Outstanding experience except for weather which is unpredictable in August.  Well planned itinerary and excursions.  Opinions of other passengers we talked to were invariably positive "surpassed our expectations".

This was my first time on Regent and I fell in love with the product.

I was thrilled to be a host on the Regent Navigator to Alaska. We had 20 Signature clients onboard - small group, very congenial. All went very well.

I sailed on the Navigator in November of 2009 just prior to her drydock for renovations. Overall they are a great improvement. The pool deck now has a wonderful buffet area - about 3 times as large as before which makes a greater variety of food available. There is also an icecream bar with assorted flavors and toppings available. They have also provided more tables to sit at whilst dining which makes it more accessible and comfortable.

The Galileo Lounge has been updated with new furniture and out on the aft there is new furniture with heating lamps directed down from above making it very comfortable- especially for Alaska.

The new Prime Seven dining venue is small but the menu is wonderful as is the food and service. The La Verandah is about the same but with a more varied menu. The only thing I found different is that in the evening it was all buffet whereas before the entree was served from the menu.

The Compass Rose restaurant has been updated with new furniture and looks very very nice. I found the menu more extensive and the quality of food superior to last year.

The shows were excellent and more professional than I have seen in the past. The Cirque production exciting and the best yet on the Regent Line. The aerialists were fantastic - a husband and wife team. The lead singers were wonderful and the dancers well trained. The production numbers were well choreographed however I felt that the show tunes selected could have had a more general appeal to the audience. 

The all inclusive shore excursions were of excellent quality. The Captain kept announcements to a minimum which was much appreciated. One comment I have is that they allow smoking in one area of the Stars Lounge - also very nicely updated - which surprised me. The odor of cigarette smoke is quite unpleasant for non smokers.

The staterooms are very spacious and well appointed with walk in closets and beautiful bathrooms with plenty of storage space.

All of the crew were friendly and efficient and keep the ship clean and comfortable. Our cabin attendant was very good. 60 to 70% of the crew are from the Philippines with the rest from Europe and other countries. The Senior Officers made themselves known and always spoke to the passengers. Captain McNeill is friendly and I think the crew responds to him. The crew show is always fun and he makes a point of being there for the show and to introduce many crew whom you never see. I think they appreciate that.

Regent is a wonderful cruise line and I would highly recommend it especially now that it is all inclusive.  The cruise was just about perfect in every way and I would certainly advise clients to sail on the Regent Line.
