Would love to read some replies. Wife and I are going on a very similar itinerary on Regent next April.

My wife and I bought these years ago. They are perfect for travel. https://www.amazon.com/Collapsible-Portable-Backpack-Collapble-Watterbottles/dp/B07RT5DZ2Y/ref=sr_1_9?crid=XW9DRO2W2A11&keywords=collapsible+silicone+water+bottles&qid=1687290575&sprefix=collapsible+silicone+water+bottles%2Caps%2C176&sr=8-9

What an amazing journey! Wow!

Thanks for the comments and advice! As far as the cabin, we wanted the Navigator Suite, and they are all (except one on 11) are on the 9th floor.

I should have included this on my original post. The itinerary is; Bankok, Thailand Ko Samui, Thailand Singapore, Singapore Kuala Lumpur, Malaysa Penang, Malaysa Phuket, Thailand Sabang, Indonesia Colombo, Sri Lanka Cochin, India Mangalore, India Goa, India Bombay, India Fujairah, UAE Dubai, UAE Abu Dhabi, UAE

My wife and I are celebrating our 35 wedding anniversary on the Navigator, April 5 - 25, 2024. We have been on the Explorer, and fell in love with the RSS experience. We have sailed on Crystal, Seabourn, and HAL. We have traveled all over North America and Europe, but have never been to Asia. The size and age of the Navigator doesn't bother us at all, and we both have wanderlust so we make excellent travel partners. We love smaller ships and love the charm of older ships. We secured the Navigator suite 931. I read on here where the 10th floor poll bar and grill are above, so I made sure our suite is not below either. I have read many posts on the ship, but haven't read many on the destinations. I would love to hear some dos/don'ts of the itinerary and particularly the excursions. Any advice is greatly appreciated! LOVE this forum! Edward

Hello all! My wife and I are going on our first Regent cruise Sept 11. Explorer, Athens to Malta. We're a little bummed as it was originally Venice to Malta, with stops in Croatia, Montenegro, etc,... but we're just ecstatic to be traveling again! We originally booked Copenhagen to Stockholm in 2020. Then Covid. We kept the booking and moved it to Hong Kong to Singapore 2021. Nope. So here we are. Cruise time is around the corner! We are well seasoned cruisers, and have many cruises on Crystal and others. Sad to see what's happening to Crystal. But we look forward to Regent! We don't like touring with the masses, so we almost exclusively utilized private tours on all our Crystal cruises. But we are anxious to give Regent tours a chance. Most tours we choose were an added price, but they seem to be more adventurous and are more off the beaten path. We are arriving in Athens 3 days early and 2 extra days in Malta, both with private tours. So our journey will be Sept 7-27. We have learned many tips and recommendations from this board, and for that we say "thank you". I look forward to posting my review upon our return, Sept 27. Edward
