Is there a bluetooth speaker in the suites? I was just onboard in December, but I can't remember now! I was thinking of taking a HomePod Mini with us next week so we can play some music while out on the balcony. 

So I guess you assume your neighbours on both side will love to hear your music. Headphones maybe?

Only refundable credits.

With unused obc , I go shopping with the HR officer and she buys what the crew like and they have raffles all the time with the donated items for the crew. It is quite exciting for them

Omg too funny

Nope

Women, always pack a shawl and men a sweater or jacket

I wonder if you could ask the butler for a lounger or two? Has anybody had experience with this?

Ask your butler. We actually had the couches taken out and got 2 loungers

Surely more festive than the Splendour IMO, not a splash of red anywhere. Think they went for the elegant look which it is, but not very Christmasy. AGAIN only my opinion

Really! What ship

BT W

spa now charges 20% gratuity. A bit much in my opinion considering their prices are out of whack to start with

agree

WOW! 79 dollars! 
How are the blow dryers in the cabins?

I’m wondering if I should bring mine from home. Looks like I will be doing my own hair

WOW that is totally outrageous. It has gone up in gratuity since we were on in July

Of course Regent outsources the Spa but they should know these prices are ridiculous. Having said that, they always seem to be busy!!!

Thank you for your comments.

Sorry we do not drink tea however there was a large box of different teas available at afternoon tea therefore you should get a choice. We did see at least 2 different people putting tea bags into a teapot up in Le Terrace. Staff were very helpful and at coffee connections really hot water was available. 

Claranda.

We really enjoyed the ship. We knew it was an older ship and had read the poor reviews  which is why I posted such a long review. We have been cruising for over 15  years. The cruise was excellent. Was it perfect ..No .. but I have found life is very rarely perfect. The majority of the crew were excellent, we met some lovely people, we were feed, watered and entertained. We enjoyed ourselves. Hope you have a great cruise.
Ping pong.

Another member of staff brought a second sundae out a few minutes later. It was delicious. 
Flossie.

Husband asked Steward for Tote bag. We were told they would be provided later in the cruise. Mid way point he asked reception. Container had been late at port and hopefully they would get a further supply in Barcelona. Never arrived. He was disappointed because he has 3 different pairs of glasses, sun screen, his sun hat, his kindle, sometimes a book and assorted other extras as well as his key card which he takes to the pool. No suitable bags  were available for purchase in the shops. I managed to buy three purses when we browsed so all was not lost😁
Note to self….pack one of the dozen or so pool bags stored in the attic next time …and cut out the hassle. 

They had no tote bags when we were on in July either

We were on the ship in July and never did see the Captain either - poor show

I would never recommend Regent for children there is nothing for them to do

we are Frequent regent cruisers but we took our g’kids on two trips last summer on Princess, they loved it and were busy all day. We not so much as we like the smaller ships but this was for them not us😎

Been on them all. Mariner is still my favourite because of all the above reasons

Thank you. I assume that I will have to pack the bottles I buy onboard in my check luggage as I see no way to get it through TSA.

 

 

 

Yup in packed luggage - we do it all the time. Make sure you wrap it well with a fleecy or something😅
