I know that if you Google “Regent vs. Seabourn” or most things similar my article from September 6, 2010 “Seabourn vs. Silversea vs. Regent – Forget Loyalty; Which Provides the Best Luxury Cruise Experience?” is No. 1 on the search page; not only because is covers so much of the information and topics people are interested in,
Seven Seas Voyager Update: October 20th According to Regent, “Seven Seas Voyager is currently in dry dock undergoing repairs which are proceeding on schedule. At this time, should no unforeseen circumstances arise, we fully expect the October 27th voyage to depart as planned.”
Like a moth attracted to a light bulb, I admit I have been checking Cruise Critic and Luxury Cruise Talk message boards to see what the few vocal folks have to say and, now what those non-lawyers have to say about Regent Seven Sea Cruises’ refusal to reimburse the cost of the RegentCare Insurance it

It has happened again: The Regent Seven Seas Voyager has been disabled with a propulsion pod problem and its current cruise (and, it seems clear, an uncertain number of future cruises) has been canceled. The ship is currently in Piraeus, Greece waiting for arrangements to be made at the most readily available drydocking facility in
The past days have been very busy for me, personally, but also very interesting for me professionally. It appears that some of my readers, I guess, read this blog because they perceive me as the Andy Rooney (curmudgeon) of the cruise blogosphere. While I may have earned that reputation through speaking my mind, I want
When Regent Seven Seas Cruises posted a poll on Cruise Critic seeking out preferences as to dress code I smirked. I “knew” the decision has already been made to go casual. That poll was, to be sure, more like a lawyer looking for support for a position than a scientist looking for data. And, alas,
As you know I had an incredible time on the Celebrity Equinox. Celebrity did virtually everything it could do to provide me with an excellent premium cruise experience. The only problem: The lack of civility of some adults and the lack of supervision/discipline of some of the children. As you also know I have been
