We are retired couple who have traveled all over the world, we wanted to try one of the upscale cruise lines as we have been unhappy with most of the gigantic ship lines.
We got the penthouse suite which is only like the 3 category up and it was fabulous, plenty of room, walk in closest, large balcony.
People say the rooms are old but everything looked immaculate to us and perfect working ...
My wife and I are cruisers of 20 years and this was our first time on Regent. We chose back-to-back cruises in the Eastern Med in a Mariner suite and we were extremely disappointed by our experience. The ship, the dining, the entertainment were all painfully average, but the trip was totally marred by housekeeping issues. A stain on a sheet on the first night was changed quickly and efficiently. ...
Unfortunately, The Regent Experience was not even close to what we were expecting.
1-. The staff is great and friendly, but there is no leadership and lack of training. That results in very poor service and sometimes no service at all, a lot of confusion and frustration. To be able to get a drink or a soda, was at times imposible.
2-. The quality of the food is average at best, I would ...
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 ...
This new adventure started last October 8th in Civitavecchia (Rome) and ended eight days later in Athens (Greece). Indeed it was too short a time to be able to experience fully all the many amazing things you find and see in each visited port but also there is not enough time to properly get to know and fully enjoy this fantastic vessel, the Regent Seven Seas Voyager!
We left our home country ...
Just returned from the Rome to Athens cruise on the Voyager. Four of us chose this cruise to celebrate two 60th Birthdays. We had Penthouse C cabins on the 8th Deck which were beautiful and our Butler, Bish, was outstanding and so attentive! We ate at all of the dining venues with Prime 7 and Compass Rose being our favorites although they were all outstanding. (I was very confused about a ...
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 ...
We have been on all the RSS ships (as well as Seaboard and Silversea) and enjoy Voyager best. Indeed we had the same suite 1005 as last year from Singapore to Dubai. Meantime there has been extensive excellent refurbishment which has enhanced several areas.
Indeed after a less than satisfactory cruise in November on Explorer (a massive disappointment) we were regarding this cruise as make or ...
Many of our concerns about the cruise are the things that we miss most about the experience. The crowds never materialized. We never waited in line for anything. We enjoyed the quietude of the cruise with often few people in the public places. We often dined alone but never felt lonely. The atmosphere of the ship coupled with the quality of passengers made for a comfortable, yet upscale ...
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 ...
