Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We didn't upgrade to spa balcony due to my partner being a very light sleeper. I thought the spa was ok not really impressed. We loved all of the outdoor spaces on this ship. Happy travels
  2. Trying to decide if bidding on spa balcony room worth it in regards to noise. Any advise or experience?
  3. Can anyone who has been in the spa balcony cabins on the Prima advise if there are noise issues from above?
  4. Can anyone suggest easiest way to transport from Dublin Port to Downtown Hotel with cruise luggage. Are taxi/Uber allowed into port area?
  5. Have tickets for the Tattoo on Wednesday August 10th with Wallace prepackage at the Scotch Whiskey Experience. Not too concerned about transport from Dock into downtown, am wondering on any advice on what transport to use to return to Quest after the show.
  6. Just wanted to let you know that I heard back from Regent about my concerns/comments on this cruise. They did apologize for the mishaps and their other comments seem to go back to "things beyond their control" such as tour operators/staffing, etc. My suggestions if you are planning an Alaskan cruise this year with Regent. 1. If Regent's agents are to pick you up at the airport, get a local contact name and phone number so you are not left waiting for them. 2. Double checked your excursions tickets first day onboard to see if they have any "missing" or they have changed or cancelled the excursion. The "free" (you paid for them in your cruise cost) are some of the first to go and you will only be offered from Regent $$ excursions. 3. You don't have to accept the offered wines at lunch/dinner. If you have a preference, they will accommodate you. 4. You also can ask for another table being offered in the main dining room. If you don't want to look at the kitchen, before being seated ask for your preference. 5. Know that wifi on this cruise will be iffy. 6. You can ask for specific soda/beers for your room refrigerator. 7. Regent did a great job on laundry. I asked for Cold Water wash and it was. Happy and safe travels.
  7. Was also on this cruise. First time with Regent. The ship is great with lovely cabins. Unfortunately had the misfortune of Regent not making arrangements for our pick up at the airport. No contact phone number given to us for who to call when no one arrived after an hour plus of waiting. Then, Regent upon arrival at our cabin had "destroyed" corner of suitcase making it no longer useable. They did offer monetary compensation, but then it was up to me to find a replacement suitcase at one of the ports and transport back on my own to the ship. No downtown locations for some ports. Regent did offer shuttle buses at least a 15 to 20 minute ride. Shore excursions not organized and many cancelled a few days and then hours before arrival at port with lots of confusion on what would still be offered if any. Not many "included" excursions. We did fill in all of the midship and end of ship comment cards. Never heard back from anyone. For a luxury line, we feel they fell "short" of promised expectations. I thought that the "push" to share a table in the specialty restaurants was not really Covid aware.
