Seven Seas Mariner March 22, 2015 Buenos Aires to Rio 11 nights

| Buenos Aires to Rio
The main city stops were Montevideo, Santos and Rio. There were several days with tenders and some days the seas were rough. Most stops featured beaches and some hiking or sailing/snorkeling outings. Entertainment and enrichment were weak on this cruise.

SS Mariner-Aug. 24, 2023

| Venice to Barcelona
First time sailing on Regent. Mariner is an older ship, but I thought it looked beautiful. Make sure you reserve a cabin with walk-in shower. Bathtubs are difficult to step in and out of. Dinner at Chartreuse was delicious.

Mostly sunny, but....

| Tahiti, Pago tauranga New Zealand
Sorry we lost the Xmas decorations contest. We lost 2-1/2 days of shore activities, but received no real compensation. Should get additional tour, harbor, special meal, wine selection, or whatever. Next, you need to schedule tours more than once on cruise. We wanted to do several tours on ship, but they were offered only once with lots of conflicts.

Alaskan Cruise

| Seward, Sitka, Juneau, Skaway, Ketchikan and Vancouver
The staff aboard the Mariner was exceptional in every facet. Every crew member was courteous and willing to give whatever effort necessary to ensure that every client onboard would have the maximum enjoyment from their vacation investment. The housekeeping staff was awesome to state it mildly. I have never been treated with such professionalism and pride in their jobs. I would like to thank the Regent organization for putting together the mechanics of the experience which made every passenger onboard happy and proud to have had such an experience!

Alaska Cruise, Vancouver, Ketchikan, Juneau, Sitka, Victoria B.C. Astoria, Oregon, San Francisco, CA.

| Alaska and Canada
A very wonderful cruise from the moment we stepped on board. The staff are all very pleasant and accommodating . The food is delightful . Good idea to sign up online for the different restaurants as soon as possible . No extra charge. Our weather was good enough to sit outside for breakfast or lunch at La Veranda restaurant . At night, we had dinner some nights in the Italian restaurant, Sette Mari, where you only need to show up in time to secure a table. Fun food and great Italian waiters. The lectures are excellent on this ship and well worth going to. We had Patricia Kramer from the Smithsonian Institution lecturing on all things Alaska. Additionally, we listened to Martin Smith and Marcela Gaviria from Frontline on the Middle East situation. We also had the questions and answers with California retired Senator, Barbara Boxer. Many of the shore excursions are included in the cost of the cruise, so it is also a good idea to select your favorites early. We enjoyed several excellent excursions. My favorite was in Astoria, Oregon to Fort Clatsop and the Lewis and Clark expedition site. We enjoyed walking around on our own in Ketchikan after an expertly guided Rainforest expedition, walking tour. It had rained 11 inches the day before we got there , and we were there on the first sunny day in many weeks. We had a great viewing of the salmon run in the river through town. The river was swollen, so it was difficult for the salmon.
A lot of excitement was created by the ship coming quite close to the Hubbard Glacier on a beautiful, sunny day.  
Back to the ship and the excellent Cruise Director, Paul Reynolds who managed the entertainment schedule . Marla offered a gathering in the evenings for single travelers, so no need to be alone.  Our favorite hangout was the Observation Lounge on Deck 12 in the pre-dinner hour.  

Best service

| Alaska
A great cruise. Not perfect, but what is?

No Suprises

| Alaska
Regent never fails to provide quality service. Staff have more class than some passengers. When it says no jeans at dinner and here comes some passenger walking to his table wearing less than proper attire, it can put a damper on expectations. If you want Carnival Cruise Line atmosphere, then go for it! With Regent, do yourself a favor and dress appropriately. Again, not a big deal but Regent puts forth a great effort. So should you!

Our first cruise

| Vancouver to Seward via Inland Passage
We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise in Alaska on the Mariner, and were very happy to be on a ship no larger than 700 passengers. While there were some glitches in our selection of excursions and in their billing, in general everything was very well organized. The crew was exceptionally friendly at all times.

?

| Med
Prime 7 and Signatures were unavailable after ship had sailed. Would not sail on Regent again without confirmed dinner reservations before departure.

An elegant exciting adventure

| Alaska
Overall trip was fantastic. Our only dilemma was our transportation from airport to hotel provided by Regent. Was a little disorganized so we opted to taxi to hotel after a 45 minute wait. Once we boarded the bus to our our port the following morning everything was very organized and smooth sailing. I would highly recommend this cruise line to anyone. Courteous staff, who after the first night knew your names and would greet with a friendly smile and great conversation.

Alaska from Seward to Vancouver, 17-24 August 2016

| See above
The " Voyage Memories" DVD is an amateurish assembly of, largely, the evening floor shows, with a very poor sound track, and a few shots of several visited downtown areas. There is no coverage of the ship's dining rooms and cuisine, bars, library, suites, the observation deck, swimming pool, hot tubs, athletic facilities, or shore excursions, The DVD's quality falls woefully below the high standards of all other aspects of our cruise experience with Regent.

On board the Regent Mariner

| Mediterranean
Shore excursions were included and guides for the most part were extremely well informed. Staff was always available to assist with any needs. Cuisine in the alternative dining venues was excellent, well prepared and service outstanding. The Cirque show was one of the best performances I've ever seen on a cruise.

Rome to Lisbon trip

| Rome to Lisbon , 10 days
Spend a little more time at ports instead of leaving early and waiting to dock in early am .Entertainment should have been tailored to older crowd , songs shoyuld have been from 50's, 60's and 70's. The Jean Ann Ryan team seemed a bit lacking in timing and connecting with the audience.

Regents Cruise to the Mediterranean

| Venice, Ravenna, Split, Dubrovik, Corfu, Capri, Sicily, Amalfi, Rome
The ship was GREAT! The pre & post cruise hotels not so much. Be sure to discuss them before booking. Pre-cruise hotel was located on a barrier island instead of the mainland of Venice. Having to wait on water taxi's really limited our ability to see and explore Venice. Other passengers on the same cruise were located on the mainland of Venice. I don't understand... The post cruise hotel was a five star hotel but lacked warmth & comfort. The Palazzo Montemartini was very contemporary, cold, & utilitarian. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would recommend it to others.

Excellent Cruise

| French Polynesia
This is an excellent cruise line. This was our 8th cruise with them and, once agin, they "wowed" us. I can't say enough about the wonderful service and excellent food. Everything was top notch.

Jewels of the Riveria

| Mediterranean
The ship has been beautifully refurbished. It is a very comfortable ship with lovely appointments. The ship is the perfect size, large enough for variety in dining and entertainment, while not overwhelming or too large for smaller ports of call. The food in all the restaurants was excellent. The fact that the evening dress code is "Elegant Casual" makes packing and dressing for dinner much simpler, particularly on a port intensive cruise such as this.  Most of the included tours were excellent, though sometimes difficult to hear the guides.  They would have been better if headsets were provided.

Sailing on the Mariner September 14, 2022

| Alaska
The ship was very clean and well maintained. The itinerary had a good selection of ports and Hubbard Glacier. The naturalist onboard was interesting as well as the lecturers. There was a good mix of new and experienced crew and staff onboard. They made each guest feel welcome. The activities onboard were very good at engaging guests. Food was excellent with a wide variety of choices. The two specialty restaurants were well received with a good selection of choices on the menu. The entertainment onboard needs more variety, as it was geared to a more mature crowd. The spa was very well received and good variety of service. The shops onboard need more selections, but this could be due to the end of the Alaska season.

Alaskan Cruise

| Alaska
The Hilton Hotel in Anchorage room air conditioner never got below 81 degrees. This is the only glitch we had. Loved our butler Ash. Brought us coffee each morning. Ed our waiter in Compass Rose every night was so efficient. Claire in the breakfast and lunch La Veranda. I don't think the ship was full (I heard 400) so there was an abundance of crew which spoiled us. Overall, I wish I was back there right now. 

Regent Mariner

| Mediterranean
The ship is 100% suites all with balconies on the Mariner. Let’s hear it for all inclusive! Now you can have it all! Cocktails, specialty restaurants, gratuities, transfers, air fares & free unlimited SHORE EXCURSIONS! With Travelstore’s Signature amenities, you would have a ship board credit to go shopping in the gift shop or have treatments in the Canyon Ranch Spa!
 
There are 5 dining choices on the Marnier - The main dining room is the Compass Rose, where you have a variety of dishes to choose from, 5 courses, nice intermezzo, and wine being poured to your heart’s content. Veggie, Kosher and Spa menus are also available…
 
La Veranda is a bit more laid back than the Compass Rose, and it is lovely on the aft deck to watch amazing sunsets. It offers the same wonderful service up there as well as a selection of fabulous wines. The cuisine is Italian, and it delivers! The biggest difference in the service is that you order from a menu and your salad and appetizers are buffet style. Amazing, and we wished we had found this restaurant earlier!
 
There are 2 specialty restaurants - Signatures and Prime 7. Signatures, a French restaurant, is lovely & romantic. The food was delicious! Reservations are required, no worries you can reserve both specialty restaurants online before you board!
 
Prime 7 was my absolute favorite on board restaurant! They have the traditional old school steak house menu, complete with creamed spinach! It was to die for! I would have loved to go back to that restaurant, and I will the very next time I sail on Regent Seven Seas! And I can’t wait!
 
Up on deck one evening there is a huge BBQ! Complete with all of the chefs and crew. Both sides of the ship were filled with salads, sushi, raw bar, pasta, roast pig, roast beef, and yummy deserts. Then the band came to play and the ship just danced the night away!
 
Upon return to the ship in Civitavecchia (the port for Rome) there was a huge welcome home sign on the side of the ship, a band playing, and the staff applauding each and every guest as they returned to the ship. Since my sister and I stayed locally while there, we experienced this all to ourselves, we were feeling like Hollywood A-listers! Autographs anyone?
 
Several social meeting places were the Coffee Connection for fresh lattes and espresso all day and night.
 
The Horizon lounge where live entertainment performs nightly, Observation lounge where the piano is going most nights, Stars lounge for disco, The Mariner Lounge for before or after dinner drinks, and let’s not forget the Connoisseur Club, a place where cigars are in fashion, there is bar service, and laughter is inevitable!
 
Regent Seven Seas delivers luxury and will not disappoint. The inclusiveness of this cruise line and the level of service you are going to receive is priceless!
 
The thought of not worrying about this while on vacation, actually puts you on vacation! In a word WOW!

Seven Seas Mariner

| Alaska

South Pacific Discovery

| Tahiti, Samoa, Fiji, Vanuatu, New Zealand
I am such a big fan of Regent Seven Seas! I love the ship, the food is outstanding and my husband relaxed for the first time in a few years! My group was about 54 guests, we had a lot of fun with them. Starting with the cocktail party we all made new friends and I had some questions from several guests but had helped with the resolve of any issue they had. We shared cocktails, dinners, lunches and even breakfasts with the Signature guests. The ship is well maintained and the crew is amazing! I had remembered several of the wait staff from my June cruise, and all were very welcoming. Lots of families and multi- generations on the double holiday voyage. Good to see children having fun on board. The Captain is very approachable and charming as only an Italian Captain can be, the food and beverage director was fantastic as were his crew. We were rained out of 2 Tahitian islands as it is wet season in December, but it was great to relax on board. The cuisine was exceptional, my favorite restaurant is Signatures with a French influence, but Prime 7 was a close runner up! The buffet up top on the 11th deck by day, turns into a lovely Al fresco restaurant in the evenings and has an Italian cuisine, very casual but very elegant. The shows in the showroom featured a Cirque Du Soleil type of act, I wasn't a fan as the gymnast was EXTREMELY thin, so hard to watch, and once you saw the act once, the next time you saw it, it was the same act to a different song. On New years eve they did a James Bond theme in the show room with a martini tasting fun in the audience. The islands were great, my favorite was Champagne Beach in Vanuatu, it was perfect! The perfect powder sugar sand, the clear blue water with the perfect temperature and a sand bottom, it was heaven! New Zealand was my 2nd favorite in the Bay of Islands we had a great kayaking trip to a waterfall, free time after to enjoy the adorable town! In Fiji it was lovely, hubby Jake became the chief in Suva! another great place for waterfall fans like us! Overall I would do this trip over and over again it was awesome!

Mariner 23SEP14 Voyage

| Mediterranean
The ship itself looks great - the recent renovation has left the common areas feeling new and very chic, but still comfortable. Our stateroom was very clean and felt like that of a new ship. The storage space was wonderful. We were especially impressed by the food onboard and were thrilled to be able to provide a galley tour to our group with Chef Kelly Cochrane. Every meal or snack we had was excellent and we enjoyed delicious meals in all three specialty restaurants. The only thing that we found better than the food was the service. The staff on board, from the captain to the room stewards, were friendly, anxious to help, and eager to bring you whatever you wanted. In particular, we enjoyed Maria and Zennifer, who waited nights in the Italian restraunt, and Ashley, who was head of security and always welcomed us by name when we left or returned to the ship. Every show we saw was professional and very entertaining. We heard many, many people onboard (include a casting director) who felt as if the shows and performers were Broadway quality. We did not use the spa, but heard great things from friends who did. The gym was perfect for the size and clientele on the ship - it just would have been better if it opened at 6 AM, instead of 7 AM as this made it difficult to workout with 8 AM shore excursions. The only thing we felt was not really up to par was the shore excursion offerings. I understand that the clientele on this ship might like half-day excursions so that they can return to the ship for lunch, which is fine. It would have been nice to have been able to participate in two excursions on some days. In addition, we found that the time allowed to do/see anything in a 3-4 hour excursion was not really sufficient and felt rushed. However, most of the guides we had were very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Finally, the staff assigned to work with our group was second to none. They were willing to do anything and everything to help us ensure that our group received some extra care. This ship's staff would serve as a great training model for exceptional service onboard a cruise ship.

Alaska Trip

| Alaska
We would like to see more classes . The tours they arranged were excellent. We would use them again.

Mendenhall Glacier Cruise

| Alaska
Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and looking forward to another one in the near future.

Jewels of the Pacific

| LA, Ensenada, Cabo San Lucas, LaPaz, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, San Diego, LA
All staff are very accommodating and friendly. Housekeepng staff called us by name from the moment we met them and throughout the trip, even when we weren't in the immediate area of our suite. Excursion glitch: When we arrived at our horseback ride excursion, we were told that Mexican law prohibited people older than 70 from participating. Regent personnel said they were not aware of this requirement. The itinerary was changed slightly (we did not go to Manzanillo and San Diego was added at the end) to avoid Hurricane Rosyln, a wise choice on the part of Regent, which didn't affect the enjoyment of our cruise.

Havana first!

| Havana and Caribbean
I was very surprised that the cabin stewards never came by to introduce themselves or ask us what we needed (usually what type of alcohol). We never saw them the entire trip, unlike previous cruises . Most disappointing part of trip as they are usually so ready to help and I enjoy talking with them. Being the first trip to Havana Regent did a good job, only negative was being on a wait list for excursion and never being notified when space became available. We managed to wander to the desk at the right time and procured two cars ??. If we weren't there we would not have gotten them. Mariner cabins are tired looking, glad it's being refurbished soon. Would benefit from another day in Havana, skip Mexico port and cruise another day or two. I am looking forward to September cruise on the Explorer!

Regent Mariner ----LUXURY Alaska All Inclusive Cruise

| Alaska
I think this is a winner. It's a beautiful ship. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The food is excellent. AND for an itinerary where people really want to do great shore excursions (which really adds up) ---they are all included. AND they are good ones ! Every single shore excursion we chose was terrific and always seemed to have a $150-$200 per person value. They were top notch. All spirits, wine, sodas ----all included. AND you are offered excellent known brands. (They also try to remember what you drink !) Food selection is wonderful. Two specialty restaurants to make reservations for----no additional charge-----plus the "Lido" type restaurant turns into an Italian themed restaurant by night. You order off of the menu and are served......but you go to help yourself to the Salad and Dessert Buffet Selections. Entertainment is excellent. Lecturers are terrific. The fussiest people will find much to love about Regent. AND here is the big eye-opener. After two years of Covid and lots of cancelled sailings.......we spoke to a BUNCH of people who already have 5 or 6 Cruises BOOKED. It was amazing. There is obviously a pent up demand. AND Regent makes them HAPPY.

Great Experience

| Alaska
We had a great time. Everything was perfect! If I had to choose one con it would be that the decor/ colors/ interior design of the ship was rather outdated (think major hotel chains such as Sheraton before the recent updates): marble, gold, etc. I would very much prefer more modern design.

Alaska Experience

| Alaska
This was our 4th cruise on Regent. Overall a good experience, but slightly below prior cruises. On day of departure started getting symptoms of Covid so we have to assume we contracted it fom on board ship. Recovered but unfortunate.

Amazing way to see Alaska!

| Alaska
As first time cruisers (and after reading all about cruising in general) we had high hopes for our Regent experience, but this went above and beyond our expectations. Suites were so much bigger, better, and well equipped than I expected - including 4 power outlets! We loved spending early mornings and late evenings on our private balcony. The staff was always gracious and accommodating. The food was delicious and ever-changing. The excursions were well-executed - and interesting glimpses into four very different ports. We were lucky that our weather was exceptional, but even so, I have to imagine a rainy day just would have given us a chance to explore the boat and ongoing activities even more. We never thought we'd enjoy a cruise - now we can't wait to plan our next one. With REGENT, of course!

Wonderful cruise

| Istanbul and Greek Isles
Wonderful service and food. Our room was terrific, very roomy.

Mariner in China/Japan

| China, Korea, Japan
As always fantastic staff throughout the trip. We did comment while on board about dining in the Verandah/Sette Mari which was frequently chaotic. For breakfast and lunch they now have tables in the walkways at the side which are poor spots to sit at and very congested. This was never a problem before and there are no more passengers so what happened? In the future we will avoid suites under the pool deck. You can hear all the furniture being moved around. One morning that was at 6-45am - I did go up and complain and reported that at reception. Otherwise classic Regent!

Second leg of World cruise 2020 San Francisco to Papeete, Tahiti

| San Francisco to Papeete Tahiti
This was the second leg of the 2020 World cruise.  300 of the 700 passengers were on for the Full World Cruise.  Regent had 2 World Cruise Ambassadors on board: Nunzio and Siena.  They were a wonderful addition to the normal staff on board.
 
I enjoyed the dance classes.  Latin as well as Polynesian dance.
 
I highly recommend SS Mariner!

Mediterranean Beaches

| Barcelona to Rome
I thought that the tub/shower arrangement was very unsatisfactory. There was nothing to hang on to if you happened to slip. And the tub was most difficult to exit. I am quite agile so I felt for anyone who wasn't. I understand that some of the penthouse suites had just a shower. That would have been much better.

Alaska June 2016

| Alaska
Our fourth Regent cruise and first time on Mariner. Mariner is now our favorite Regent ship. Food, entertainment, and service were the usual high standards set by Regent.

Excellent cruise line

| Alaska
This was our fourth cruise with Regent Seven Seas! We love the excursions, dining, staff service and the fact that it’s all inclusive!

Canada and New England cruise aboard the Mariner September 17, 2023

| New England and Canada
From the start, sailing out of New York was absolutely the greatest. Passing by the Statue of Liberty as it was lit up was really special. 
This itinerary is great with Bar Harbor and all of the Canadian ports as well. I have a hard time saying which was my favorite because it was all great. We were lucky with weather as well. 

Seven Seas Mariner 2015 Oct 21-31 Rome to Lisbon

|
The itinerary was a wonderful Mediterranean sampling that included Italy, Monaco, France, Spain and Portugal. A special treat for many long time RSSC cruisers was a first time port call at Rock of Gibraltar. It is almost impossible to think that this ship was built in 2001. She looks fresh and elegant. All suite, all balcony and so much public space that it's difficult to believe that she is sold out as always. We received good food, great service, no waiting, good attitudes and smiling faces. There's not much more to wish for. The guests are a wide range of ages and guests all seemed to enjoy themselves. I did not see any growling, scowling people at the Purser's desk.

Signature Travel Network Host--The Ultimate Amazon--Rio to Miami

| Brazil
Overall, the cruise deserves an excellent rating. Our only suggestions are that the menu in the main dining room be enhanced to include more main course selections--we found them to be somewhat limited at times. Both Prime 7 and Signature specialty restaurants were outstanding. One other comment is regarding the in-suite television programming. While very good overall, you really need to consider adding a US sports channel such as ESPN so guests can keep up with sports activities in the US. Our cruise was during the NFL playoffs and sometimes it would be 2 days before we found out the scores of various games.

Venice to Rome

| Venice to Rome
This was a lovely ship and the cabins were nice. Too formal for my taste and little to do on ship.

Trip of a Lifetime!

| Mediterranean
My husband and I just returned from a Mediterranean Cruise on the Regent Mariner. It was, by far, the trip of a lifetime! We already booked an Alaskan Cruise for next summer with Regent as well. We don't have one complaint about the cruise, everything was seamless. Looking forward to next summer for round two!

Attractive Interior

| Monte Carlo to Barcelona
The Mariner is a wonderful comfortable ship.The interior fabric on the furniture and carpet are stunning. Observation Lounge in white leather is like a private yacht. Everything is included from cocktails to in suite movies. Big shower with a seat. Nice soap. Food too good. Martinis the best.

11 day western Caribbean cruise

| western Caribbean
We stayed in the Grand Suite, remained on-board, and enjoyed a relaxing eleven days. Our butler was most pleasant and quite helpful. Our suite was well appointed and most comfortable.

Regent Seven Seas Mariner -June 29, 2014

| Barcelona to Rome
The ship looks really wonderful. Great attention to detail was put into decor and lighting of public spaces. The Mariner Lounge looks both cozy and elegant and was a favorite. The Observation Lounge looks beautiful but misses a little on the comfort level. Both specialty restaurants remain in high demand and still get great reviews. Sette Mari (which is La Veranda, transformed at night to an Italian restaurant) has gained in popularity and was often full. Suites have had a facelift and the verandah furniture is cushy and comfortable. The pool area is still in the process of a facelift and is going to be beautiful. My cruise on June 29 had 3 ports canceled, 2 due to weather too choppy to tender and one due to a strike in Marseille. Regent made the cancelation late in the evening for Port Vendres so upon arrival in the alternate port of Sete the next day, there were no excursions but guests were able to go ashore. Marseille was canceled for the following day so Regent was able to put together excursions from Sete to appease the guests. The 3rd cancelation was the following day in Saint Tropez so Villefranche-Sur-Mer was quickly substituted. All in all a good recovery. Some grumbles but I think most were satisfied that Regent had made incredible efforts to salvage the situation.

Great Trip

| Miami through the Amazon
The room was beautiful, however, I think ottomans should be added to the chairs to be able to put your feet up after a long day of walking. The carpet needed to be changed.

23 night South America/Amazon Cruise

| South America/Amazon River
The Amazon River is a must see. Being able to do it aboard Regent Seven Seas makes it that much more incredible. The Pool Grill is still a favorite place for lunch.

Alaska roundtrip Vancouver on Seven Seas Mariner

| Alaska
I would highly recommend a Regent cruise to Alaska…the staff, the ship, the food, the entertainment, were all wonderful. We did all the normal stops for Alaska…Ketchikan, Skagway, Sitca, Juneau, victoria falls and Vancouver. The excursions provided through Regent were really good and the food on the ship was wonderful.

Another wonderful cruise

| Italy, Greece, Turkey
Mariner offers a truly first class cruise experience for singles and couples traveling alone as well as families exploring the world together. The wide variety of 'free' tours is enough to keep 95% of cruisers happy. The food quality is as good as any afloat in either of the dining rooms. We really enjoyed dining outdoors every evening (with good weather). PH 830 has a pole next to the bed so you need to be smaller in size on the right side of the bed. PH are very spacious. Internet package was competitively priced and service was good onboard. The evening entertainment was sufficient although lacking much in the way of dancing. Poolside was great with plenty of shade. We loved that there policy was little to no onboard announcements or trying to sell you photos as you left the ship at each dock - great feeling of not being 'marketed to' while on vacation although they had a well informed cruise consultant to help with future cruise bookings. Lorraine, the Cruise Director is brilliant!

Italian Discovery Cruise sailed July 19, 2015

| Italy
10 night sailing to terrific ports of calls. This sailing offered many small unusual ports with a good variety of shore excursions in each port. The ship was the perfect size. The staff onboard was exceptional and the food was outstanding.

Circumnavigation of Australia

| Circumnavigate Australia
Overall the trip was great, as explained in cons section, excursions explanations could be more detailed. Overall the staff was the best we have had on any cruise. Food was fantastic!

Signature Travel Hostess

| Alaska
Looks nice

A remarkable experience to be shared

| Anchorage, Seward, Sitka, Junueau, Skagway, Ketchican, Vancouver
We were blessed with great weather so it made the trip even more special.

Classy and elegant

| Alaska
The ship is what made the cruise, given that one port was cancelled (too windy for tenders), and that many, many excursions had to be cancelled due to an “atmospheric river” of rain. The service onboard was exemplary . The cabins functioned beautifully. Chartreuse was the best restaurant by far, simply divine. Entertainment is mediocre. The girls are wonderful but the guys are weak. That being said, it was still fun. I’d take this ship to other locations, but I don’t think I’d repeat Alaska, as you have no idea what kind of trip you will have since the weather is unknowable in advance. The first comment our friends would say is that they missed the Incline railway and the seaplane, which were actually the two things we were most looking forward to. All cancelled. Another example - the ship in the time slot before us couldn’t see Hubbard Glacier due to the fog. We were lucky, but the ship right after us had the fog closing in again. It’s a lot if $$ to spend for a bunch of maybes. I would have liked to give 4and a half starts.

Brazil and Beyond - Up the Amazon

| Brazil and Beyond
Our cruise departed from Rio de Janeiro and sailed up the coast of Brazil with stops in Salvador da Bahia, and several ports on the Amazon River. After leaving the Amazon (very very interesting), we also stopped in Barbados, St. Barths and San Juan, P. R., on the way to final destination, Miami. While the ship is due to go into drydock in April 2014, it did not seem worn at all, except maybe needing new carpets in some areas! It's a lovely ship holding about 700 passengers, with plenty of outdoor space, including all balconies in the suites. Favorite features were all-inclusive pricing, very nice guest launderettes, very friendly and accommodating staff, super cruise directors, terrific food. The included tours are very high quality, with over-the-top tours extra cost. The included wine and spirits very good quality - name brands, and unstinting quantities. Special requests accommodated with a can-do attitude. Beds are awesome, with high-end linens - slept beautifully. The entertainment is generally excellent, as were the speakers at the enrichment lectures (two every sea day).

Mariner Seven Seas Alaska Sept 2019

| Alaska
When I first walked on the ship I thought "how beautiful and friendly. The mariner made me fell welcome by its size alone. It was like walking into a friends home and I knew I would be comfortable and find my way around easily. It was not that "overwhelming" feeling you sometimes get. Our cabin was the deluxe suite C2. It was a wonderful cabin! Great size closet and the waterfall shower heads was a marvelous touch. We were pleased with our cabins. The food wherever I ate was amazing! The breakfast buffet in La Veranda was clean and plentiful. You could choose from pre-made eggs and sausage to ordering eggs benedict or omelets delivered to your table. The Compass Rose dining room had open seating for all 3 meals and was a wonderful experience. We never had to wait for seating. The waiters, beverage servers and everyone was very friendly, pleasant and service oriented. After diner every evening they brought a tray of petite deserts to have while you waited for desert! The specialty restaurants were excellent. We tried all 3 and it was a pleasant break from the main ding, but quite honestly, it's hard to beat the food in the Compass Rose main dining room. I was not real excited about the entertainment on this ship. It was bad, it just wasn't as good as some. It was just "ok". Our itinerary was disrupted by the weather so we missed Sitka and Hubbard Glacier so that was disappointing but weather can happen. The disembarking with Regent was very smooth and fast.

Seven Seas Mariner cruise from Miami to Lima

| South America (& Caribbean)
We had a wonderful time on our cruise aboard the Mariner from Miami to Lima in November of 2019. We were last on the ship in February of 2018 before it went into dry-dock for refurbishment, and the ship is beautiful. the staterooms are spacious, the beds are incredibly comfortable, both the shower and closet are spacious and the food on board was exceptional. The one area where I think Regent can improve is with the singers that are on-board. Featured entertainment was great, including an Irish comedian, a broadway actress/singer and the cast of the main shows. The lounge singers, however, left a little to be desired. As for the itinerary, we missed our 1st port of call in Jamaica due to a technical issue the ship was having with one of their Azipods. We visited Curacao and Aruba in the Caribbean and enjoyed both of our catamaran excursions and got to do some amazing snorkeling, including one over a sunken ship from World War II. We then went to Columbia, and while our visit to Cartegena was nice, the stop at Santa Marta was our least favorite port on the itinerary. There wasn't a lot to see and do there, and many guests on board were complaining about their excursions in Santa Marta. We then visited two places in Equador (Manta & Guayaquill) and enjoyed them both. We then went to Trujillo, Peru before ending our cruise in Lima. We thoroughly enjoyed both days we spent exploring Lima and the many attractions it has to offer. I always enjoy my time an any Regent ship, and this cruise was certainly no exception. I always recommend Regent to everyone, as it truly is a wonderful luxury cruise experience.

with eleven people in our party, ages 10 to 84, I kept waiting for a melt down. It never happened. The fabulous crew met everyone's needs. our fabulous butler, Immanuel, seemed to appear just when we needed something. This was our third and best Regent cruise. Many thanks!!
