We hope your wife is feeling better. We are considering a cruise, on the Voyager, next year. Three questions. 1) Did RSSC ever reveal what the mechanical problem was? Maybe the reason why you did not see anyone working was because the mechanical problem was inside the ship, engine room, etc. 2) Do you know whether the travelers, rolling their luggage down the dock, were “cruise only” or on Regent’s Air Program (AP)? Regent's AP, in our experience (80 nights on Regent), usually provides transfers and porterage, even in the event of an itinerary change. 3) You stated, ““As we all on this, uh, cruise have said, “This is luxury cruising without the luxury.”” Does this statement represent the sentiments of “all” of the travelers or just those you met? Thank you.

@@snackdaddy5770 Hi, first the sentiments were basically all the passengers. Many had been on a dozen or more Regent cruises and said this was their last. Apparently Regent has gone down hill since Norwegian took it over. Second, they never revealed what the issue was. Very bad on their part. The passengers that wheeled their own luggage disembarked because of the delay. They left before arriving at the final port of Barcelona. Regardless of the reason, staff should have assisted with taking the luggage down the gangway and assisted people in wheelchairs and walkers. They did nothing. Cruising a supposed luxury line without the luxury. In recent polling, Regent has been rated the bottom of all luxury cruise lines. Since this cruise we have taken 2 Silverseas cruises and they were wonderful. The true meaning of luxury cruising and we are going on another in January. Regent missed the opportunity with us for 3 cruises since that cruise. Hope this helps you in your decision but there are many better options than Regent.

Great video - thanks for sharing. I've enjoyed all of the videos for the ports on your Athens to Venice trip. I'm curious as to how you would compare the Silver Sea excursions to the ones you have done in the past on Regent?
@GreyManChroniclesАй бұрын
Excursions on Silversea are handled as you would expect on a luxury cruise line. Smaller groups. Personal attention. On Regent we had to meet in a lounge, turn in our excursion tickets for new ones and wait to be called. On Silversea you just went ashore at the designated time and the staff met you on the dock and escorted you from there.

Small world, we were waiting in Barcelona for this ship. I have to agree with you on ship management and how they handled it, we were all huddled into the departure terminal with half the seat for all the people for 5 hours. Once under way we were mostly happy but the delay messed up one of our tours and we lost a port to visit.

I watched a number, but not all, of videos relating to this journey on the most elegant cruise line on the planet. Having sailed on Regent a number of times (never on the Voyager) your review of the food, boarding, etc are almost incomprehensible to me. No doubt, every meal and every dish are not home runs but after sailing for almost 200 days on a number of RSSC ships I don't believe that we've sent more than two or three plates back and have never been served anything that was "inedible". I'm not a loyalist to the brand by any means but I can't help but wonder what the hell happened here.

Steve I will be doing a ship tour video as well as a commentary on the cruise along with Regents response to issues. Many people onboard have been repeat Regent clients and they all indicate Regent has steadily declined over the years to the point this was their last Regent cruise. The motto on board was “Luxury Cruising without the Luxury”. There is a clear issue with the line starting at the top with CEO Andrea De Marco. Stay tuned for more!!
