This was a cruise we chose for our 50th wedding anniversary. It did not disappoint! It was absolutely wonderful. We were truly blessed and treated like royalty. Everything was so organized. I loved the view the most, but I played blackjack, bingo, and saw all the shows. The weather was perfect. This was a very memorable vacation. The room was cleaned 3 times a day and we were left candy, wine, and fruit. Every crew member was kind and friendly.
Pros: Amazing room, impeccable service, wonderful food
Cons: The first stop in Klawok needs improvement

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with 14 of our immediate family members (nine grandchildren). We had a wonderful experience. It was the first time cruising for everyone but my husband and I. No one wanted the cruise to end, the kids had so much fun. The on board activities were perfect to keep all members of my family engaged and busy. The on shore activities were varied and adaptable to everyone’s interests. The food was so good and the waitstaff worked so hard and were so welcoming. The rooms were well appointed and so clean.
Pros: Great food, great service, fun activities
Cons: Needed a longer trip

This was our 3rd trip on the Explorer. The trip was outstanding. The staff from Ma, Ni, Rodney, Ardiana, Marin, Janissa, Sherwin, Norvel, Intel, Pamela, King and Prince, plus our always favorite security folks of Floraben & Rick are always outstanding, plus many more, make the entire adventure a welcoming experience. The atmosphere, fellow travelers, games and Regent points is outstanding and we really enjoy taking our Regent cruises. The only Cons are the ship is looking a bit worn in some areas like the bathrooms and material on seats etc. Really only a small issue as everything else makes up for it. The tours being included is a real plus, but some are too rushed. Not asking for longer excursions, just maybe not trying to stuff too much on a tour. While we are still, relatively speaking, young, some of the folks can't move as fast and its hard for everyone when folks are trying to cover too much ground on a tour Truly an outstanding vacation so please don't take the cons too much to heat as the pros FAR outweigh the cons! Thanks
Pros: Staff - Food - Other travelers - Locations
Cons: Ship wear - Tours

Truly the best cruise we’ve been on. The food was superb and the service was outstanding. Loved the all-inclusiveness of Regent Seven Seas. Also loved the included business class air, especially flying to Tokyo. The pre-cruise hotel stay and tours were perfect to help us adjust to the Tokyo time zone. No doubt Regent is a premium cruise line.
Pros: Food, service, itinerary
Cons: Coffee could be better

The ports in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and the Phillippines are fascinating and beautiful. Learning about new cultures and religions is always a good thing to open up our minds. There were many types of tours available to experience these countries in different ways. The cabins are large and very comfortable, even at the entry level. The entertainment was outstanding and the food delicious.
Pros: It is truly all inclusive, so there are no surprise charges unless you decide to go on a private tour, for example
Cons: It' s hard to find something wrong with all inclusive luxury. But I will say that the internet was slow which bothered a lot of people.

The ship was clean, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, the speaker was informative and interactive, the shows were very entertaining and the laundry service was a valuable asset. Some things Regency could improve is the wine selection. The cruise provides access to pretty much a full bar, but the selection of wines only include a couple that are of a high enough quality to drink. Many of the offerings, to me, were not enjoyable. The evening shows were very good, but they started at 9:30 pm. They ended very late, especially if you had a morning excursion. Suggest a 8:30 pm or maybe even a 9:00 pm start. The tour guides fell short, especially when there was a 1 hr or 1-1/2 hr drive to your destination. Limited information, limited ability to communicate in understandable english. Most of the destinations had printed material once you arrived that would have been very helpful and useful if distributed to the passengers on the bus during the drive out from the ship. Also, the tour guides did not use "whispers" to communicate when on tour, so if you weren't standing next to the guide, you had no idea what they were saying. You were pretty much dropped off and left to figure out everything on your own. One exception, our particular tour guide in S. Korea (Helena) was EXCELLENT.
Pros: service, food, room, itinerary, guest speaker, evening shows, laundry service
Cons: wine selection, tours, evening shows
