Back Roader

We sailed on Grandeur for a 7 night Caribbean cruise at the end of February and stayed in a Penthouse suite. When the dining reservations department first opened we had no problem getting a table for 2 at our requested time. Once on board, our butler got us an additional reservation for 2 at Chartreuse which is our favorite restaurant on Explorer, Splendor and Grandeur. I don't think you will have a problem and will enjoy all three specialty restaurants.  

We were on the Grandeur on a Miami to Miami cruise and were in a Penthouse suite.  Caffeine-Free Diet Coke was on the order form that we used before boarding and it was waiting for us in the fridge. It was also available poolside so I don't think you should have a problem. Enjoy your cruise. 

We are on the Grandeur cruise from Miami to Miami on Feb. 27 and Regent put us at the Biltmore for one night. 

We are now on board the Splendor and I can answer the question about the nightlight. There is a built in one in the bathroom. I also plugged in an additional one there as well and it does stay on all night even if all the lights are turned off. We are in a Splendor suite and it has a half bath as well but it doesn't have a nightlight but does have a plug if you want to bring one for it. Thank you to all for answering my questions, they were very helpful. 

Hi Coconutguy, Sorry but while I would enjoy meeting you, we are on the 14 day Miami to Miami leaving on Feb. 3rd. I'm sure you are going to have a memorable crossing. 

Thank you to you all for the advise about the nightlight. It is much appreciated. 

Thank you for your quick reply wishIweretraveling, one less item to pack.

I'm doing last minute packing for our Splendor cruise on Feb. 3rd. We are staying in a Splendor Suite and I wondering if I should pack a Champagne cork to re cork and unfinished bottle or will there be one at the bar set up? Also, should I pack a nightlight for the bathroom or is one provided? Our last cruise was on the Explorer in 2018 and I can't remember. 

Thank you Vizsladog, we ended up booking 1010 when it was offered as an upgrade from our concierge suite on deck 7. It looks like a beautiful suite, hopefully there won't be too much noise coming from the pool deck above. I couldn't find much in the way of comments from pervious cruisers other than yourself and appreciate your answering. 

Vizsladog, if you had the opportunity to stay in suite 1010 again, would you? I'm asking because we have picked the same suite for a 14 day cruise on Splendor.

I've been next door  in 1010 in Explorer -- same floorplan as Splendor.

There was no noise of chairs being moved on the pool deck ... that was my initial concern.

However you see there is an unmarked area above 1008 that is some kind of work area, and we occasionally heard what sounded like a cart being moved above us.  We are sensitive to noise and it did not bother us.  

My husband and I live in Vero Beach and the weather has been lovely. Enjoy your time in Vero before your cruise. We have a group of 8 who will be on the Splendor in February, can't wait. Happy cruising. 

I hope that the hands on classes resume for our February cruise on Splendor. 

We are a group of 10 friends traveling together and our itinerary shows the Conrad as well. Hopefully, the hotel has made some improvements and every Regent passenger who stays there will not be disappointed. Since Regent touts itself as a luxury cruise line, you would hope that they would put us in a hotel that would be one of the top hotels in their home port city of Miami.
