.I hope your DH gets well enough for future travels with you. I'm sure someone in the cruise will post.

Thanks for providing photos of my homeland (mi patria, PR). Unfortunately, my last Regent Caribbean cruise did not stop there... so I will be booking another. As others have said, your posts are very enjoyable, and we all wish to coincide in a cruise with you and The Boss.

We were booked by Regent at The Intercontinental last December. The hotel and breakfast were quite acceptable. What was not, was the coordination for the transfer to the pier. The Regent desk at the hotel will assign a bus #, but, no matter your number, all passengers will congregate willy nilly when bus # arrives. The bus driver will not check your number, so those that push harder will go in first. This was our experience. I would recommend you get a taxi to the pier, which is not at all far from the hotel.

We had no problem with the Intercontinental...Bayshore Market with good restaurants nearby... however we would not have liked a Coral Gables hotel (mostly residential area). What I found unacceptable was the transport to the pier organization at the Intercontinental. Next time a taxi will do.

Greetings bitob! The Intercontinental was used for our Dec 14-21 cruise.

We do make good use of the butler's services, and most have been very efficient and professional. Our best butler serviced us in another line (Crystal pre-covid), but Regent's butler have been more than acceptable and we have duly appreciated their worth in our reviews. Thank you, Regent!

Just as an anecdote, as GMAIC would say, I was in 949 and could not hear a thing.

SORRY I AM USING CAPS; WRITING WITH MY LEFT HAND, RIGHT HAND ON A CAST. I AGREE THE SURVEY WAS NOT EFFECTIVELY WRITTEN. I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT I WOULD SACRIFICE AND STILL CRUISE ON REGENT. RESULTS WOULD BE VERY TRANSPARENT AND PRODUCTIVE.

BROKE MY RIGHT HAND, EASIER TO WRITE IN CAPS, SORRY. I FEEL FOR YOU; BUS TRANSFERS HAVE BEEN LESS HAN ACCEPTABLE. WORST MEMORY WAS RECENT 12/14-21 GRANDEUR CRUISE TRANSPORT FROM MIAMI INTERCONTINENTAL TO SHIP. WE WERE ASSIGNED BUS NO. 1 AT 11AM AND ALL OTHERS SHOWED UP AND PUSHED THEIR WAY THROUGH , WHILE NOBODY CHECKED THEIR ASSIGNMENTS. MANY IN MY GROUP WERE TRAMPLED. BETTER TAKE A TAXI!!!

Our PH suite also had one lounger and two regular chairs. Bad weather made them useless to us... but they were there. Hope you enjoy them.

Agree! In Grandeur lunch at the Grill was seamless. Once seated a bar server would take our drinks order; then sweet Assapara would take our food order, and another crew member would deliver. No problem ordering and receiving the food in La Veranda...and I was always located when I forgot the table number.

I recently cruised the Grandeur Dec 14-21 Mayan Caribbean mostly sold out cruise. DH and I are early bird diners, and when approaching Compass Rose for its 6:30pm opening, we were either second or third in line. You will be aware that you need reservations for the specialty restaurants.

Happy Holidays bitob. Yes, beautiful ship and lovely decor and art. In our opinion, all food very good and some excellent. Unfortunately, the weather disappointed the main reason for this Mayan Caribbean cruise, but we enjoyed it overall. Hope you continue to enjoy your cruises.

Hello from Dinosaur Land! I also was in the 7 day cruise and will comment that some servers are new, especially found at breakfast in La Veranda, and some have trouble with English, but they are all very kind and wanting to please. We received outstanding service from our butler Vishnu, Claudia (Peru), Rodzica (Serbia) and Assapara (Thailand). I am sure that by the time you sail they will all be up to par.

If it is of use, we were in 949 in this trip. We did not have any noise issue.
