Maiden voyage of Explorer
By: Joseph & Mary
Reviewed on: 09 Aug 2016
The Explorer is a beautiful ship and we were glad to share the maiden voyage knowing that it couldn't possibly live up to all the hype over the past year and a half. First the positive. The food and service was the best and exceeded every other cruise. The entire staff was equally professional and made everyone feel special.. The ports chosen were also most interesting and a photographers delight. The ship handled the voyage without a sound of engine noise Nor pitching. Now the negatives. The three water transfers were not worthy of such a grand ship. Enough said. There was no central elevator or staircase and the saying on the ship was "You can't get there from here." The shower was poorly built and on the first night Mary was unable to open the sliding door, and would have trapped. The second night a slab of marble fell and narrowly missed my foot. All in all it was a great trip and all the faults will be cured before future sailings, I hope.

She has been billed as the most luxurious ship afloat and she lives up to every word. The accommodations in the suites are outstanding as are the finishes and service in the public spaces. The Compass Rose restaurant is fantastic. We had only 2 complaints that we noted and are certain they will be quickly addressed. The service in the new Pacific Rim was not up to par and the main course in Chartreuse was also sub-par.

"Refined elegance" My name for Explorer
By: MJ
Reviewed on: 08 Dec 2016
I find the attention to detail given to outfitting Explorer to be only matched by the amazing diversity of that detail. Everything from the extensive use of elegant moldings in every conceivable--and a few unexpected--places, to the heated mirror in the bathroom which literally "ate" the steam off, to the really sleep-Inducing beds, to wonderful meals that make you want to sleep, to the beautiful floor treatments--especially the marble inlays, to the collection of vases and objet d'arte in the large area approaching the Compass Rose dining room, to the choice of color in the Chartreuse dining room. This ship is a worthy addition to the Regent fleet that we have previously thought was as good as it gets. What will the next Regent ship look like? I cannot imagine! But it's going to be something to be enjoyed.

We have sailed with Regent many times and are gold members. The ship was beautiful but the service and quality of the food has definitely declined. The entertainment was amature. There was only one lounge with early evening entertainment; I sing better. Made onboard arrangement early in the trip for an October sailing which we told Jeannie to cancel. Either they should go back to previous management or charge considerably less.

Not up to 6 star rating. Food stretched too far and low quality. Elevators getting stuck. TV's not working properly. Broken pool lounges.This is a new ship. These things should not be happening. Entertainment sub standard especially the lounge trio which was horrible. Food not prepared to high standards. Had to send back dishes. They seem to be trying to squeeze every dollar out of the cruise while sacrificing quality. For a new person on this line they might be impressed but we have been cruising for 16 years back when it was Radison. We have noticed the down hill trend. As far as the travel agent is concerned; no complaints.

The ship was beautiful and the food and service top of the line. The entertainment was also wonderful!
I would have preferred smaller group tours as all are tours consisted of several bus loads of people. Many times we only went to places that could accommodate large groups. You don't get to see the local living with these large group tours.
There were no bathrooms on the buses and public restrooms in China can be very dirty and not what we are used to.
I came down with a bad cold and cough and feel it could have been due to being in such unsanitary conditions.
I wish we had understood what the tour conditions would be as we would have booked more private tours and would have preferred not to be paying for "all inclusive" when we didn't enjoy them touring this way.

The cruise ship's full package was tremendous. The food was terrific (5 star), the service was impeccable, and the ship was like a 5 star resort. The ship treated everyone as a person as opposed to a cattle car. They also handled the transfers from the airports and the hotel very well. The only disappointing part was the pre-cruise hotel, the Hotel Meiia Sarria in Barcelona. The room was a beat up, the dining room service was VERY slow, and the hotel is miles from any thing worth visiting in Barcelona.

The ship was absolutely gorgeous from the crystal chandelier in the main common area to the Murano glass on the ceiling of the Compass Rose Restaurant. Although I didn't shop, my traveling friend enjoyed the shops greatly. I didn't catch all of the shows since I was too busy eating late and/or gambling. However, the ones that I caught were very good and quite entertaining. The dancers and singers were very good. I hate to be mean but I've been on other cruises where it was somewhat apparent as to why the performers were on a cruise ship. On the Explorer, the dancers and singers were of Broadway caliber. The port excursions were quite diverse and very well administered by the excursion desk. I had late minute changes and they were quite helpful in getting me on the tours that I wanted.

We had a good time. We were surprised to see children on board. We liked the new menu format in Compass Rose, and our meals were excellent. Chartreuse and Pacific Rim were very good, although the service during our second visit to Chartreuse was very poor. Prime 7 had problems with service and food the night we were there. The design of The Verandah was definitely an improvement, and the food was very good. We found the wines poured were very good, and even discovered a couple of our favorites. Entertainment was good and John Barron, the cruise director, was excellent. Shore excursion time changes caused some inconvenience. The crew was in all instances excellent. From a personal perspective we didn't care for the extremely modern, and sometimes odd, artwork. We found the shops to have very expensive stock with nothing mid-range as on other Regent ships, particularly in the jewelry. We would recommend the ship, but would be happy on the other ships depending on itinerary.

The ship was beautiful and kept very clean. We found the ship cabin to be very comfortable, especially the large walk-in closet and 2 sinks in the bathroom. The food was very good, but not the top-rated cuisine I had expected. The main dining food was very good, but didn't compare to top restaurants. We really enjoyed Pacific Rim and were lucky enough to be able to eat there for a second time. Their food and service were excellent. Prime was very good, but their filet was not comparable to fine steak restaurants we normally eat at and the crab legs that came with the surf and turf were not impressive, we should have had the lobster tail as it looked excellent served to a nearby table. We didn't care for the food at Chartreuse and we thought their service was poor...they were not friendly at all (at lunch or dinner) which really surprised us. Walking the ship, we rarely saw people! No lines anywhere, including buffet lines or bars. Easy on/off at port with no lines either.

We loved our cabin on the explorer. The service was exemplary and always with a smile.
However the ship creaked in our rooms whenever we were moving.
The tour quality was very uneven. Some of the guides were terrible.
The explanations of the tours given on TV were barely understandable due to a thick accent.
The food was good but not as good as on Oceania. They lacked presentation of menu items representing foods of the regions we were traveling to. For example, Iceland is known for its Salmon and lamb. Instead we had New Zealand Lamb and only once were offered Norwegian Salmon
Not enough days at sea to enjoy the facilities on the ship or just relax.

We enjoyed the Regent Explorer very much. We have been on every ship in the fleet, starting with the Song of Flower 25 years ago. The Explorer is by far the most beautifully decorated even though some of the art work was a bit strange for my taste. The restaurants were excellent but very noisy as were most of the cocktail bars. The Compass Rose could have held it's own in Las Vegas, and I missed the quiet elegance of other Compass Rose dining rooms. The staff always seemed to be running at breakneck speed. I missed not having little chats with waiters, cabin stewards, etc. The speaker was awful. He might have known his material, but his two favorite words were "mm" and "uh". I had never been turned away from La Veranda (Setti Mara) at dinner time before. But it happened twice. Maybe reservations need to be introduced. I also think that water should be provided on long bus trips. I was shocked to be told that we could buy water if needed. Sometimes, change is NOT good.

First time on the Explorer...I have always been on the Mariner. The ship was very nice and it was a great cruise. My niece joined me half way thru the cruise. However the port she was suppose to board on,we could not go to because of weather. However, my agent was able to contact her and rebooked her flight out of Paris so she was able to fly there direct and get on the ship.

Amazing Ship and Cruise Line!
By: Globetrotter
Reviewed on: 04 Nov 2017
Seven Seas Explorer is advertised as 6 star luxury and it truly stands up to this expectation! The ship has everything anyone could ever want, yet it caters to just 750 passengers! The service was absolutely amazing and thanks to the low passenger to crew ratio, we got to know the crew over the course of the cruise. The restaurants were fantastic and the shore excursions fascinating. Our suite was gorgeous and the views from our 14th deck balcony were incredible. Each and every crew member made sure we had a wonderful experience - and they succeeded magnificently! One of our favorite activities was learning how to make fresh pasta with Chef Kelly in the amazing Culinary Arts Kitchen! And the view from the kitchen - absolutely amazing! We are looking forward to our next cruise with Regent!

Recommend with caveats
By: Traveler
Reviewed on: 30 Oct 2017
Gorgeous ship, engaged crew, good food. If the itinerary intrigues you and can't be found elsewhere, go for it. The main problem is communication. The website frustrates, and Regent info is contradictory and lacks details. Ex.: You'll be met at the airport (where?) and taken by motor coach to the hotel (motor coach, in Venice?). You may use your ship credit in the casino (no, you can't). When changing planes in Paris on the way home, you need not go through immigration (yes, you do). At Regent's direction we waited for 30 minutes for disembarkation instructions, until I asked and learned our group had been free to go all along. Other issues: local guides were good to outstanding, but only one had headsets, and on a couple of excursions it was very hard to hear. And a 1-hour layover in Paris was unrealistic. If we hadn't hired a meet-and-greet service, we'd have missed our connection. The upshot? "God is in the details," and at this price point I doubt I'd opt for Regent again.

Ship/Regent Review
By: Libby
Reviewed on: 30 Oct 2017
My review is mixed. Although the ship was lovely (room accommodations, restaurants, staff's desire to satisfy requests, and other amenities), there were numerous missteps along the way regarding "communications." First of all, the Regent website is in dire need of upgrading and fixing the many glitches one encounters. This is important since you make various reservations through the website, and then are forced to phone them to correct or even make a reservation. The firm's claim that business class air fare is included in the pricing is misleading if you choose to stay extra days (not on one of its excursions). We were forced to buy an extra business class ticket for the flight home. Unfortunately, the "free wifi" on the ship was essentially nonexistent as you could not connect to it easily. Finally, Regent is very parsimonious in relating information regarding embarking, disembarking, tours, etc. And, in fact, gives out incorrect information on some important issues.

First Time Traveller with Regent
By: Peggy
Reviewed on: 07 Nov 2017
I had mixed feelings about Regent Seven Seas. Some things were outstanding (layout of ship and on board activities, restaurants, staff) but other things were rather disappointing. Several of the excursions were extremely challenging to hear the guide either because of them being soft spoken or heavily accented but mainly because the vast majority of the tours didn't include the option for headsets. This would be such an easy fix that I was shocked at the amount of complaints which could have been eliminated. Also, some of the "shopping" opportunities were horrendous - really cheesy touristy overpriced venues which were included in the tours. Really surprised at some of these and would endeavor to make sure that future excursions didn't include that as it was a waste of valuable touring time.

We don't believe you can find a cruise ship with better service and food anywhere. Regent is the definition of of FIRST CLASS & ALL INCLUSIVE. They will do everything in their power to make sure you have a great cruise, including providing multiple excursions at each port. On our most recent cruise walking back to the ship my knee brace broke so I called the stewardess, who arrived quickly and took the brace down to the carpentry shop. I really didn't expect them to be able to fix it but it was repaired and delivered to me the next morning. All of the staff from stewards to waiters and many others do a good job of remembering our names and take VERY good care of us.

We have totally loved the 2 times we have cruised on the Explorer.

Chandeliers throughout the ship are works of art. The stage theater is well designed for all seats to have a good view of the excellent productions presented there. Top quality in beverages, meals, entertainment, activities and service is simply the norm. We LOVE this ship and the Regent cruise line.

Floating Resort

The ship was not a ship to me. I think more money was spent on decorations than on construction. I paid for a balcony suite but was not able to use the balcony. The door had to be taped each night due to wind leakage. The ship did not seem to handle rough seas as well as other ships.
In some areas it seemed as though they were disorganized. I am single (but paying for two), however, every morning Room Service would bring two cups for my morning coffee even though I told them every morning I was only one. I finally had to go to the Food and Beverage Manager to get this corrected. But I only got one chocolate every night.
Dining Room service was slow especially if the table was singles.
The card room was too small. We had to play in one of the restaurants.
I think that Regent is cutting back. There was no Christmas gift (even though fares for Holiday cruise are always more). Instead we were told that money was being donated to a charity that none of us had even heard about.

The check in process was totally unorganized. The stateroom and the ship itself was beautiful. Some ports were not really all that picturesque. The main restaurant has an issue with hot and cold food. It is not fun to eat lukewarm food when it is supposed to be hot. The wine service is very spotty. There are quite a few wines that are included with meals, but it is like “pulling teeth” to get them to present more than one. The disembarking process was also unorganized. There was an event on the gangway, but they would not let us stay in the room and there was no place to sit in the lobby. So, by the time they finally let us disembark, some passengers were running late...leads to rude behavior.

We always learn something new and our friends always look forward to sampling our new recipes on our return home. Our favorite time of the day is following the entertainment with a drink at the Meridian Lounge and listening to the incredible music of the band. Massages at the spa are incredible and the infinity pool takes you away to another realm of relaxation. Excursions were educational, but also provided for "on your own" time. Dancing the night away to the sound of the Beatles was a perfect last evening. We love the Explorer, having sailed on it twice, and can't imagine a more luxurious ship. We ARE Explorer!

Regent did ensure that a member of the ship's crew was on every tour bus to at least be helpful if something went awry.

I have sailed on the Explorer 4 times, 3 times this year. She is a great ship and has it all. An excellent guest to crew ratio, beautiful design & decorations, wonderful food and best of all a staff that bends over backwards to satisfy your wishes and desire.
Since I've been on the Explorer 3 times this year, I have had the opportunity to make good friends with a significant number of crew members (going up as high as the Captain). Some of the restaurant staff, including head mater'd, wait staff & lots of staff in the buffet restaurants, have greeted us with open arms & hugs. It is like returning to see family that you haven't seen for a while.
I strongly recommend Regent & Explorer. I am always excited wen I return for the next adventure.

Our cabin was not the way we usually traveled, although called a penthouse suite, it was just a regular cabin. Decent enough, but not what we expected. We found the food to be very below par.

This trip was a spectacular experience. Ambience aboard the ship was superb; enrichment, entertainment and dining all excellent. An absolutely gorgeous ship that just never feels even close to full!
The demographics were, as always, skewed a little older than I might have expected. Frankly, we enjoyed the time aboard the ship far more than on the included shore excursions, they being clearly the weakest part of the trip. Catalina Island is relatively boring and Cabo San Lucas was cancelled due to high winds, but Acapulco was quite nice. The Central American ports (Puerto Quetzal, Corinto and Puntarenas) were all along the hot, thinly populated west coast of the countries. As a result, our excursions all involved bus rides of a minimum of 2-3 hours in each direction.
Cartagena, Columbia was by far the most interesting shore destination, while Grand Cayman was extremely boring. No culture other than modern American semi-tropical.
But, the start attraction is the Canal itself!

Reviewed on: 22 Apr 2019
This was our first time sailing on the Explorer and we enjoyed our master suite it was well appointed. The deck was very large, but it was unfortunate that we could not enjoy sitting out on sea days. The temperature was a bit cool and windy, so we did not spend much time on the deck. The bedrooms were nice. But the bathrooms were somewhat of a disappointment the commode had no safety bar and there was one in the shower. The biggest complaint was the bathroom sink. Although there were 2, the shelf above the sinks stuck out far enough that washing your face and brushing your teeth somewhat problematic. Also, there was minimal space between the sink and the jacuzzi, so it was somewhat difficult when one of us tried to pass by. One of our biggest issues was the lack of 110V outlets. There was one in the bathroom and if you turned the bathroom light off the outlet went off. So much for charging your razor, tooth brush, etc. Of course, there was the grand player piano in the living room!

Who does that? There were others on the cruise who were equally disturbed by this slight and expressed the same sentiment. I had to pay $350 extra just to get s flight at a decent time.

We have sailed on Explorer previously; we knew how beautiful it is. Our choice of this cruise was for the ports in which it would stop--specifically 3 full days in St. Petersburg. A celebration of our 80th birthdays. We had a high level of anticipation, which hit a bump in the road--NOT caused by Regent. Lufthansa lost our luggage, for 6 days (of the 11 day cruise). Lufthansa's lack of concern for our situation was completely countered by Regent's wonderful actions. As we had only the clothes we wore on the flight, they provided overnight laundry service. That was for starters; they gave us a generous discount in their onboard store. As the time without our bags dragged on, they added a very nice gift to our onboard account. This was generosity unexpected, but gratefully received. Especially as our problem was all the fault of the airline, not at all Regent. The ship's staff were personally engaged in helping us. Special thanks to the Executive Concierge, Mr. Thay Barbosa.

This was our second cruise on this Regent ship and it did not disappoint. Can’t say enough about the crew, always greeting you with a smile and willing to help. And the food was excellent. No matter where we ate it was extraordinarily. We especially enjoyed the Prime7 resturant. The size of the ship is perfect too, only 375 cabins. Big enough to offer all the amenities you need but small enough to make getting on and off easy and not overwhelming the port with people. And the flights booked for us only had one connection on major airlines. Especially enjoyed business class.

If you are only going to sail once in your life, do it on the Explorer. Everything was exactly as advertised and as expected. The food was terrific, the staff was terrific, the room was terrific, the entertainment was terrific, all but one thing was terrific. The only thing not terrific was the wi-fi. A ship of this stature really needs to use a better internet service for its guests. It is my only complaint.

This was our 20th cruise. We've sailed on the 'big ships', the Queen Mary II, and 'average' ships. The SS Explorer just might be our favorite ship!..big enough to have all the amenities but small enough to feel more like a private yacht than a cruise ship. It never feels crowded in the restaurants, clubs, pool or public areas...we could ALWAYS find a seat exactly where we wanted to be. The staff is extremely gracious and eager to serve. We particularly liked evening dining in the 'hybrid' restaurant, Sette Mari, where dress was more casual but the beverage and entree were ordered and served but the salad bar and desert was buffet style...and probably 1/3 of the tables were along the floor to ceiling windows...and there was outside dining on the rear deck, too! The decor is somehow a step up from traditional 'cruise ship decor'. The master bath was exquisite with plenty of storage in all the right places. We've already booked another trip on the sister ship, Splendor.

Regent is by far the best cruise line I have been on.
By: Randyo
Reviewed on: 24 Oct 2019
Regent is expensive and it is well worth it as everything from food, liquor, and shore excursions are included at every stop. Regent ships capacity is 740-760 passengers which makes for a much more positive experience. you will NOT see a bunch of drunks or wild kids running around the ship. Service is comparable of what you would find at a 5 star resort or hotel and the food and wine are excellent. We have traveled enough on Regent that many staff members remember us and treat us like family. They also have travel experts on hand that make presentations on up coming shore excursions. It would be very hard to find another cruise line that comes close to competing with Regent. Also, since it is a smaller ship Regent can dock in many ports that the massive ships with thousands of people onboard can’t!

The cruise line and staff are amazing,
The only hitch is that as all the off shore excursions are included, you get crowds on all the tours, far too many people for a single guide, and far too many people over estimating their physical abilities. Most of the excursions were spent waiting for people to catch up and when they did, they didn’t listen to the tour guides, and complained that they didn’t know what they were looking at.
There also is a very obvious class system on the ship, the more you pay the better your treated. Need to tighten your practices at these prices......

All was extremely well organized and preceded by a lovely breakfast at the hotel. Four Seasons is a wonderful hotel.
Explorer is a beautiful ship, our suite was very spacious and comfortable our cabin stewards kept it looking immaculate.
The service in the restaurants was sometimes not the best, it felt like there were a lot of new staff not familiar with how things ran.
Had a few issues with food not being hot when served, but they were corrected fairly quickly.
Entertainment on board was well done and quite varied.

The Regent Explorer is a magnificent vessel. The crew is fabulous as is the ambience. We encountered bad weather for most of the cruise and the Captain did whatever he could to get us to a sheltered port in order to make us more comfortable. Unfortunately, these port changes disrupted our planned itinerary. Even the evening shows had to be postponed 2 or 3 times due to the rough seas. I took 2 cooking classes which were wonderful. One thing that was lacking were interesting lectures, especially on the days we were at sea. Otherwise traveling with Regent, and on the Explorer specifically, was an experience of a life time.

Did Not Meet Expectations
By: Phyzzle
Reviewed on: 08 Nov 2021
After much anticipation for our first RSS cruise, it did not meet our expectations. The ship was lovely, crew nice, food great, entertainment spectacular; however, the excursions were poorly handled and guests were treated like kindergarteners. Understanding their need to keep everyone safe was paramount, but reminding guests constantly to social distance and wash hands was excessive. Esp. when they put 200 people shoulder to shoulder on a sightseeing cruise where the only thing we saw of Cinque Terra was shoulders and heads until we docked for a walkaround. 2 1/2 hours of shoulder to shoulder negates focus on social distancing. Tours not completed due to those with limited mobility being put on all the tour groups led to shortened tours as steps and cobblestone streets couldn't be handled. They should have had a group for those with limited mobility -scooters, crutches, walkers, obesity, heart conditons, etc. which would have let the others do their complete tours.

The suites are large and the beds are the most comfortable ever. The food is absolutely delicious. The staff is great. They go out of their way to make you feel at home and always greet you with a smile. Regent meets all of your needs and is the only way to cruise!

The Explorer is a very elegant, beautiful ship with opulence everywhere. The lighting, furnishings, and finishes are very well done and remind me of old cruise ships back in the day. The dark wood and carpeting do give it a darker feel than some other ships but I liked it very much.

The ship is fabulous, the dining and, butler service exceptional, the excursion crew could work with customers better but we had the same issue on our last cruise pre Covid. Many excursions were canceled due to they did not have enough to sign up on one of ours. The first port was canceled , I found there were a lot of elderly including myself on the ship. Three people I saw personally fall due to age and health conditions. One excursion we went on would definitely not been recommended for a couple, it was bumpy roads and unstable conditions on a jon boat and wobbly swim platform. They stayed in the jon boat in the sun and did not look comfortable this should of been explained more by the excursion desk. I went to them myself about the trip and was not told it was a jon boat to the platform. Just to stand on the floating platform you had to be stable on your feet. The people that put on the excursion did a good job as best that was able for the area. Regent could be more explanatory

The Regent suite was a unique experience but the hospitality and friendliness of all the crew was amazing. It seemed that no effort would be spared in anticipating and then fulfilling the simplest and the most involved needs. It is that level of service that earns enduring loyalty and having sailed about fifteen times with Regent we see no need to change unless we run out of interesting and non-duplicated intineraries.

A Most Elegant Cruise Ship
By: Kathleen
Reviewed on: 29 Apr 2022
The Seven Seas Explorer was the most wonderful cruise ship I have experienced. It was beautiful in all details. We were greeted in our stateroom with Champagne and an Orchid. The ship was decorated in the most elegant style with blown glass light fixtures, beautiful carpets, and beautiful fresh flowers all over the ship. The china was an outstanding treat in every dining room. As a plant based eater, I was delighted with the wonderful selection of plant based dishes. They recognized that I had a special diet preference and sent me the menus each day for the various restaurants so that I could review what was available. No one was trying to sell you art work, photographs, or water, bottles. There was no additional charge for eating in the specialty restaurants, and the ship staff was equally outstanding in providing service. I would say the S. S. Explorer deserves a 10 plus rating.

This cruise ship is superb in every way. Jade organised a suite near the lift which I greatly appreciated. The food, wine and ambience couldn’t be faulted. As a solo passenger I was fortunate to be looked after by Clair, the Social Hostess with nightly cocktails with other solo passengers. I was particularly impressed by the 2 speakers in The Speaker Series discussing the history of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires in the various Greek Island we visited. A fabulous 34 day cruise.

Regent Sevens Seas Cruise Athens to Jerusalem
By: Julie
Reviewed on: 11 Jun 2022
The best part of our cruise was absolutely the food and staff. The ship was beautiful and the rooms very spacious. The theater entertainment was also very good.
The first encounter at the airport was just the beginning of how details are not their speciality. It took us awhile to find the person to take us to the hotel. The hotel location and ambience was just okay. Regent made arrangements for us to travel by bus to the cruise ship. Our scheduled time to board was totally ignored by the staff and they put us on the last bus which left at 12:50 pm. We had to be out of our room at 11:am and sit in the lobby. When we arrived at the port it took 2 hours before we reached the front of the line to get tested for Covid.
We had 3 tour cancellations and one day waited 1 1/2 hours for the bus. Another day the shuttle bus dropped people off at one location and the other buses used a different stop. People were stranded and had to get a taxi back.

If I had not been on one of their cruises/ships I would probably say it was wonderful. This time I felt there was a definite staff shortage. Our cabin had not been properly checked before we entered and although things were taken care of in a timely manner it was always someone different that knocked on our door.
I really never got to know the cabin staff. Last cruise we took the cabin staff were always visible, they actually became your friend. This time the only time I saw them was if I happened to pass by a cabin and they were doing turn down. Food was good but again not as good/fresh as our last cruise.

Everything related to the ship was flawless. All expectations were exceeded, especially the dining experience, which was nothing less than gourmet. The staff was courteous and always there for anything that was needed.
However, there is one major complaint regarding the excursions. The temperature was in the high nineties which was expected. But what wasn't expected was the lack of relief in the buses. We all begged the drivers to make it cooler without success. In Messina the driver stated that the air conditioning could not be turned on until we were moving. The temperature in the bus while we were waiting to leave was near 120 degrees. also some of the guides were difficult to understand

We had very high expectations and Regent did not disappoint! Our suite was huge, well appointed and very comfortable. The ship was well staffed and organized. We loved how active and informative the excursions were and highly recommend the small group option. We got to do twice as much as the regular groups and not a moment of waiting. But what made this cruise extraordinary was our Master level butler. He was so elegant, intelligent and thoughtful. His ability to anticipate our every need and whim was 100%. The only negative is it made the rest of our still very special vacation feel “normal” and coming down from the lifestyle of a billionaire was a transition.

Every aspect of Explorer affirms her self-proclaimed moniker - "The most luxurious ship afloat." She affords her passengers a 6-Star (out of 5) experience where the staff oozes hospitality & friendliness coupled (almost without exception) to an attitude suggesting a constant desire to exceed your expectations. Whether its
1. entertainment (over the top whether ship's company, Krew Kapers or guest entertainers),
2. food (Pacific Rim has a menu for which my response is "Okay!"),
3. suite comfort, cleanliness & amenities,
4. excursion options, and
5. special requests (our Butler, Binay, was remarkable!).
This was only our second Regent sailing, and we're "sold" on the line with four additional bookings (so far) to which we're anxiously looking forward!
