I am actually on the regent in suit 700 as I type in key west . Whilst the suit is of a good standard and good size and of regent quality there is a huge, huge downside reference noise levels. doors underneath the suit to outside for next level opens and shuts continually because it is staff deck recreation and the deck men have to be out early ready for docking or anchoring including throughout the night so bangs continually so if sleep is what you want and staying in your cabin relaxing this is not for you. Also directly opposite the suit door is the laundry room where the staff have to go in so again up until 12 noon from 6 am and evenings the doors opening shutting are really annoying and then just to the right as you come of out of 700 another security door that staff and passers by have to open and shut early up until late. Addressing the subject of the balcony it is high and does not have glass in fairness to such comments they have addressed this by putting in place two high chairs like bar stools , which are ok but not that relaxing and I think some people would find very difficult to get onto. Lying down is out of the question on the very nice loungers and. Chairs as you can’t se anything and if sunny in port very hot. also very noisy when docking from thrusters and winches and anchor operation, this is an observation only for first time cruisers as people know this is the case at the bow and aft sections I also noted 800 and 900 suits have them same challenges. I would also address a wider challenge as I see it having been on the regent explorer and comparing quality of food good , but three times in separate restaurants the food was cold service in restaurants for me has fallen short and service around the pool very slow seemingly not enough people. overall staff excellent butler and stewardess and in common areas.would I cruise with regent yes, would I have cabin 700, 800, 900 absolutely not . hope this helps
