We have more time on the Navigator than the other ships, though we do like the Explorer, including a couple of 26-day cruises. We much prefer it to the Voyager or Mariner. We will be doing the Transatlantic in November and hope it stays around for another trip.

Alaska weather changes often, having lived there and cruised there several times, I recommend you check the weather forecast before you decide what to pack.

Having spent some quality time at the pool bar with Zqueeze on a previous cruise, looking forward to his dialog.

Sorry to hear, we sailed with him several time, always a gentleman.

We were on Celebrity in May. the shuttle works pretty well and we, in our 70's walked one way.

Looking forward to the review of your Tokyo to Bangkok cruise, we had to cancel at the las minute because of family illness.

The miso black cod is better than the sea bass but we've only had it in Pacific Rim. Both worth eating.

The shower in the Penthouse on Explorer is the best ever. The bathtub only on the Mariner is not usable for us seniors the stepover is too high.

Thanks for a great trip report, we enjoy crossings and looking forward to ours next year.

Great posting, enjoyed it all, We won't be on Regent until November but you've made our wait even longer.

We're flying to Toyko in November from Seattle and took a $1300 per person upgrade for a nonstop on Japan Air. We were charged the $75 fee but it was refunded since we're Platinum. Seemed expensive but with current flying issues it seemed the way to go.

Looking forward to your travels, I've enjoyed a beverage or two with you at the pool bar,

We were recently on the Solstice, we have over 400 nights at sea, including Regent Seven Seas, and our meal at Murano was one of the best ever, Well worth doing.

Just off Solstice, $30 won't go very far at Sushi on Five.

Just got off the Solstice in a royal suite, the service and food was very good, however 3000 passengers doesn't compare with 750. We enjoyed our cruise but sure our next cruise on the Explorer in only a concierge suite will be better We have over 200 nights on Regent and almost a hundred on Celebrity. Compare prices on what is included and Regent can be a better value.
