carolina cruisin

I will have to pay more attention I guess. Have seen comments re music in CR and others before. I never have noticed it.

Hoping someone that has actually used scooter onboard will respond. I can say that on our recent cruise on Explorer - a gentlemen "parked" his scooter at the end of our passageway every night. Never seemed to be an issue.

We were on Explorer Jan-Feb and agree - the best service ever. Give our best to Yuli - from the Robertson's.

Returned from an Australia/SE Asia cruise - Jan 13-Feb 21. Loved the ship. We actually liked the decor better than the Splendor - "more subdued". Perhaps the best service we have experienced. Have another Explorer cruise booked for Sept 2024. Go for it.

Agree with above - on Mariner, Splendor, and Explorer - have never encountered a long line. Will say that we tend to eat early - but showing up at 6:30ish has not been a problem thus far.

Agreeing with papaflamingo. I will have to say that on our most recent cruise - I was served a lobster (in Prime 7) that I could not/would not eat - mentioned it to them and they were very concerned and ready to make it right. Other than that, guess I, and papaflamingo, are just "lucky" in not encountering multiple issues with our steaks. This is not about giving Regent a "free pass" - it just shows that not everyone one is unlucky enough to being unable to find a steak to their liking. I also have never encountered a situation where the staff was unconcerned and/or unwilling to make amends if food is less than "perfect".

To add to the above - we stayed there Feb 21-24 - post-cruise stay. Everything about the hotel was exceptional. Highly recommended.

Tks for response. Scenario is that I will be flying to Rome but coming to Miami on the ship - then flying home. Think we have come up with a solution, but - will definitely check for details.

Have an upcoming cruise - Rome to Miami. Will be flying business class to Rome. Currently listed as flying economy from Miami to home. As baggage restrictions stand - there is a distinct difference in allowable weight. Wondering if there i any consideration towards bag weight in this situation. Perhaps I should book my own flight home using points to upgrade.

Late to the party on this one. I just returned from a 30+ day cruise on the Explorer. Plan to provide more of a review later, but - I wanted to jump in and say that the service on this cruise is the best I have ever experienced - on any cruise line. Attitude of all - servers, officers, etc. was excellent.

Am sure some have encountered lines now and then. During the past 4 cruises with Regent - we have not once been turned away or asked to wait. As others have mentioned, lines can form immediately after a ship-wide function but they tend to disperse quickly. Will grant that we tend to eat earlier than some. Perhaps we have just been "lucky" re long lines.

Have to admit that miss the pool; grill option in the evening. On our first two Regent cruises it always seemed to me that it was well used for a casual evening meal.

Find it interesting that some are not satisfied with pool Grill. That has always been the go-to spot when coming back from excursions. Things may have changed but I recall that orders were taken at one end of the buffet line and brought to your table. Was never an issue. Will be aboard Explorer in a few weeks so will see if any of this has changed.

Wonder what time you were at Coffee Connection. There is usually someone there most of the days- I believe until around 5 or so. Hope that hasn't changed.

You will not regret sailing on Paul Gaguin. One of our most memorable trips!!
