They wanted to finalise the film for showing early in 2023, and needed time to edit & add the voiceover 2. The film crew wanted to be home for Christmas They did the same with the 2021 version (with John Baron). That was filmed on the two cruises preceding the Christmas cruise.

You won't be alone - but of course, we'll be behind a different cushion 🙂 We were cringing too, but realise that it's difficult to portray those small details that make our Regent cruises so special. For the most part, you've just got to experience it first hand I think! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third reason: the Christmas cruise is full of revenue passengers, and they didn't want to give up suites for free to the film crew on that one! 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janecambridge Posted January 29, 2023 Author #32 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I laughed at the jigsaw puzzle scene. Someone is being paid to make sure the puzzles that are open on the table are neat and all the pieces there!!😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigelc Posted January 30, 2023 #38 Share Posted January 30, 2023 On 1/22/2023 at 11:25 PM, Huggsy said: I watched the recent programme about Splendor and ended up fast forwarding most of it - an absolute cringe-fest containing fabricated melodramatic nonsense. The constant reference to price tagging food items, ornaments, lighting, etc, was embarrassing. I would like to have seen more of the ship rather than the cheesy wooden performances of the senior staff, and the narration was toe curling. I could not agree more - I have sailed with Regent a number of times and did not recognize what was presented in the Channel 5 programme aired last week - We are on Splendor at the end of March 2023 and I hope the 3 L's have moved to other ships lol. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flossie009 Posted January 30, 2023 #39 Share Posted January 30, 2023 We have just caught up with the first episode of the C5 documentary .............. Oh dear!! ............ if someone thought this was a good way to market Regent in the UK then IMO they were sadly mistaken. The Christmas episode (available on YouTube) did seem a little better.

Pack Leader Posted February 4, 2023 #42 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Well yesterday’s programme was a bit less cringeworthy and actually gave a little bit of insight into Regent as a cruise line. Hopefully the next few shows will gradually improve and help differentiate RSSC from other cruise lines and highlight the ship, dining, shore excursions etc and move away from being a soap opera, like the first episode.

We did many jigsaws on our Explorer cruise in Dec and many times there were one or two pieces missing at the end If I had a dollar for every time someone went past and joked about taking a piece I’d be able to fund my cruising habit for a year - but thankfully most were only joking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flossie009 Posted February 14, 2023 #45 Share Posted February 14, 2023 We boarded Explorer yesterday and found that Lizzie is the Social Hostess. At the introductory show last night she showed herself to be a highly accomplished singer; as is the Assistant Cruise Director, Marsha Lawson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack Leader Posted February 14, 2023 #48 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I wondered what had happened to the next episode but found I could download it. Really, this should have been the first episode. Much more professional. Behind the scenes with food, entertainment team. No cringing this episode.

Techno123 Posted February 14, 2023 #49 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Just got back from skiing so watched episode 2 last night - definitely an improvement on episode 1 and reading Stefken's post above looks like they are getting better 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pack Leader Posted February 15, 2023 #50 Share Posted February 15, 2023 For context just watched The Cruise, following Virgin Scarlett Lady, narrated by Sheridan Smith, currently on its second series on UK TV. Oh dear! Makes me think of Benidorm at sea. Completely cringeworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
