Regent Spendor in South Africa!

December

Pros: Culinary Arts Center was so fun! Spa was fabulous, Specialty dining was supurb. Room stewards were great.

Cons: Some shore excursions were dissapointing.

Recommended: No

There are several ways to explore Africa, land packages, yes, rail yes, a cruise. Also, yes!
There is a market for cruisers in Africa, it is so special to sail around the Cape of Good Hope. You are at the bottom of the world! It is incredible!  
There is a trade off for the experience, but a great introduction to those who always wanted to go, but were overwhelmed on where to stay, maybe didn’t want the full, twice a day game drives, If you don’t HAVE to see all 5 of the Big Five, then yes! A cruise may be the perfect answer for you!
We sailed on the Regent Splendor round trip Cape Town South Africa 12/6-12/21. We visited Walvis Bay Namibia, Port Elizabeth, Durban, Richards Bay, Mossel Bay South Africa and our stop in Mozambique was suspended, due to a political uprising.  
There are 5 choices of evening restaurants, Sette Mari, Compass Rose, Pacific Rim, Prime 7 and Chartreuse. We also did a Culinary Brunch class in the Culinary Arts Center, which was amazing.
I had 70 in my group and had a galley tour and a cocktail party. The guests were all so nice and we had fun running into each other around the ship. Our galley tour was not what I had hoped it to be.
 
The ship gave us choices of game drives, or cultural experiences as excursions. the difference betwen staying on as reverve or visiting for the afternoon affects what animals you see, as they are most lively in the early morning and at dusk. But the Rhinos Elephants, Cape Buffalo, Giraffe, Zebra, Impalas, Cheetah & Lion were a sight to be seen! Definately can see the differences in quality of each lodges operations.
Overall a fabulous trip and I would return anyday any time!!

Seven Seas Splendor

August

Pros: All inclusive pricing, large suites, excellent entertainment and service

Cons: Nothing really

Recommended: No

It is a pleasure to cruise on Regent Seven Seas Cruises. The dining is excellent, the service is excellent, and the entertainment has improved significantly. While on board we had the pleasure of seeing Belle Voci twice, female duo opera singers who competed in the finals of BGT. The production shows are are excellent as the talent is surprisingly good. The size of the Category F Suites are 400+ sq. ft. with a walk in closet, two sinks in the bathroom, and a separate tub and shower. Sette Mari is one of my favorite restaurants onboard. It is Mediterranean/Italian and all meals are prepared in full view. Veal chops are amazing. No nickel and diming. Can you imagine your laundry done each day coming back folded and wrapped in tissue or on hangers, no charge...complimentary. The staff is well trained and service oriented.

Over all our cruise with The Regent , SS Splendor, has meet our expectations. My cabin attendant, Rivvy was so awesome and his helper( I forgot her name.) The staff was all very nice and helpful . Leaving the cruise was a little unplanned but know it is your first journey there and understandable. Willie, the excursion ticket person was very patience and nice. Enjoyed his attitude. We did miss an excursion but did get refunded which I felt that it was very nice of The Regent, good customer service.

April 2024

April

Pros: Loved our room. Convenience of everything on the ship.

Cons: Really the only the thing is the seating in the Theatre. Really hard to maneuver around the chairs.

Recommended: Yes

We loved the Splendor. Everything was beautiful! Sometimes we thought the service at dinner was a little long, but was still very good. And coffee was always served after we got our dessert. (Not a biggie….but you asked..haha).

Feb 26 sailing of the RSSCSplendor

February

Pros: Great organization, few or no hitches to be seen. Great dining options. The laundry and pressing feature is a huge plus, everto.ne loves it

Cons: I did see a couple of cut backs on the more expensive menu items and guests also noticeded.

Recommended: No

The ships are always in top shape and the shore excursion format works so smoothly. What a pleasure to see no long lines at the destinations desk with unhappy travelers. Also keeping in mind that this itinerary has a new port each day and are in port usually from 8 am to 6pm.
