  1. Mariner is on the back half of the World Cruise and has the best duo onboard for entertainment and Regent's top General Manager just joined the ship in Singapore. I have friends and family (and myself) onboard on a regular basis and they have all been extremely happy. There have been a few posts about a suction toilet issue back in December (caused by a guest flushing an article of clothing) but it was resolved. Mariner is not as new as EXP, SPLDR and GRDR but has been maintained well. It is due for an extremely extensive drydock in November of 2025.
  2. Good luck - I have booked well over $5,000,000 in cruises for people and there is no line in existence that is without complaint. Sometimes it is just random luck if you have a negative experience - none are perfect.
  3. It depends - it can be similar or different. I've jammed out a lot nights on Regent and many more on other lines and the range of the experiences has varied wildly. I always book private cars now and always fly in a few days early because arriving last minute and being tired or grouchy is no way to start a cruise.
  4. That's pretty much what the contract says....but nobody ready the contract.
  5. A normal Regent transfer is a bus. The porter will put your luggage in. If you want real luxury, book a private car and driver.
  6. $32 bus transfer to central location - Some hotels were walkable or Uber for a few bucks. I am not saying this is acceptable....just that it was possible.
  7. There is a new build coming...but I would be quite sad to see Navigator go.
  8. Now I will play the other side. Earlier in this thread I posted a number of 4 star hotels with bus transfers for low $300's.....it was possible at the time I looked.
  9. Must have been a long time ago as the captain doesn't have the authority to give each passenger $500. He is the ultimate authority on board but Corporate controls the money. Don't get me wrong, if I was Regent I would either give back more money or find hotels and transfers. Unfortunately, in the cruising world, things happen that are beyond the control of the cruise lines...but the amount they offered was insufficient.
  10. Announcing WC swap to a different ship? Announcing some special people joining Mariner soon? Announcing the dry dock changes for Mariner/Voyager?
  11. Let your TA sort it out - that's what they get paid for. No reason for you to stress.
  12. Thank you for the wonderful posts!!!
  13. OPINION - Regent bought a certain amount of bandwidth and by restricting it, they ensure an equal experience for all.
