One stop shop for the cruise, excursions, pre and post and business class airfare

Pros: One stop shop for the cruise, excursions, pre and post and business class airfare

Cons: Due to the current airline issues they don’t always inform you of things such as flight DATE changes!

Review: Entertainment is consistently improved year over year. Dining is a treat where ever you choose to dine onboard. Lounges are comfortable and never over crowded. If you love space and luxury this is your ship!

loved business class, laundry cleaning every day.tThe food and shows were great

Pros: loved business class, laundry cleaning every day.tThe food and shows were great

Cons: The 12 hour tours were too ectic. it felt like it is tuesday and we are in Belgium

Review: the cabin was very nice. nice cigar room.

The interior design and decoration are as advertised - superb. The art work is a treat for the eye.

Pros: The interior design and decoration are as advertised - superb. The art work is a treat for the eye.

Cons: No forward looking deck space. There is the Observation Lounge which looks forward but tinted and slanted windows affect a a foto op (like a sunrise or set).

Review: Sit back, relax and just know that you will be pampered. The excellent service, food and beverages ease you into a very relaxing, well deserved vacation experience.

Pros: huge cabin, loved walk in closet and full bathroom service spot on food delious

Cons: not enough evening entertainment

Review: Nov is rainy time of year if doing Caribbean

Pros: No Pros

Cons: No Cons

Review: Hard to find any fault with anyone on a Regent cruise as everything is done and offered so well. The specialty restaurants are outstanding as is the main dining room.

Excellent food and amenities on the Explorer

Pros: Excellent food and amenities on the Explorer

Cons: Service was marginal when staff changed during different times throughout the duration of the cruise

Review: WiFi Services should be offered for the entire duration of the cruise. Unclear why WiFi was stopped at 6am on the day of disembarkation. Everyone was required to leave by 8am on disembarkation day , so having WiFi services until 8am would be a reasonable service offered to all cruise passengers. Also, credits earned for playing games should be easily redeemed and not have to play the “wait in line for an hour” game...then not be able to get the correct shirt size or items requested after the aggregation of standing in a long line. There are more efficient ways to redeem game points—filling out a form and picking up items before the day of disembarkation. Also, I experienced a noticeable decline in service received as the cruise came to an end...this should not be the case since the cruise ships prides itself on its services (i. e. at the beginning of the cruise room maintenance were much attentive to items needed in the cabin; as time went on, toiletries had to be requested more regularly.)

All-inclusive plan; smaller ships with 700-750 passengers; wonderful service, food and entertainment

Pros: All-inclusive plan; smaller ships with 700-750 passengers; wonderful service, food and entertainment

Cons: It is a bit pricey but truly you get good value for your money.

Review: Our experience on Regent (two cruises to date) has been outstanding. We opted for a Concierge level cabin on our last cruise and this included free business class flights to and from Europe and one free night at an elegant hotel in Venice pre-cruise . All transfers to and from the airport, ship, hotels were efficient and easy. Embarkation and disembarkation were handled smoothly. The staff and crew are excellent. I just can't say enough good things about this cruise line.

The most luxurious and customer focus ship that my wife and I have ever sailed on.

Pros: The most luxurious and customer focus ship that my wife and I have ever sailed on.

Cons: None

Review: Best cruise experience of our lifetime. We have been on 3 other cruise lines and the ship and Regent Staff are the best we have experienced.

Clearly the Explorer sets the standard on what is to be expected from a top of the line cruise company. d re vbe dlp;ploshipe

Pros: Clearly the Explorer sets the standard on what is to be expected from a top of the line cruise company. d re vbe dlp;ploshipe

Cons: None come to mind.

Review: We have traveled extensively but where not prepared for the degree of superb accommodations, food service and overall value provided by Regent. Though the price will deter some travelers, for those who can afford it, you will not be disappointed.

Ports of call, organized tours, everything about this ship!

Pros: Ports of call, organized tours, everything about this ship!

Cons: Maybe could have done with an extra sea day, this is intensive

Review: Second time on this ship, which is stunning. We loved everything about it and were very well looked after. The staff are outstanding We are not fans of the evening entertainment. Regent have changed dance/singer companies but are still stuck in the past.

Staff is very attentive, cabins has abundance of drawers and closet space. Most beautiful ship I have ever been on.

Pros: Staff is very attentive, cabins has abundance of drawers and closet space. Most beautiful ship I have ever been on.

Cons: Not enough time to go shopping! Excursions kept me very busy, if you have to tender in, it may take a bit longer, so tour would end later.

Review: Loved everything about the ship. Top notch entertainment, singers and dancers were also in charge of running the many games, they were very personable and fun. Lots of excursions, some ran a little longer than noted. The ship itself is so beautiful and elegant and easy to navigate.

Service, Personnel, great mochas, entertainment great

Pros: Service, Personnel, great mochas, entertainment great

Cons: Beds, Ports,

Review: Great cruise A couple small items if you want to know: Beds are twins put together and crack down the middle of bed is uncomfortable. Side dishes had no flavor to me. Like potato salad, cole slaw, etc. Service Superb! Great staff who remember your preferences, cater to your every whim! Can't hear the tour guides real well. Would love to have audio equipment.

Exceptional quality and service

Pros: Exceptional quality and service

Cons: Could not really find any

Review: We booked this cruise in order to try out a short itinerary before a longer one we booked on for So America next year. Loved the ship so much, we also booked a cruise to Norway.

Lots of room for all passengers in all the restaurants and public areas

Pros: Lots of room for all passengers in all the restaurants and public areas

Cons: The specialty restaurants are sold out very quickly

Review: This is a very nice ship. We have sailed on her twice and thoroughly enjoyed both cruises. The ship is quiet and spacious. The cabins are very nicely decorated. The beds are very comfortable. We have sailed on all the Regent ships. Like the other ships the crew on the Explorer is excellent. The service from the cabin to the dining room is wonderful. We especially like the dinner menus. There is great food for all tastes.

cabin design, cabin storage space, public art, specialty restaurants

Pros: cabin design, cabin storage space, public art, specialty restaurants

Cons: food only average to good, not great; coffee bar service poor; afternoon tea service average

Review: We were very impressed with the ship itself as it is beautifully appointed in and out. The cabin was spectacular with more storage space than we needed, excellent walk-in closet and fabulous bathroom. The food in Prime 7 and Chartreuse was good but not excellent and the food in Sette Mari and La Veranda was variable. Breakfast in La Veranda was very hit and miss with some poor service and overcrowding. The excursions were somewhat disorganized with not enough time allowed to visit the Titanic Museum or Chester or Holyrood House. There was no manicurist for the entire voyage. While the shows in the Constellation Theatre were good to very good the music in the Meridian Lounge and the Explorer Lounge was too loud. The Regent dancers and singers were excellent as was the choreography. The lectures were interesting but the speaker was quite dull.

Excellent Food; Excellent staterooms; Intro to many coastal cities NW France and Spain which were very nice

Pros: Excellent Food; Excellent staterooms; Intro to many coastal cities NW France and Spain which were very nice

Cons: Weak WiFi; Almost all tours without headsets so very hard to hear guides; Time available for many locations too short; provided meals on some excursions mostly not good

Review: Suggest some stops should have been longer - very rushed port schedules resulting in very rushed tours in some cases. If you're into enjoying essentially unlimited wines/drinks, good choice. A bit wasted on us (scant drinkers).

The organization, efficiency for coming and going is spot on. The crew, as always, gracious and helpful, Sonja in the Explorer Lounge actually found the tiny back to the earring that I lost and brought it to me while we were dining in the Compass Rose. Bathrooms are gorgeous, great layout and spacious. Closets and drawers for clothing were plentiful, nothing lacking in stateroom.

Pros: The organization, efficiency for coming and going is spot on.

Bathrooms are gorgeous, great layout and spacious. Closets and drawers for clothing were plentiful, nothing lacking in stateroom.

Cons: Some of the design on the ship seemed to be very disconnected, not the staterooms but the common areas. The artwork was very dark and though the significance of a piece of art is subjective, I saw it as very unpleasant to look at.

Review: Beatles dance night under the chandelier was great, the entertainment crew really contributed to a fun time. With all the specialty restaurants to choose from my favorite is still Compass Rose, always have a great meal there.

New, luxurious

Pros: New, luxurious

Cons: None

Review: Nice size (750 passengers), excellent service, all-inclusive. We were pleased with the wine selections.

Assistant purser, Alwyn and F&B Manager Daniela were extremely helpful and accommodating

Pros: Assistant purser, Alwyn and F&B Manager Daniela were extremely helpful and accommodating

Cons: Rude service in La Veranda. Category H is smaller than the H on the other three ships and is a disappointment. Category G is also a disappointment relative to the Cat G on the other three ships.

Review: The quality of the dining has improved greatly vs Regent's other three ships. Service in the dining rooms has always been lacking on Regent, and while the dining service is improved on the Explorer, much continued improvement is needed. Dining room service levels is a consistent complaint that we receive from our Regent clients. Show entertainment has improved meaningfully. Show entertainment has always been a shortfall of Regent, and it appears that it is improved on the Explorer.

Service, staff, food, excursions, amenities

Pros: Service, staff, food, excursions, amenities

Cons: None

Review: Most luxe ship on the planet, superb amenities, awesome food in MDR (which would be a specialty restaurant on any other ship), incomparable service and staff, everyone greets you and appears to be truly happy in their work, what more can I say? This ship needs to be on your bucket list no matter the itinerary. The "Best" is often overused but not in this case...

Beautiful ship and amazing Staff to compliment the entire experience. Room design with bed facing the balcony and water is perfect. Dining selections all delicious. Sports deck so much fun. Great lessons on playing bocce ball.

Pros: Luxury accomodations, Cusine, Service. NEVER needing to take out the cruise card!

Review: This is the 2nd cruise on the new Explorer as we did the Maiden Cruise and thought it ideal for our 59th Anniversary Celebration. We even had the same suite

New luxury ship, no children, exceptionally attentive staff, never any lines for waiting

Cons: None of consequence

Review: First class cruise with great staff supporting passengers.

Luxurious ship. Very good staff.

Pros: Luxurious ship. Very good staff.

Cons: No buffet dining after 4pm. So you need to go to the dining room or the other alternative restaurants.

Review: The staff is very friendly and gracious. Some of them were from other Regent ships but also for some this was their first ship. They really started at the top!! The Compass Rose Dining Room is beautiful and the choices on the menu were plentiful. The other restaurants were also very beautiful in décor and good choices on the menu.

Great Food and what a beautiful Ship

Pros: Great Food and what a beautiful Ship

Cons: No Cons

Review: We loved every bit of this trip the staff was wonderful and helpful.

The staff, food, excursions

Pros: The staff, food, excursions

Cons: Cabin category H suite. This is not comparable to Regent's other ships for the same category. No walk in closet, small, no storage. May be o.k. for a single traveler.

Review: This new ship offers all suites and all balconies for a total of 750 guests. There are three specialty restaurants on board. Pacific Rim, Prime 7 and Chartreuse. All which require a reservation. No worries there are two other fantastic choices for a great culinary experience. Compass Rose which is the main dining room has excellent choices and was always superb. Another great option was their Italian themed restaurant Sette Mari. Plenty of great wines to pair with all the meals too. They also have a Culinary Arts Kitchen with many different classes to sign up for. This a a first for Regent and was very popular. The production shows that we went to were very good. The Cruise Director was absolutely the best I have ever seen. He was even part of the entertainment. We thoroughly enjoyed the on board Lectures. The speaker was always available for Q & A and was on many of the shore excursions which made interaction with the guests quite enjoyable. It is always exciting to experience a new ship. This just happened to be the best one that will be hard to beat.

Cabins are well appointed; staff in most areas courteous and helpful

Pros: Cabins are well appointed; staff in most areas courteous and helpful

Cons: Compass Rose and Sette Mari staff were lacking/not up to Regent standards

Review:

Top notch Regent service; beautiful, comfortable, luxurious ship!

Pros: Top notch Regent service; beautiful, comfortable, luxurious ship!

Cons: Ship's doctor

Review: Overall our experience was fantastic. This is our fifth Regent cruise and the best in terms of service from the crew (except ship's doctor) and the comfort of the ship. As always food was excellent; accommodations throughout like a five-star hotel. The SS Explorer is quite an upgrade from the Voyager, Mariner and Navigator (though it's my understanding they've been upgraded since we last sailed on them). They have learned a lot about how to make things efficient for passengers in the suites and throughout the ship. My wife had to see the ship's doctor for a bad cold. In the forms she had to complete, she listed her allergies. He prescribed an over-the-counter med with an ingredient that is one of her allergies. He should have caught that. And of course we should have checked the ingredients ourselves. She broke out into a rash. Once we identified the allergic ingredient, she discontinued taking the med and the rash cleared up. The doc should have made the connection first, however. But we consider this an anomaly in the overall Regent experience. Otherwise, all was outstanding.

Surrounding could not be more beautiful. Restaurants are amazing.

Pros: Surrounding could not be more beautiful. Restaurants are amazing.

Cons: If needing to spend lots of time working on line, wifi is slow and spotty.

Review: The restaurants were amazing in both appearance and the quality and variety of food. I wish we'd had a couple days at sea.

Accommodations well laid out, new menus and dining venues, amenities (pool/sports deck), spa and culinary center well designed

Pros: Accommodations well laid out, new menus and dining venues, amenities (pool/sports deck), spa and culinary center well designed

Cons: No negatives....it's a beautiful ship!

Review: Regent still offers a top shelf, all inclusive cruise experience. Staff still some of the best I've sailed with. Accommodations and dining venues are well designed and spacious.
