In the past, they have sent a person off ship to buy something if they didn't have it. I don't know if they still do this. They have gotten me a bottle of Black Seal in the past as well as some mixers they didn't have.

In all my cruising, I have never filled out a form. I just let the cabin person know and everything I want is in there within a couple of hours.

Main cruise lines run nude charters all the time. We had a friend working on Azamara who used to tell us stories that you would not believe.

I am not trying to be insulting to anyone but people who think that standards in excess of the Dress Code fit my description as do people who tell other guests that they are improperly dressed. I agree with you that Regent should enforce all their rules...and the enforcement of the Dress Code could be more consistent. Lastly, I agree that we all have a responsibility to adhere to the rules and people who do not should get a warning and then be put off. It appears the only thing we don't agree on is who tells another guest they are violating the rules - I think this job falls on Regent. I obviously have no issue if a guest calls the front desk and tells a crew member that someone is smoking on their balcony - that just makes sense as it is a safety issue.

This....and it is Regent's job to enforce it, not ours. The only thing more annoying than a person ignoring the rules is another guest thinking they are the self-appointed Regent Police. I am NOT referring to you - I agree with you - I just think Regent needs to enforce the rules they publish.

Draft is the amount of the ship that extends below the waterline. Navigator is about 2.8 feet "deeper" than Mariner.

You mean the Regent Dress Police?

True dat! 7.3m vs. 6.4m. Another interest fact is that the Navigator gets substantially worse fuel economy with her stabilization activated....so often it is not.

You would hope but the thousands of posts here and on other forums indicate otherwise.

Town cut is only 70m wide with a depth of roughly 10m - limiting access by size and by the winds in the area.

Why Regent doesn't spend 5 minutes and clarify the dress code is beyond me...

The rules are actually vague on this (although the spirit is clear to me). They say "no jeans", not "no jean material"...aka denim. I have seen it allowed and seen it turned away. It is more vague because the dress code only applies to the interior public venues of the ship. You can wear shorts after 6PM if you stay outside...I do it all the time after clearing it with a GM. In either case, I am going with posting the rules and letting the adult make their own decision as I have no desire to turn into the Regent Dress Code Police and I really don't care what others do. Attire ranges from Casual to Formal Optional. Casual wear consists of resort-style outfits; some examples are jeans, shorts, t-shirts, and tennis shoes. Casual wear is appropriate for daytime both on board or ashore. Casual wear is not appropriate after 6:00 PM. On the night prior to disembarkation, guests may need to pack their luggage early due to morning flights the next day. With this in mind, on the last night of every voyage, we will relax the dress code for dinner to Casual. Otherwise, the recommended onboard dress in the evenings is Elegant Casual. Dinner dress for ladies includes a skirt, or slacks with a blouse or sweater, a pant suit or dress; slacks and a collared shirt for gentlemen. Sport jackets are optional. Casual wear is not to be worn at dinner. Ties are not required. On sailings of 16 nights or more, Formal and Semi-Formal attire is optional on two of the evenings. On the two Formal Optional evenings, guests are welcome to dress as per the elegant Casual dress code or opt for a more formal choice of clothing including gowns and cocktail dresses for ladies; tuxedos, dinner jackets or dark suits with tie for gentlemen.

I bring a suit for date night and/or eating with friends/staff...but I usually wear a button down and pants. I tried to skip the pants one night and my gf caught me in the hall and told me I couldn't go to dinner in skivvies.

50/50 chance she is asked to change out of "jeans"...all depends who is working the door. I've seen it go both ways.

Yep! From RSSC.com Attire ranges from Casual to Formal Optional. Casual wear consists of resort-style outfits; some examples are jeans, shorts, t-shirts, and tennis shoes.

The Formal Optional nights simply give people an excuse to dress up a bit. People are mixed in together so you could be in a tux and be next to a person in khakis and a golf shirt. Most of the time you cannot even tell it is a Formal Optional night because 90% of the people look the same.

Navigator is my favorite ship and I have 450 nights on 5 ships. It all depends on your personality. The smaller size far outweighs the new and fancier ships (for me). The service is the same.

This happens when the walls of the ship are metal. Sitting under a router in the Observation Lounge is usually pretty good.

Mariner is getting Voyagers time....very interesting.

It is still in planning stages so Navigator guests are not aware.

Might be. Currently set to join Nov1 I think but there is a chance they may swap - I know they prefer the Mariner.

As of now, they are scheduled...so it should be fun!

Their credit is fine...they had no problem securing financing for all the new ships on order.

It might change but that is the schedule as of now. Its good news as they usually only take contracts on Mariner.
