runnerswife Posted May 30, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Our Oct. 31st transatlantic got switched from the Mariner to the Explorer. We were booked in a Penthouse Suite in a decent location and now are in Penthouse Suite 704 up front. Not crazy at all about location. Have a call into our contact at Regent who know what available until 6/2. Any opinion on the cabin location? BTW we love the Explorer. Thanks, Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are four on deck 7 and four on deck 8. Check a deck plan. We love Explorer also…much better than Mariner. sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got an e mail from Regent on Friday with all the revised documents. Same docs, nothing has changed including tours, etc. Except the Cabin. I have been in contact with our Regent rep who said she waitlisted us for a different location, but won't know what is available until 6/2.

xrvlcruiser Posted May 30, 2021 #5 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Mary, Was the booking number the same for the Explorer as it was for the Mariner booking? TIA . . .Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudgesmom Posted May 30, 2021 #6 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) They should have notified everyone at the same time. My TA wasn’t able to get into the system to find ours until today. Add in our cancelled flights carefully chosen with already paid air deviation , so far my first experience with Regent gets a B-.

SWFLAOK Posted May 31, 2021 #7 Share Posted May 31, 2021 The penthouse suites on Explorer are much larger than those on Mariner. And it's a much larger ship. I would rather be in a penthouse on deck 7 on Explorer for a transatlantic than any of the penthouse suites on Mariner, which all seem to be up high on a small ship. Would I rather have 740 on Explorer than 704? Yes, but deck 7 is low on a larger ship. And I do get seasick so I do look for the lower midship cabins, or take Bonine when the marine forecast is for waves higher than 8 to 10 feet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me feel better about the whole thing. Really looking forward to this cruise and happy to be in a Penthouse Suite and on the Explorer.

tipsygirl Posted June 3, 2021 #11 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Just got our new invoice with new booking number for our ship change from Mariner to Explorer for the new sail date of December 9th RT from Miami . OK with the cabin location. And pleased that even though the trip is one day longer the price was still the same. And have shore excursions mostly booked. Fairly smooth transition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
