SireDoime Posted October 1, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I have seen many videos where Regent Seven Seas guests receive a cute little white Regent Teddy Bear and Gift Box. Is this still a Regent Tradition, or has it been abandoned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare wishIweretravelling Posted October 1, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 1, 2021 It's only in the higher-end cabins. I'm not sure which ones, but definitely not Concierge or below. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy The Wanderer Posted October 2, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Never seen one of those, ha ha. Guess what? No named cabins for us, a PH once but that was a long time ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flossie009 Posted October 2, 2021 #7 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Photo of the contents: Photo was taken on a Regent cruise in 2016 (Mariner PHC). I don't know whether the same amenities are still being offered. Hand sanitiser was in the box; maybe now they would also include a face mask 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFLAOK Posted October 2, 2021 #8 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Definitely not given with a PH cabin on our back to back cruises Dec 19 to Jan 20. I would definitely keep the bear. I still have a rubber duck next to my tub that was given to us in a motel that we stopped at just off the highway heading North from Bristol TN after attending a wedding near Asheville about 15 years ago. We moved to Florida since then, and the rubber duck was packed in our POD for the move south. Anything that makes me smile when I look at it deserves to be kept.

SireDoime Posted October 3, 2021 Author #9 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Thank you for confirmations! (It seems no one on Cruiseline/Shipmate sails Regent, as that post is still vacant.) I was booked in a Penthouse A on Explorer, but had to cancel that cruise and take the refund. When I do go I want to splurge for a named cabin like the Mariner Suite. Its the only one in their fleet that has that type of balcony (the Voyager Suite balcony is too small). Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear was perched on top. On the bed was a sealed package containing a cloth Regent mask (sturdy and washes well) and an additional small bottle of hand sanitizer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolechick Posted October 3, 2021 #11 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I always bring home the bear as a gift to my cats for being away from them. They have several. Probably hiding in all sorts of places...🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ronrick1943 Posted October 3, 2021 #13 Share Posted October 3, 2021 The box isn’t a give, the bear yes. We always buy a bigger bear at the gift shop, it’s are dog’s favorite toy. (Yes new remove the eyes before she gets it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SireDoime Posted October 6, 2021 Author #15 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Too bad, I was really going to take that box; I'd figured Regent can certainly afford another one. Hmm, since I'm spending 30K-40K$ on their cruises, I think I just might still take it, even though it's likely they'll charge me rather than call me a thief 😉.

If you're thinking about what"s in that box...the items are probably not costly in the big picture...a shoeshine cloth, small bottle of spray hand sanitizer, a little sewing repair kit, a little l'occitane bag with a chapstick-type item & tiny tube of hand cream, an Emery board and maybe 1 or 2 makeup remover pads. Others may chime in if I'm missing something. Nice to have as a little "special" thing in the suite. We hope they still will have these as we need to make our little team into a "septuplet" when we board Nav in January as that will be the next time we can have a PH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcsdkqh Posted October 7, 2021 #24 Share Posted October 7, 2021 The only difference is the box. You can get all of that crap in any suite category. If the stuff you are looking for isn’t already in your room, just ask. Not sure about the bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
