Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. The Canopy Hilton in city Centre is far superior to the Hilton Regent(Nordica?) often includes. Canopy is perfectly located for walking to great restaurants, Opera house, downtown, etc. We are taking the hotel credit and staying there in July on points, hotel pricey otherwise.
  2. Interesting that the name of the web site was blocked out! Started with sea. Ended with scanner. Hope that works.
  3. Regent website is not particularly user friendly to find all of the available suites in a specific category. We used to use *****.com to see what is available but now that website seemingly has changed to book suites vs. seeing what is available. Any suggestions for a website to see what the available inventory is? thanks in advance
  4. We will be on the Explorer for Christmas this year as well. We have sailed on Regent over the holidays for many years. The ship will be decorated beautifully with many trees decorated with different themes, gingerbread houses and last year there was a very creative competition between the various departments on the ship for best decoration. They did an incredible job. We also usually have a door decorating contest amongst the guests. As I recall, there has been more activity on Christmas Eve than on Christmas Day itself. Typically beautiful Carol singing at cocktail hour and a lovely dinner - well that happens every night. They do a lovely job. We would typically do a traditional dinner in Compass Rose both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Then like magic, the trees will all be changed shortly thereafter to a New Year’s theme. The party on New Year’s is fantastic. I am hoping it will be out on the deck as it was last year. A definite forever memory. Bottom line is, it will all be just lovely.
  5. Thanks Aloha 1. I see that you are from the Villages…we are heading there in a couple of days. Small world indeed.
  6. Ok a few questions, not earth shattering but I like to be prepared. Are there any nice French white wines being served on the Explorer at present? Chardonnay, Chablis, Sancerre? We have been on Mariner and Navigator in the last 6 months and were disappointed that there were little to no options on that front. Did that ruin our cruises, of course not but I sure would prefer those options…especially for a 73 night sojourn. Just wondering. Would also appreciate knowing who the senior staff onboard is at present, Captain, GM, CD, Head Sommelier, etc. Thanks and cheers!
  7. Chartreuse is my pick for my birthday this year. The beet salad and Dover sole are fantastic. Nice to have options!
  8. Not sure how many days you have left on your cruise but please ask for Mukesh’s section next time you dine in CR. He is outstanding and if Cyrel is still the sommelier working with him, you will be very happy campers. We too were on the Copenhagen to Amsterdam leg and were spoiled rotten in terms of service. Can’t understand why you are having issues but if you can, please try this section. Hope it works for you.
  9. Well we haven’t quite made it to Copenhagen yet, now in Riga, Latvia. Should get to Copenhagen late tonight. All reports of airport travails are true BUT our Air Tags show that luggage has made it to Riga after a cancelled flight from Munich to Copenhagen. So far so good on that front.
  10. So looking forward to this great itinerary and of course all of the Regent pampering….See you at the Pool Bar on Saturday! Pat and Marg.
