Rare Zqueeze1 Posted May 8, 2015 #128 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Well.... we booked the TA. :o Way to go. We'll be onboard also. BTW, thanks for the wonderful pics especially since we were supposed to be onboard this cruise and are almost second-guessing our decision to accept Regent's alternate cruise offer. We saw the Navigator in SF and The Boss almost strangled me dockside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandra cruiser Posted May 8, 2015 #129 Share Posted May 8, 2015 thinking of this same cruise next yr.but on Mariner.Have been to Alaska once many yrs. ago and on that ship too. Enjoying all the info and great photos.Looks like the weather is not too bad either. Plan on taking more out of town excursions,since we ve seen the cities . Have till July 1st to decide,but looks good so far.Regent should give you some OBC for helping those on the fence decide.haha:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 2012_Alaska_bound Posted May 8, 2015 #130 Share Posted May 8, 2015 RollingRocks asked about the included wine list. Here is a link from TravelCat's "Food Live from the Mariner" thread that has the wine list: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2190342&page=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star2012 Posted May 8, 2015 #132 Share Posted May 8, 2015 We are considering the Navigator for Aug 19 cruise: Seward, Hubbard, Skagway, Juneau, Sitka, Prince Rupert, Inside passage, Vancouver. Love your real-time reports and pics, and welcome input from others who have made this trip. Expecially interested in tips about the best excursions. Although this late, we may have trouble getting on them. We are new to Regent--previous cruises on Crystal, Silversea, and RC--but have loved the all-inclusive, mid-size ships we have been on.

Rare crusin7 Posted May 8, 2015 #133 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Hi Ron. Those King Crab legs look amazing! I am salivating. :D I'm really enjoying your posts. Continue to have a great cruise. Didn't you get seasick?? I almost turned green looking at your pics out of SF!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computerworks Posted May 8, 2015 Author #134 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Fortunately... we have great "sea legs" and never get bothered. (Knock wood) We are currently slow sailing into Ketchikan. Another glorious day... blue skies filled with float planes and warm sun. We tour George Inlet and visit a lodge. We are delayed an hour due to currents.

computerworks Posted May 9, 2015 Author #135 Share Posted May 9, 2015 What a great day in Ketchikan. The layers came off and we wore t-shirts. Sitting in the theater...waiting for Krew Kapers to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelcat2 Posted May 9, 2015 #136 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hope you enjoyed Krew Kapers. It is my favorite show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computerworks Posted May 9, 2015 Author #137 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Krew Kapers was loads of fun... what a well produced show. Not your typical amateur hour. Cruising the Inside Passage today... as a sea day. Very cool and overcast.. but still smooth as silk. We really were blessed with the weather we had in all ports. Down time today, but the sad day when the suitcases come out from under the bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We flew in same day from NYC and arrived about 10:30 a.m. Transfers to ship were quick and efficient. We checked in, dropped our hand luggage and met our son for lunch at Noon. Had a great day and plenty of time to reboard for sailaway. We used Regent air... it was the exact flights we had picked as first choice for both legs... so we were happy with that. So much of the cruising is in channels that either side is fine...but, if pushed, I would say Port side. I have to believe that our weather was above average. But nights are cool and Ketchikan normally has three weather forecasts: it's going to rain, it's raining and it's stopped raining. So, it is a good idea to pack at least one warm jacket and some foul weather gear. It truly was hard to guess, and we ended up with an extra suitcase of just-in-case clothes.

Travelcat2 Posted May 10, 2015 #144 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Truly enjoyed traveling with you via CC. Hope you will do a review of this cruise when you get home - especially since you have not only cruised on the beautiful Marina but also the very large ships. After being on ships with tons of things to do every minute, did you find the Navigator too quiet? How did the food, service and suite measure up? Since you booked the Explorer, it seems that you both enjoyed Regent. Still, would love to read your review.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computerworks Posted May 10, 2015 Author #145 Share Posted May 10, 2015 After being on ships with tons of things to do every minute, did you find the Navigator too quiet? How did the food, service and suite measure up? Funny you mention that... we have been so full of things to do the last two days. :p (..not even time to finish with a last set of pics. I'll get them up soon... tonight or tmrw.) We truly enjoyed the small ship... I admit I was wary. Never felt the size was an issue... In the words of Angela (who said this more than once): "I could really, really get used to this." The trip was excellent.. the ship, crew, service and food was all top notch.
