10 Nights Icons Of Europe - Lisbon to London Cruise

A Great time on the Voyager.

Because the Voyager is one of Regents older ships it is still in good shape for its age. The crew are just amazing, from the butler, suite attendants, bar staff, restaurant staff, they are so accommodating, the word no is never an option. Our suite was a Penthouse suite, we used the upgrade offer which we thought was good value. The suite was aft, right at the back of the ship. There was some vibration and noise but we did get used to it. The food on board was amazing, served hot with plenty of choice. The entertainment was very good however, one Scottish comedian didn't go down well, he was rather abrasive. We had 9 sea days but we found we had enough to occupy ourselves, we joined in the games on board. All in all a very good time, embarkation was a breeze. Bye for now. Cheers

Exceptional Service, Great Food and Great Ports

Exceptional service, great food, great ports. Ship, despite being older, is in great shape. Suites are roomy with more than adequate space in bathroom and closet (though not as ideal as newer ships). Staff was excellent - friendly, responsive, anticipating needs, etc. This applies from cabin steward to restaurants to bars. Entertainment was mixed, with some headliners being great, some just ok. Production shows need to be updated more frequently. Itinerary was great. Though I had done several ports before, the South Pacific never fails to impress with its beauty. Shore excursions were generally quite good. Fitness center could be significantly improved with just a few minor changes. Didn't use the spa because the services are way overpriced (outside concession company). Restaurants performed well with regard to service, food selection/quality and presentation. Specialty restaurants are always a treat, including Sette Mari. Embarkation and disembarkation went smoothly. We used our own air so no comment on that or transfers.

It was a fantastic cruise

We stayed at the Intercontinental in Tahiti and took the Regent transfer to the ship. It went well until we got to port and the first bus broke down so the other buses were stuck behind it, but people helped each other get up to the checkin, and we got to checkin which was very speedy. We had a great cruise on the Voyager. The staff was just great and did not know the word "no". The service at "crowded" events like trivia, large numbers of people getting to the Compass Rose at the same time, breakfast before a lot of excursions were handled very well by the crew. The food was very good and a nice variety. We can't stay up late enough for the entertainment in the theater, but we did enjoy the entertainment in the bars, wished the one outside Compass Rose started a little earlier. I don't know percentages, but there were quite a number of people our age or older, yet there are several types of chairs, divans etc that are very difficult for my husband to get out of, so we always looked real careful at the seat before he got down. I am sure we were not the only ones with this issue. Disembarkation was pretty smooth. The only downside was the internet. We could not consistently get a connection and when we got one, it was iffy how long you would have it (even in the computer room) It did not matter if the ship was out to sea or in port, it was never a guarantee.
