Pinksunset Posted May 10, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Thank you for all your great posts! I now realize I have made a grave error in scheduling our first Regent cruise on the Mariner for only 7 days. We will cherish each day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelcat2 Posted May 10, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Hmmmm, did you have your laundry taken care of for you after only cruising on Regent twice? I believe that many of us would be interested in your answer. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They neither said by the butler nor that this was free ;) I , too, enjoy having my laundry taken care of when traveling- only I usually have to pay for this ;) but, God, it is SO worth it!

In any case, this deserves an answer lest people reading this thread think that Regent offers free laundry to everyone when in fact it is only for Seven Seas Society Platinum and above members and those saying on the "special" Mediterranean cruises this summer (Regent likely used the free laundry promotion to sell cruises that were not selling well.) I agree with everything that the TS said but simply question that one item. If they paid for their laundry, it would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtsyCraftsy Posted May 11, 2018 #25 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I've really enjoyed reading your updates during your trip and also this wrap-up. I'm booked on the Mariner for my first RSSC cruise this fall: "Serene Sunsets" -- 28 nights Vancouver to Miami via Alaska and the Panama Canal. This will be my third cruise ever. My first was Holland America to Alaska last fall for 14 days; the second is coming up this summer, also Holland America, 38 days "Voyage of the Vikings" r/trip from Boston. I arrive back home from the Vikings cruise and 17 days later, I board the Mariner -- so 17 days to unpack from a north Atlantic / Arctic cruise, and repack for Alaska and the Caribbean. I'm an obsessive list-maker, so I should have everything lined up, but still ... Anyway, thanks again for sharing your experiences. It definitely helps "newbies" like me get a sense of life onboard.
