billcrooz Posted September 17, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2009 i have sailed on regent although it then was raddison; 5 times although last trip was 7 years ago and i almost exclusively travel on Silversea now. why? price, regents prices are way too high; if they spent less on mailings they could drop their prices dramatically; i get at least 3 or 4 vey glossy and expensive brochures almos on a weekly basis.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCKelly Posted September 17, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2009 billcrooz, Have you specifically notified Regent and asked them to take you off their mailing list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted September 17, 2009 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I agree about the glossy brochures. But I doubt that cutting back on these would make a very large difference in the prices. You're happy with Silversea, good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose King Posted September 18, 2009 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I agree on the mailing issue but I cannot agree on the price comparison. If you want to compare price do it on similar cabins and price it on a daily basis. Veranda suite vs Veranda suite. Consider the air allowance and free excursions on Regent, and on a daily basis Regent is significantly less expensive than Silver Sea on similar itineraries.

Dreps Posted September 18, 2009 #5 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I agree with San Jose King. Comparisons that I have made indicate that Regent is usually less (not more) than Silversea. I thought our recent Baltic cruise was a relative bargain when one factors in the free excursions, which were excellent. In addition, I think Regent has cut back on sending brochures. Most that I've received lately from Regent have been about PG cruises, and those will soon be history. In fact, I just received another Silversea brochure today about European/Med. cruises for 2010.
