was fine but not up to the expectations we had (maybe they were too high?) First impression of ship interior was "ho hum" Where in the world did that weird collection of art come ...
We cruised the Mediterranean last week our fifth Regent cruise and could not be more disappointed. The food was well below the standard of a four star restaurant and the service was worse. Breakfast in the veranda was so bad that often we left without having received hot water for our own tea bags. It seemed too much trouble for the miserable staff to make us espresso coffee and we were never ...
This is a brief recap of my assessment of the aforementioned cruise on the Voyager that started on October 6, 2013 and ended October 13, 2013.
1. The crew and staff were very professional and provided excellent service. They appeared to take ownership of the cruise and displayed a desire to ensure all passengers were pleased, as though each crew member was responsible for the satisfaction of the ...
