which are the all inclusive luxury cruises

[grapejuice]

I have only been on RSSC Navigator and absolulelty loved everything about it. Any other cruises would have to be all inclusive. I couldn't stand counting out my dollars and coins to get a drink or pay tips etc. I would never, ever ,consider a non inclusive cruise line. What are the all inclusive Navigator type cruise lines that you all would consider? I have posted this on Regent because I know how excellent everything is on this line and anybody reading this may have other excellent stories to tell. Only reason is, we are planning a big trip for 2011 and there are certain areas we want to visit in the MED, so if RSSC do not have the correct destinations I would like to look up other alternatives only if they are as excellent as RSSC. I know it is 2 years away but I like to investigate. Remember we only like all inclusive!!!

Check out Seabourn (the new Odyssey would be great), Silversea (they have a new ship coming too - the Spirit I believe) and Seadream Yacht Club (totally different experience but fun).
Good luck in your search for the perfect cruise!

Grapejuice: I don't know if bed size matters to you at all (for most people it seems not to; for us it's major). We were very interested in Seabourn at one point (have friends who adore the line), but their beds are only queen. I've recently checked if the new Spirit will have kings-- answer is no (alas). On Regent, the kings are slightly less wide than on standard U.S. kings, but significantly wider that standard queen-- they work fine for us. I've recently learned that Silversea is same, i.e. 2 twins pushed together (don't feel gap), so significantly wider than standard queen. (I got the measurements and measured against what our own bed is.) Again, none of this may matter to you.

We're in same position as you, by the way. Want next cruise (after Alaska this summer) to continue the Med b2b we did last year on Voyager. But Regent doesn't have anything scheduled that fits our time druthers and that looks as appealing as our last trip.

You have a lot of time to research the list Cruisewoman79 gave you. I loved my Regent Med cruise, but we love Silversea, also, and SeaDream's ships are a great fit over there, and the one I saw looked beautiful (though different). Odyssey looks like it will be fabulous and probably a better/newer Navigator type experience.

Another all inclusive that we have done is Celebrity Xpedition with goes to the Galapagos. It is Celebrity's only all-inclusive ship, but if you want to go to the Galapagos, it is definitely the way to go.
Food is not as good (not even close) to Regent. Cabins are standard but ok. But once you are on board, you never have to pay for anything unless you buy stuff in the gift shop.
