I’d like to hear comparisons from those who have regularly sailed regent ss and seabourn explora touts itself as a luxury line those 3 lines would be my benchmark I would really like to hear about enrichment and entertainment. I’m sure food is not a problem

Both awful we do our own on silversea as well and I don’t want to go on a “fairly decent” excursion

My 2 cents regent excursions are beyond awful we book our own

This thread might drive the crystal folks to jump overboard

please post photo when you do

I’m dripping in them nowhere to wear them in tucson. Lol

There are folks dressed to the nines on gala nights. But many in jeans and t shirts eating in the buffet. I’m sure the old timers are aghast lol all other nights are resort casual. Just like regent today I saw sport jackets at breakfast in queens grill. Lol

All sea days. Playing duplicate bridge every day. Fabulous entertainment. London symphony orchestra tonight. I’m not suffering!!!

My cruise friend stickman on board now and posting and also emailed me privately. He is a crystal regular and I totally trust his judgement. He is loving it im still glad I cancelled. My cruise was not until 2025. I’m taking a wait and see. My good friend Paul mco will be on next i need more feedback from people I know and trust

Omron is great brand. We also have large omron not for travel

We travel with a Panasonic travel Bp monitor. Accurate. Don’t buy one for the wrist. Not accurate.

According to my ta, no one need worry about refunds. Explora is well funded

Maybe the powers that be will take note. They need a wakeup call I sent the review to my TA who has great contacts at Explora

No one is complaining about being treated poorly. I think he will see through that

I'm just the messenger They think they are off to a great start Some things need "tweaking" They have not read cruise critic I think they are delusional My TA will be on early October I trust my TA completely Curious to hear what he has to say from firsthand experience.

He is scheduled. But he may have had a conference call with fellow agents who were on board - he told me one was scheduled. I am waiting to get a report. A whole bunch of TAs are now in Maui, helping with the cleanup. I am leaving for my next cruise tomorrow. I will try to get some feedback.

I am just astounded by the utter incompetence of the folks running this cruise line. Do a bad job, infuriate potential customers and raise prices. I don't think they teach this strategy in business school.

Mine took around 10 days

My TA was notified and was on top of everything when news first broke. But my TA is very "connected" and involved in lots of organizations that share information. It is rare when I can tell him something I learned on CC that he does not already know. He owns a huge on line agency. He was way ahead on the Crystal debacle but unfortunately too late to save me from losing tens of thousands of dollars.😪

The old ships are a dealbreaker for many Not for Crystal devotees Nice to have choices.

????

I told to send them to cruise critic

Good news my refund posted to my credit card!!!

I hope he is reading these boards If he doesn't fix the problems he will never fill those ships. "Incredibly positive feedback"- hilarious

There is a legendary story about Smirnoff vodka. It was ordinary vodka (actually all vodka is basically the same) but they priced it higher to make people think it was "better" and it flew off the shelves.
