Oops. Sorry I said the wrong names. Travelcat2 is correct.

Oh I am talking about the Navigator.

Did not care much for the Diamond when it was in the fleet but

that was the way it was arranged and difficult to get around,

not the way it sailed or had any vibration problems.

Also liked the Paul Gauguin when it was in the fleet. Course

being in the French Polynesian waters it could have been a row boat

and we would have been happy since we could not believe we were there.

Really like the Voyager and Mariner and looking forward to

sailing on the Explorer.

We have been fortunate to have sailed on the Regent ships.

Voyager, Paul Gauguin, Diamond, Mariner 6 times, Navigator, and March 2017 Explorer.

Had cabin 625 on Navigator and very little vibrations. That said just about everywhere

else on the ship was very noticeable. Horizon lounge was awful. Bottles behind the bar banging into each other. Drink glass moves while sitting at the bar are examples.

Only thing we liked about the ship was the constellation theater which was very comfortable. Needless to say we do not have any plans to sail on that ship again.

Going to try UBER from Embassy Suites Miami Airport to Bubba Gump's downtown in April.

Never used them before so help it works.

Have already done the required sign up with them.

OK. Thank you. Since the Explorer will have 3 specialty restaurants I

thought that would probably be the case.

Question about Regent Explorer and specialty restaurants.

Looked at a couple of places and it only shows that you need to make

reservations for Prime 7 AND NOT Signatures.

Could someone tell me if this is true??

Seamefirst:

Sorry that your 1st experience doing a Regent cruise was on the Navigator.

Been fortunate to cruised on Voyager, Mariner, Diamond, Paul Gauguin, Navigator, and in 2017 Explorer. Course Diamond and Paul Gauguin are no longer in the Regent fleet.

Because of itineraries we liked, the Mariner is the ship we have been on the most,

but say we like it and the Voyager about equal. That said we did one cruise on the Navigator

and will not do another.

Wish you would reconsider and give Regent another try on Voyager, Mariner, or Explorer.

Think you may have a way different positive attitude after doing that.

Saw pictures of where the bombing took place.

In 2013 we spent 3 days before our Mariner Istanbul to Rome cruise in this area.

Stayed at a hotel close by. Walked in this area many times during the 3 days.

Very disturbing.

Jan B and I are also booked on the March 26, 2017 Miami to Venice cruise aboard the Explorer. Great value. Well we think so.

We have always found the wines very good.

In fact they are better than what we would buy at home for ourselves!! LOL

Thanks for the link.

Yes it does look pretty simple.

How does getting a visa work now for Turkey?

Last time we were there you handed a person a crisp US $20 dollar bill and they

put a stamp in your passport.

I understand you can not do it that way any more.

Received ours about a month ago and like others was excited to look through it.

Tacky tacky tacky. What a terrible waste it was.

We received an upgrade on the Mariner when we did the 1st segment Amazon cruise.

Turns out it was right below La Veranda and across from our cabin door was where the

employees would come in and out all night long.

The door slamming all night long and moving chairs early mornings got old quickly.

Will stick to lower cabins from now on.

We received an $850 per person upgrade for our Mariner Oct 7th cruise.

No way. Why would we? The cabin we have is just fine.

Already spending to much for the trip.

Thank you 2010 cruisers

Appriciated all the information you provided.

We are cruising on the Mariner, Rome to Fort Lauderdale 11/20/2011

and decided to use Regent Air so we could upgrade to business class

going over to Rome.

We fly out of Billings Montana.

It is not a Gateway City so $100 there.

It is not a secondary gate way city so $199 there.

So it cost us an extra $299 per person along with the $999 upgrade.

$1,298.00 is still very reasonable for us to fly business class over and economy

back. It was almost $3,800.00 per person to book it on our own and that also was economy on return flight.

Plus booking with Regent air they will pick you up at the airport and take you to the hotel or ship depending upon your arrival. And they will also get you from the ship to the airport

in Fort Lauderdale.

Thank you for the photos.

Very helpful.

We have a large family group going July 10th

and some have booked these types of cabins.

Was wondering where you have been.

Glad you are back on line!!

I don't recall any cabin having a obstructed view on any of Regent ships.

Beer and wine are included with lunch.

Beer wine and cocktails are included with dinner.

Don't forget to tell your TA or fill out your Radisson guest information on line and tell them what you would like as your cabin bar set up.

You do this under the comment section.
