Regent Seven Seas Mariner Reviews

Our cruise was from Venice to Istanbul in April 2013. We booked a Penthouse Suite, with butler, because the cruise was to mark a special occasion. With business class flights to and from UK the price was pretty high and we were unsure if it would really represent good value for money. We were wrong, it was worth every penny. Do you need a butler? No of course not, but Tedi was a cheerful presence, serving breakfast in our cabin each day, providing canapes, serving dinner when needed and even escorting Madame to a special meal one evening. You expect the staff to be good, but so many of them were really good, looking out unprompted to provide caring, efficient and professional service. The suite was huge, the bed comfortable and the walk-in wardrobe excellent. We went on a free trip every day and all were well and efficently organised. The food was the highlight, although the beef was so fantastic it tended to crowd out some of the other quality choices in my mind. The wines were so good qualitity and one cannot believe how liberating it is to order a drink in the bars and not have to be forever be signing for everything. Needless to say be booked out next cruise onboard with Regent, P&O eat your heart out!

Recently returned from an absolutely wonderful cruise on Mariner which we booked through Iglu. We cannot praise Iglu enough for the fantastic deal they secured on our behalf! The itinerary was perfect for our tastes and has left us with a strong feeling that we will soon wish to use Regent Seven Seas again as it was an unforgettable experience.

We have recently returned from 'The Wonders of the Aegean' cruise on the Regent Seven Seas Mariner.  My wife and I were first time cruisers and were totally overwhelmed by the entire experience. Our cabin, and all the others on this ship, was a balcony suite with marble bathroom, walk in wardrobe, sitting area, bedroom and private balcony. We had twice daily steward service. The catering arrangements were superb, and we were able to get a table for two on every occasion. The food was first class. Evening meals were five course.  Every member of staff that we encountered was courteous and respectful; no request was too much bother. We chose and pre-booked daily free excursions, which were very well organised.  Gratuities and all drinks, whether soft drinks or alcohol, were included in the price paid. We cannot recommend this cruise line enough. We are already looking to book again next year!
