Regent Seven Seas Cruises

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.

The new ship is just simply beautiful with added dining and boutique space. We love it and will try to get back on it.

A wonderful addition to Regent's line.

Beautiful new ship with dynamite restaurants. Crew somewhat uneven in experience and some new ship hardware problems in rooms which are over-furninshed, but high tech(maybe overly for age group of passengers).overallaexperience quite good.

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.

Everything was fabulous. From the service, food, excursions, spa, entertainment, staff & suite, everything was first class. We enjoyed every moment of our fabulous voyage.

Felicidades Francis, excelente servicio, fuimos muy felices

The Seven Seas was beautiful. The service was inpeccable. The food was great and offered anything you might want. The excursions were good and the leaders were knowledgeable . The entertainment was pretty good. Better than Oceanias.

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.

The Explorer was absolutely beautiful. Our suite, a penthouse suite was perfectly suited for our needs. The service and food on the ship were outstanding.

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.

Always first class. New ship cabins excellent. Food and entertainment first class. Ports of call not great. Golfito should never see a first class cruise ship again

After taking a good number of trips on Oceania, it was interesting to compare them with my first trip on Regent. There were only a few things I liked better on Oceania, and many more that I liked better on Regent. It is a first class ship that offered a memorable trip.

Every minute of every day was great. Maybe needs more tweaking of new employees when they arrive on board (pool area for towels and drinks). Some employees have trouble speaking English. On the whole they try hard.

It is a wonderful ship staffed with a very friendly crew full of smiles. I have been traveling for 47 years and never have a better trip. Henya Lish-Gebeloff is a wonderful travel agent also.

This newest of the Regent fleet was superb. The food was great and the service as well. We would make an effort to take our next cruise on this same ship.

Enjoyed each and every day.

the explorer is a beautiful new ship. there were a few glitches in our stateroom with the bathroom and water closet doors. the shower was unnecessarily complicated, but my husband figured it out. there was, i felt, wasted space in our stateroom by dividing the bedroom and living area, neither space felt roomy.

We will be sailing on the Explorer for the first time this summer for our first Baltic experience! We depart London on July 25, 2017.

Great ship first class.

Regent is our favorite and preferred cruise line. We were excited about seeing the new ship and we were definitely not disappointed. The new menu options are outstanding. Hopefully, these options will be offered on other Regent ships. Our Butler on this cruise was outstanding. He made our cruise quite special.

Terrific experience

Relaxing and fun. Everything you would want on a cruise. The service and amenities are above expectations.

It was great. Our Concierge cabin was amazingly well designed and extremely comfortable. The ship was gorgeous and also well designed. And the crew were so pleasant and helpful. I would take that ship again in a minute!

The ship was gorgeous and our cabin was roomy, extremely well designed and comfortable. The crew were helpful and very pleasant, always greeting us, often by name. The design and decorations were amazing. And the food was plentiful and menus at all meals were different every day.

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.

Outstanding ship -- with top notch staff, gorgeous décor, elegant meals and grand entertainment. Every part of the trip was memorable and we hope to take another cruise on the Explorer.

Wonderful. Everything was wonderful! The ship, our cabin, the food, the service, the Shows especially the Show including the ships personnel. The passengers. Made many new acquaintances and several new friends. Even won a Regent hat playing Trivia.

Great ship, Great service, Beautiful ship. Love artful travelers

Great ship. had a exceptional time and the service was outstanding.

We have sailed on the voyager 3 times, going on Mediterranean ,Black Sea and more that I cannot recall. We loved the voyager, The Explorer does live up to its name, THE MOST LUXURIOUS SHIP EVER BUILT, and we look forward to sailing her again in the future. The decor, the technology is stunning esp restroom doors that open and close electronically. From outside she is one elegant, sleek ship.

Fabulous ship in every way. We loved it.

Vsery pleasant even when the weaather did know always cooperate.

Beautiflully done decor. excellent dining venues and exceptional staff

Terrific ship with great amenities, great service, great food. Loved every moment.

10 day to somewhere from miami. every minute was beautiful, well thought out….from the decor to our room, everything was decorated with taste and class. stayed in room and watched movies. restaurants were great. hosts were great. towels were great. everything was top notch.. def will go on this ship again/

Best ship ever!

Great food, cabin, staff, very luxurious, best cruise ship ever!

This is the most beautiful ship we have ever been on. And the food and service were always top notch. Looking forward to our next cruise on Regent.

The Explorer is a new ship, very luxurious with a level of service that is outstanding. That said, I would not attempt another ocean crossing on the Explorer. With higher seas the ship seemed to be susceptible to a strange intermittent vibration that would wake you up in the middle of the night.

regent is my preferred cruise line and until the explorer came along, the voyager was my favorite cruise ship. the beauty & richness of the explorer blew me away. the staff is just as friendly & efficient as the other regent ships i have cruised on. regent does everything right and i do not have a single complaint. this was my first cruise alone & i appreciate that regent has a solo traveler program which offers many opportunities to meet other solo travelers. i also appreciate the "share" table option in all restaurants. it's a nice way to meet new people. the lectures and cooking demonstrations were great. but it was the culinary arts kitchen that made this trip unique. i participated in 2 of the offered classes and enjoyed cooking at sea. the evening entertainment was outstanding. john barron was the best cruise director i have ever experienced. the ship itself is a work of art and i spent much of my time exploring the ship & its beautiful art work.

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.

Everything comes together on the Explorer. It was good to see many old faces among the staff that were recruited from other Regent ships. They were the best!

A well run ship with excellent crew members. The food quality and service was top notch as well. The cruise itinerary was interesting and the daily excursions were also well organized. The service provided on these day trips was excellent. I recommend this cruise line.

We had the best cruise ever. The ship is the most beautiful of the more than 25 I have sailed on and the service was impeccable and the food beyond delicious.. The suites are beautiful and the entire ship experience was fabulous

It was so relaxing and special. We were celebrating our 43rd wedding anniversary & it could not of been more special. With the Chhampagne, Flowers and candy, whaT could be better.

The ship was beautiful. Our suite (explorer suite) was very nice and spacious, with separate living area, bar, and 2nd half bath. The food and bars were excellent, as was the cooking school. The average age of traveler was probably 15-20 years older than us (we are 49), which slowed the pace of some excursions, but this wasn't a major issue if you chose the more active excursions, or explored on your own. Overall a very good experience.

Excellent. All inclusive

The Voyager was fabulous. It is more luxurious then all the other Regent cruise ships but personnel are trained to Regent standards. You have a little more variety with food choices in that they offer more types of Restaurants. Everything else works just like other Regent cruise.

The service and food aboard Explorer are nothing short of fabulous. Likewise the physical accommodations. The excursions, however, pale by comparison to river cruises.

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.

Wonderful suite with spacious rain shower and generous balcony. Food was very good. The elite steak restaurant was excellent--disappointed that we could only eat there one evening during the trip. Fantastic excursions. it would be nice if there were updated communications when additional excursions were made available

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.

From the beautiful ship to the amazing staff (and on board entertainment) and the great tours, this was one special cruise. We are not regular cruise goers, so this was a special and memorable 60th birthday gift from my wife. Great value. Thanks for all.

Excellent--ship is gorgeous, suites are wonderful and the service was terrific. Would definitely book again.

top of the line cruise ship. beautifully appointed, lovely amenities and conscientious, caring, client focused staff. would love to travel on this ship again.

The Explorer is an elegant ship. I highly recommend it! It is more expensive, but well worth it. The crew could not be friendlier. The food and wine are excellent and the excursions that are included are varied enough for all types of travelers.

The ship was wonderful.

We really enjoyed this ship and itinerary. the cabin was very nicely appointed and seemed larger than most. the service was exceptional.

a delightful experience

It was fantastic. Only issue was when we left the ship in Copenhagen. We were told to get a van vs. a taxi because we had 4 people. The price was 449. It was not clear if that was $ or Korean. We had no idea it was only a ten minute ride and that it was $. The van never even showed up for us and the shore company finally got us a ride. Regency should never suggest a van at that cost for a ten minute ride. We tried to get a refund and change our mode. We were told no even though the company never showed to take us. We want a refund!!. Pete Landt

food and service very good

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.

It was good. Food was delicious. We met some very nice people. We were disappointed not to be able to take our Virtuoso tour of Cobb Ireland. I wish I had gotten us a larger cabin.

This almost new ship is spectacular. The rooms are large compared to other ships and everything is kept in top condition.

We especially enjoyed the variety of restaurants, the Library, the lectures and Crew Capers. The tender staff were most helpful. Lovely ship and great restaurant staff. However, the back row seating in the theater needs to be redesigned.

I thoroughly enjoyed my recent double segment cruise of the Baltic countries. The service on this ship is excellent as I would say for ALL the Regent ships. My only negative comments are possibly with what I would title a little overkill! I mean we are going on an all inclusive luxury cruise ship - why does it have to have the look and feel of a meeting room in Buckingham Palace????? Little too much - with a lot of wasted space!

We have nothing at all to complain about! Our cruise was great and the ship is absolutely gorgeous in every way. This time, we finally reached Platinum Status and got free laundry. What a perk that was! Regent is tge best!

We had to cancel due to illness

Good! All was good!

Fabulous...and it's the crew and staff that make trips aboard Regent ships above par!

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.

Everything we did onboard was fantastic!! The ship is beautiful and the food in every venue was outstanding! Our suite was on deck 14 and was beautifully appointed and the bathroom was out of this world. They thought of everything to make your stay more enjoyable. Our butler, Snedal, took care of every need and want and was so pleasant!! All of the staff was very friendly and always wanting to help. The shore excursions in which we participated were all well done and enjoyable! We loved our experience on the Explorer!!!! Looking forward to our next voyage!!!!

Exceptional ship. Excellent food attracts people generally 50 or over. Only negative is that some passengers who are in wheelchairs take excursions they are suggested not to and regent transports wheelchairs thereby negatively impacting rest of shore excursion passengers

The SS Explorer is exceptional! We were more then pleased with the beauty of the ship, the staff, the food, our cabin, the shore excursions and etc. etc. Regent is a fantastic cruise line and they out did themselves on the beautiful ship!

Everything was perfect thanks

Very good. Excellent ship and great food.

The entire crew was very responsive. The ship was luxurious and well appointed. The only concern we had was our stewardess was not well trained for her job.

The ship is absolutely beautiful, very elegant. As always with Regent the service and food is top notch.we enjoyed it a lot.

The Explorer was beautiful, the crew outstanding and our butler, room attendant and steward were first class! The route and tours were great, as was the weather!

Our time aboard was fine. The Explorer is a beautiful ship but being only one year old you could already see some wear and tear. Our cabin was very comfortable and roomy. Loved the double sinks, walk in closet, large balcony, and room layout (bed facing water). The staff on board was helpful and friendly.

Ship was definitely a 5-star---elegant decor, excellent dining venues, efficient and courteous staff and good price/value.

Everything was great except Grosvenor house was terrible Would prefer to have assigned table in dining room

Beautiful ship with great rooms. Theater needs improvement as it's hard to see stage on second level. Restaurant and food very good.

Had no negative experience. Everything was amazing. The meals in the dining room were equal to the specialty restaurants. All the staff were warm and caring. We loved the hotel Regent sent us to in Barcelona!

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.

The best ship service food excursions ever!!!!!! Bravo Regent!!!

I LOVE the whole Regent Cruise line, but the SS Explorer has to be the best ship on the water. The food is amazing, all the restaurants were equally good. The rooms are spacious and beautiful. I give the ship *****!

Wonderful ship, great service, food was excellent, and cabin was roomy and comfortable.

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!

Ship is beautiful and we certainly enjoyed it

The ship and crew were wonderful. We were with people who have been on cruises many times and the Regent Seven Seas Explorer was the best they have ever been on. Beautiful ship run with precision and a highly trained crew. Looking forward to our next trip with Regent.

This is cruising at its very best. The service is outstanding and the suites are fantastic. The food is Michelin’s star worthy. Could not ask for more.

Excellent as always

One of the best cruises ever. The description of the Explorer as the most luxurious cruise ship ever proved to be absolutely true. Great crew as usual on Regent ship! Can hardly wait for our next.

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.

First time on Regent. Our previous experience on cruise lines was Seabourn and SilverSeas. We were very impressed with the Explorer in terms of the design and overall experience. Equal to and in some cases better than our past experience on other lines.

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.

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.

Fabulous ship, fabulous service, We loved the food, the service and everything about it.

Beautiful ship, staff goes above and beyond.

Most comfortable. The suite and veranda were first rate; the best we have enjoyed in 32 cruises. Most meals were superb, with the exception of breakfast, where only a limited selection was available and the coffee was weak. The ship was clean and well appointed and the staff was very attentive. Tours were well organized.

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.

Excellent, beautiful ship, good food, wonderful service

fabulous cruise ship in all categories, food, design,culinary classes,stateroom etc

We have totally loved the 2 times we have cruised on the Explorer. The beauty of the details in the ship is truly beyond belief from the golden circular stairway that welcomes you on board to the Versace place settings in the Compass Rose dining room. 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.

Imagine that you checked into your favorite 5-start hotel,and had first class entertainment and access to five world class restaurants with fabulous service and no drink tabs or restaurant upgrade charges. The decor is awesome. Our suite was perfect; plenty of drawers and closet space with an ample bathroom with double sinks, bath and shower. The bed was like a cloud. We slept soundly every night -- even crossing the Atlantic.

Fabulous!!! The ship was wonderful and the crew outstanding. Everything first class.

Very enjoyable, interesting and exciting

This ship is fantastic, the decor, the Grande Suite is truly grand, the staff is top notch, and professional, spa beautiful , the food delicious...every experience was luxurious and relaxing...BUT, the day we disembarked in Miami was pure bedlam....there was no organization, everyone was pushing, shoving and seemed to be getting off at the same time..they do need to re-evaluate this process, it made a very relaxing cruise into a stressful one.

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.

Continuing on Miami to Miami meeting wonderful folks and staff making Regent so special!

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.

Very good. Beautiful ship with excellent service.

On the third day of our cruise to the Lesser Antilles I needed medical assistance due to lower abdominal pains. The doctor organized my emergency transfer to the local hospital in St. Kitts were I underwent a appendectomy. Medical support as well as the assistance on the ship was very helpful. The agent in St. Kitts much less...

The new Explorer Regent ship was absolutely beautiful. The cabin was very roomy and well appointed. The staff were very attentive. Great experience!

The ship is fabulous in all respects, nice restaurant selections and love the fitness center. This was our second voyage on the ship.

The ship was lovely, the stateroom quite comfortable and had 2 sinks, a tub and separate shower. Nice size. The food was very good. The restaurants were all different and the service was quite good The shows by the crew dancers & singers were lots of fun. The violinists were fine, fun to see. Other entertainment could have been better. Had spa treatments and they were great. The weather did not cooperate, rain 8 out of 10 days. We enjoyed the trip

A very pleasant trip.

Wonderfully quiet and smooth ship. Never felt crowded even at the pool. We were somewhat disappointed with the specialty restaurants especially with the French one. My lobster dish was very dry and almost inedible. The Asian restaurant was the best of the three. The suite facilities were enjoyable.

Wonderful. Had many new improvements.

We love everything about the Explorer. Our suite was spacious with heavenly beds. All the restaurants offer unique dining options in beautifully designed interiors. The staff is always anticipating our needs and filling our every wish. The cooking classes are extraordinary even for very experienced cooks and foodies like ourselves. 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!

Could not have been better in any category.

The ship is truly the most luxurious in the business.

We had to cancel this cruise because of lllness. We are lucky that we had the proper insurance. Thanks, Tammy

Great trip but we were shocked that when we arrived and were told that the third person in our room was going to sleep on an inflatable mattress on the floor. We went crazy. We did not book a camping trip. It took a few hours for cabin steward and butler to get management approval to move a another bed into our room. The problem was solved but there were a few anxious hours waiting. He bed was pushed in a awkwardly in a corner but at least it was functional.

superb 700 people and they new everyones name

We enjoyed each day. The ship is outstandingly beautiful. Matress and pillows comfortable. Food excellent in quality and presentation. Nice to have five different restaurants available from which to choose. Staff helpful and pleasant. Talent very good--especially the staff shows of David Nevin and Andy & Tammy Heath. Enjoyed "Paradis" very much. Excellent orchestra and the lounge music of Boggie and Kasia. Ship's doctor very caring--needed him for a bronchial infection that happened aboard ship on our second leg of 10 days.

Beautiful ship to sail on. The staff was very attentive to our individual needs. The food and wine selections were excellent. The culinary classes are a great feature on this ship.

The best experience. Extremely comfortable.

We sailed on the maiden voyage of the Explorer and in the year and a half since then the ship and crew has matured beautifully. The crew was most professional and everyone went out of their way to provide the best experience. The seas were calm, temperature pleasant, food in every venue was superior, and land activities were enjoyable. Regent has done a great job.

It was a beautiful ship with excellent crew. However, I prefer either the Mariner or Voyager.

Excellent Ship . Wonderful , able , effective crew , top to botom

The Seven Seas Explorer was the most beautiful ship we have ever experienced. The décor, restaurants, service, evening shows, lounges, library, and especially our suite were even better than we expected. As on all Regent cruises, there is always someone pleasant, friendly, courteous, and efficient ready to fill your EVERY request. We cannot imagine using any other cruise line. From the moment we left our home to the time we returned, we felt like we were someone very special!

Ship was beautiful; meals were great. Top notch all the way

TERRIFIC. BEAUTIFUL SHIP, GREAT SERVICE , GOOD FOOD

The cruise was Miami to Miami via a number of islands including St Lucia Nevis, Antigua et al. The Ship was beautiful great food with good service. The shows were outstanding I would cruise again with Regent,but on a crossing only since it still is a large ship and requires large ports to dock Unfortunately so do the 5000 passenger ships!! Generally a very enjoyable experience

Excellent. The ship is beautiful and the change in the design of cabins ( suites) is very enjoyable. The quality of the ship is outstanding. The food and menus are marvelous. It is really a 6 star cruise ship/

We could not have asked for better service.

The new ship is beautiful and the crew were all very sweet. Our butler especially went over and above the call of duty. (We were in suite 742 but I don’t remember his name). The food was ok but could use more fresh vegetables. Also in the main dining area at lunch and breakfast the waitressing needs to be more organized into areas. Over all a pleasant cruise.

Outstanding experience overall, especially in the areas of cuisine, service, and quality of the ship's decor. Far less enthusiastic with the "all included" Shore Excursions. Much to be desired in this area.

Fabulous! The amenities on The Explorer are beautiful. It was our second cruise on this ship. The crew and staff live up to the 6 star service that Regent touts. The weather forced some change in the itinerary, but we appreciated the safety first planning of the Captain. The inclusive excursions that we experienced were all wonderful, giving us an opportunity to learn so much about the beauty, culture and history of the ports of call.

Great ship for a cruise

The ship was very nice; the suites were larger than expected with free laundry service. The specialty restaurants were very good with good service.

Outstanding food and service. Staff was friendly. some ports of call were disappointing. Local guide in Malta steered us to a jewelry store that she obviously got a kick back, thus we had less time for more interesting things. Regency Should really screen this type of guide driven sales from their excursions. I felt like I was on a Princess ship in Alaska where we were steered toward their stores.

very enjoyable and relaxing helped by having the same butler we had on our explorer cruise last year
