Regent lite: the most inclusive cruise line is no longer regent. sadly, we are seeing shrinkflation on regent. i understand the economics of no longer including business air. but, while fares are still at 6-star level, inclusiveness is 4-star. no more leather luggage tags for all, fees to move money to casino, crappy internet is what you get with “unlimited wifi unless you pay $20 per day per guest for usable internet. “ unlimited wifi” is clearly and intentionally misleading unless you skip to the very fine print. limiting internet is one thing but making it basically unusable to sell upgrades is not what regent is about (or was about). suggestion: give gold level and above the old services that you are removing to save a few bucks or you will lose your most loyal guests. i don’t like being misled or being pickpocketed on board. you have a great company; let’s preserve it. i am probably moving to viking.
I’ve cruised many times on mainstream cruise lines, mostly because of the lower cost. A friend kept raving about Regent Seven Seas Cruises (RSSC), but I always assumed it was far outside my budget. Eventually, I found a sailing priced similarly to what I’d spend on a land vacation, so I decided to give it a try. We booked the Concierge category, which includes a pre-cruise hotel night and transportation from London to Southampton. The price difference wasn’t huge, but the convenience was significant — it completely removed the stress of getting to the terminal from London. The included hotel was the Rosewood London, a lovely way to start the trip. Embarkation was smooth. It felt like we were the last to board as there were no lines at all — a theme that continued throughout the cruise. The ship had just come out of dry dock in May, and everything looked refreshed and well maintained. Our suite on Deck 9 exceeded expectations. It was spacious, with a couch, coffee table, and a welcome bottle of sparkling wine was awaiting for us. The balcony felt a bit tight only because it had full-size lounge chairs and a table, but still offered enough room to move around. The bed was extremely comfortable, the closet had more hangers than I’ve ever seen on a ship, and the bathroom was fantastic — a proper walk‑in shower and plenty of counter space. Concierge-level suites also include an Illy coffee maker, which we used daily. Overall, the suite was one of the highlights of the trip. We loved the valet laundry service. If you set your items out before 9 a.m., they were returned the same day — incredibly convenient. Our cabin attendants were fantastic. They seemed to be everywhere, always working, and always available. The suite was consistently spotless. Excursions The included excursions were very good, with enough variety that we never struggled to book what we wanted. The Excursion Desk was helpful when we needed to switch tours or adjust times, and things do change frequently, so checking in is worthwhile. Entertainment Entertainment was solid. The ship’s dancers and singers were talented, and there were live musicians, guest performers, and variety shows. Seating was never an issue — we usually arrived just a few minutes before showtime and still found good seats. If you’re particular about where you sit, arriving earlier helps, but it’s nothing like the 30‑minute‑early scramble on other lines. There were so many things to do onboard. They do a great job to ensure all guests have a great time. Dining La Veranda (the buffet) was excellent for breakfast and lunch. There were always a few special dishes, and I often ended up with freshly grilled fish or pasta at lunch. Service was impeccable — servers constantly circulated offering wine, beer, champagne, or soft drinks. At breakfast, don’t miss the fresh‑squeezed juices. We also enjoyed the Poolside Grill, which serves everything from pizza and burgers to grilled fish. Service was great, though I personally preferred dining indoors. Compass Rose, the main dining room, was a mixed experience. Our first dinner was excellent, but food and service were inconsistent on subsequent nights. During peak dinner hours, service slowed noticeably. Prime 7 (the steakhouse) was comparable to specialty restaurants on other cruise lines, with the major difference being that it’s included. You can reserve once pre-cruise, and additional reservations may be available onboard through the Dining Desk — yes, there’s a dedicated desk open daily just for dining arrangements. Chartreuse, the French restaurant, was also included and limited to one reservation. The food was good. Sette Mari - the Italian specialty restaurant ended up being our favorite. No reservation is required, though there’s usually a wait after 7 p.m. Of all the venues, this one had the best service. Drinks & Service There are many lounges throughout the ship, each with slightly different drink menus. Since almost everything is included, except certain premium beverages and excursions, we didn't need to use our room key, except when we purchased something from the gift shop. It was a refreshing change from the constant signing slips on other lines. Fitness As mentioned by other reviewers, the gym is on the smaller side, and while some of the equipment could use an upgrade, it was perfectly adequate for my workouts. I usually went in the late afternoon and often had the entire space to myself. I appreciated the steam sauna, a feature you typically don’t get on other cruise lines without purchasing a spa package. The only improvement I’d suggest is adding a hair dryer in the ladies’ locker room. Final Thoughts I truly enjoyed the suite, the valet laundry, the included excursions, the steam sauna, and the blissful absence of lines. Service was generally very good, with only a few inconsistent moments. Overall, I’m glad I tried. It delivered a noticeably elevated experience compared to mainstream cruise lines as one would expect at the price point.
This is my fifth cruise on voyager and sixth on Regent. I am Gold Level. I have cruised on at least six other cruise lines. Regent is good but not great, which it used to be. It is still high end with very good food, great crew and comfortable ships. However, I chose Regent this trip to have zero issues, zero limits and complete relaxation. Sadly, that has not been the case. It’s not that Regent is not a good cruise line; it is shrinkflation. They hold themselves out as “all inclusive.” Don’t be misled. While I can understand the limits of continuing to include business class air in all fares and am not complaining about that change, there are niggling little nips at your wallet while on board, charges that never existed before. Example: To move your money, refundable on board credit, to the casino has cost me $3.00 per transaction. That is a grab. Example: “Unlimited WiFi” is a purposely misleading statement. You can use as much WiFi as you like but the internet is so throttled that it is useless for any but mail (except any with embedded video). To get usable internet for one device you have to pay $19.95 per day. This is not “all inclusive.” The very fine print makes clear that streaming is not possible with the “all inclusive “ but I admit I did not read that since I booked through an agent. The on board “Executive Concierge” was adamant that he could do nothing. Sadly this is not all because little nicks at the luxury are gone: leather luggage tags and leather zipper folders for all came with your boarding materials. They are now only for platinum members. It is no longer the 6star cruise line. It’s four star at a 5 star price. If this sounds like an entitled person whining, I guess that’s because it probably is. But, when I pay for something, I expect to get it, not something less. I loved Regent before and saved to afford to repeat the experience. Sad. What I recommend is that 1. loyal cruises be grandfathered and receive the same perks and services that they got when they had cruised before. It’s these mi or details that leave a sour taste ; 2. On board staff be given discretionary authority t rectify such complaints on board and instantly without having to contact shore offices. Such delay only irritates the experienced guest even more. (The home office refused to upgrade WiFi to its prior level hiding behind the fine print.). We all have choices. Regent has made the choice to lose its prime customers for a few dollars. I know the company needs to recoup its losses but I am sad to see the Regent experience no longer available. This seems to be happening everywhere. I would have happily paid more fare to not have had these types of petty issues. It is the intentional misrepresentation that bothers me. I’m moving on.
We cruise often, most often with NCL. We wanted an Iceland cruise with multiple port visits and Regent met the requirement, so we signed up. We're usually NCL Haven cruisers and figured our Regent experience would be a fair (or at least fair enough) comparison. At twice the cost of an NCL Haven suite we were anticipating Regent's "luxury" would be remarkable. What we liked: - Our suite was beautiful if a tad cramped, but was very well appointed. - Pre-cruise we requested our favorite wine, gin and tonic, etc., for the suite and the butler stocked them prior to our boarding. Nice. (This is hit and miss - usually miss - on NCL). - Absolutely OUTSTANDING crew! Service was generally superb across all venues throughout the ship. - Appreciated the clothes pressing and laundry service (no "free" clothes pressing on NCL though we receive one free laundry service based on Latitudes Club status). - Butler service (daily snacks, stocking 'fridge, breakfast and dinner room service, etc.) was great. (Very similar to our NCL Haven experiences). - The food was OUTSTANDING and the service in every venue was VERY responsive. The main dining room's head sommelier was wonderful. - My wife thoroughly enjoyed her Wine & Food pairing event (extra charge, but she loved it). - Shore excursions are included in the fare and were quite enjoyable. Loved the Belfast tour and pub visit with singing and Irish coffee. Also loved the Jameson Distillery tour. - No crowding, no long lines, no being jostled by other passengers bellying up to the bar, nobody sneezing into the salads at the buffet, etc. Generally a quiet, relaxed, friendly atmosphere throughout the ship. - Smaller ship = very easy to get around, no long lines waiting for an elevator. - Because there weren't many activities to choose from in the late afternoons and evenings we spent considerable time just socializing with our favorite bartender and waiter (though this was admittedly very enjoyable as these gentlemen were a class-act and we looked forward to hearing about their experiences, hometowns, and families. For us, this was a remarkable bonus!) What we didn't: - The boarding experience was a bit of a clown show. Seemed disorganized, lack of focus by personnel, etc. Reminded me of my many experiences moving through military processing lines. Given Regent's advertising we expected a better initial experience. - A very temperamental espresso/coffee maker. Single coffee shots only. Missed the NCL coffeemaker multiple options. (I know, not a big deal, but an irritant nonetheless). - Regent's primary senior age customers means there are very few events scheduled throughout the day to keep you entertained/busy. We've never had so many mid-afternoon naps on a cruise as we did on this one. - The primary activity in the evenings was dinner and the 9:00 pm entertainment in the theater (we thought the entertainers were very talented and their performances were very nice indeed. - Given the limited entertainment and activities schedule across the day we spent considerable time just socializing with our favorite bartender and waiter once the lounge opened (though this admittedly was very enjoyable as these gentlemen were a class-act and we looked forward to hearing about their experiences, hometowns, and families throughout the cruise. For us, this was a exceptional bonus!) - Unlike NCL lounges Regent's opened late in the afternoon, usually around 5:00 pm. After returning from shore excursions we just napped, read, drank coffee at the coffee bar, walked around the ship, etc., before enjoying our pre-dinner libation. A bit boring. Overall: We enjoyed the cruise very much indeed and are grateful for the opportunity to scratch Iceland from our bucket list. We will also fondly remember the wonderful crew and especially our favorite bartender and waiter, and will be keeping in touch. That said, in holistically comparing this cruise experience against the cost vs benefit equation we will more than likely stick with the NCL Haven, at half the cost, in future cruises.
