Review of AmaWaterways Bordeaux Wine Cruise
2012_Alaska_bound replied to 2012_Alaska_bound's topic in River Cruising
Our cruise in March was also a designated wine cruise with an American wine maker. I think they offer one in Spring and one in Fall. Our wineries seemed to be similar to the ones mentioned by @gingerspike. If you want me to look up the specifics, please let me know. I had done very little Bordeaux tasting before, so all wines were new to me. Looking into the Provence Fall itinerary for 2025. -
Regent Grandeur Now a Regent Ship
2012_Alaska_bound replied to DeepFreeze63's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
I was just on Splendor for two weeks, and Destination Services did a great job. For the first time in 7 cruises, I had almost daily interaction with them. Changed many excursions due to activity levels being raised between signing up last year and boarding. DS was able to help me choose more appropriate excursions each time. -
Splendor Rome to Miami 11/13
2012_Alaska_bound replied to crusin7's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
We went there for lunch on 11/13. Delicious! Caprese salad, cheese and pepper pasta, and a whole sea bass. -
Activity Levels for excursions
2012_Alaska_bound replied to mj_holiday's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
This the first cruise I have needed to really pay attention to activity levels. 14 day Med cruise to Greece, Turkey and Italy. When we boarded and got the updated excursion descriptions, most excursions had increased in activity level. We think it is due to the amount of cobblestones in this area. Unfortunately, cobblestones are not my friends nowadays! Very few "easy" excursions or even "moderate". Since I walk so slowly I've had to cancel any marked "strenuous". Just don't want my fellow passengers always waiting for me to catch up. Found that just because it is labeled "panorama" does not mean there isn't walking or stairs involved. Going forward I will try looking things up on YouTube! -
Pre cruise Rome or Post cruise Athens
2012_Alaska_bound replied to snorkle lover's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Currently on Splendor Athens-Athens-Rome. Did the pre-cruise in Athens. Since we came in a day before the pre-cruise started we did the Hop On Hop Off bus the first day and a Food Tour that evening. Next day was Poseiden's temple, lunch, and dinner. I opted out of day 2 and 3 due to a bad knee, but from my friend's description both were good and they were onboard by 1:30. Doing the Rome/Tivoli post cruise in a few days. Once again the first day is empty so will probably do HOHO. Will report back after. -
Question for recent visitors to Turkish ports
2012_Alaska_bound replied to mrlevin's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Been in Istanbul and Izmir this week. High winds kept us from docking in Bodrum. Ephesus tomorrow. Seen nothing unusual or disturbing. -

Mediterranean mythology & musings on Navigator

Luke is a destinations manager that makes a difference! His great attitude flows down to his team. And yes he wore shorts in the Arctic Circle last year! -
Regent “We do not provide this service.”
2012_Alaska_bound replied to PaulaJK's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
A good manager makes all the difference! -
Yes, it does. Gold loyalty level and above and concierge cabins and above get up to 4 simultaneous logins. @Pcardad please correct me about the suite level if I'm incorrect.

FREE 15 Minutes of Ship-to-Shore Phone Time
2012_Alaska_bound replied to TheShag's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
I use AT&T which is also $10 /day. They cap it at $100 for the month automatically, so anything over 10 days is "included". -
Regent - Unreasonable Air Itineraries - Never Again
2012_Alaska_bound replied to Golfess's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
You can fly in up to 30 days before your cruise and fly out up to 30 days after your cruise. A wonderful option in my opinion. My experience (April 2022) was that they would even book me out of a different country. -
Will their be a wine tasting event?
2012_Alaska_bound replied to 1sttimerrt's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
We take a picture of the label then can show it to them! -
Been there twice in the last 10 months and carry my meds in my carry on bag. No problems at all.

2012_Alaska_bound replied to 1sttimerrt's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
I've been wondering about this since I board in 10 days on a cruise with no sea days. Thanks for the info. Will just try what I want at dinner! -

Two notable items that are sometimes not listed on the schedule in Passages, but may only appear as photo ads: Old and New World wine tasting of included wines Sunday Brunch at Sea Great advice to look at all the "ads"! -
Live on Splendor - London to Barcelona
2012_Alaska_bound replied to forgap's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
In the past the Sette Mari menu changes every two days. The menus rotate of two weeks, I think. I haven't been on since last summer, though, so this might have changed. Will comment next month. -
Live on Splendor - London to Barcelona
2012_Alaska_bound replied to forgap's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Thought you would love this! Sorry you had a limited time. On our river cruise they just gave us the tickets so we could stay as long as we wanted and then either take the tour bus back or walk back. I think we stayed about 3 hours! -
Live on Splendor - London to Barcelona
2012_Alaska_bound replied to forgap's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Do you remember the name? -
Funny. The George Inlet crab feast for the cruise @RELS and we are taking, the excursion is for 7:30 a.m. I'm a big fan of that excursion, but even I won't do it for breakfast!
