Regent Cruises Reviews

The cruise from Athens to Barcelona was a wonderful experience. The excursions were great, the food was delicious and the ship was beautiful. On a couple of our excursions, it seemed that the itineraries were changed from what we had originally signed up for. It wasn’t a game changer, just not what had been listed. We did feel that sometimes the service was lacking. We had to ask to get drinks or refills. Many times glasses sat empty for long periods of time before we could get anyone’s attention to ask. We felt many times that there was a lack of communication among the wait staff. We were in Suite 800, which is a Penthouse C on the front of the ship. The room itself was very comfortable and spacious, but being in the front, the balcony wall is too high to be able to see out, if sitting down. An easy fix would be high top furniture, at least on the balcony. I would not pick that location again. Our butler, Joshua and room attendant, Emmalyn, were both excellent. Making our entire trip a truly wonderful experience was Sue Scaletta, our Avoya agent!

We could have had better tour guides. A few were very good. Cruise lovely. Post trip. Guides on our buses were just fair. Opted out on the third day.

Regent continues to give exceptional service and a lovely experience. The downside to the Navigator is there are only 4 dining options for dinner-room service, the main dining room, Compass Rose, Setti Mari in the Veranda buffet and Prime 7, which is limited access via a reservation system. But, the food was excellent in Compass Rose so it was fine. The Amazon was surprising by how large it actually was. Overall, a great cruise.

The ship is beautiful and the service is exceptional. All the crew are so genuinely welcoming and helpful. The food is delicious in all the food venues, but absolutely marvelous in Compass Rose and Pacific Rim. Our cabin was so well thought out and comfortable that even longer cruises would not be a problem. Our only suggestions would be the excursions on the islands. They were below expectations for Regent; the transportation was sub-standard and they were boring. After the first stop we decided to stay on board the ship for the remainder of the cruise. We did do the Cooking Class on board which was wonderful.

Ship was beautiful, food fabulous, and staff absolutely wonderful!

Disappointed with pool on board and that we couldn’t land in St. Barts but can’t be helped

Falkland Islands, Argentina, Chile and the headline attraction was crossing the Drake Passage and visiting Antarctica. Regent Cruise Line hit a home run.

Enjoyed everything

Wonderful!

It’s a WOW experience in such a new and improved ship.

meal service was a material challenge for this crew the first 4 days. Would not recommend the suite

Twenty-day cruise was Perfect! Excellent logistics, entertainment, food and excursions! Another great job by Regent.

Navigator, the smallest ship in Regent's ocean fleet, began service as a Russian research vessel with an ice-strengthened hull in 1991. It tends to roll in even moderate seas. The food and service in the dining rooms and pool deck were uniformly good, sometimes outstanding. I started each day with hot tea brought to the cabin on time followed by squeezed to order vegetable juice combos and the varied breakfast buffet. A minus factor in catering, however, was that lunch entrees in both the dining room and the Veranda buffet were often identical. This lack of variety in a luxury operation is surprising. My balcony cabin felt cramped, possibly because of the very useful walk-in closet. Shower fixtures in both my cabin and the men's spa were very out of date and difficult to use. The shore excursions staff were very helpful as were all of the entertainers and cruise director's staff. Unfortunately they could do nothing about the disconnect between my state of the art hearing aids and the sound system in the show room and so I missed most of the entertainment, a big negative. While I may cruise on Regent again, it would not be on Navigator.

The weather was gorgeous and the service provided aboard the Regent Seven Seas Mariner was second to none. We have a wonderful relaxing vacation and would do it again in a heartbeat.

This was my first time in Regent Seven Seas. It was wonderful! The shore excursions were excellent! I highly recommend.
