Editorial Summary

The creators provide a comprehensive review of a sixteen night Panama Canal voyage on the Regent Seven Seas Splendor. They characterize the cruise line as an ultra luxury provider that operates on an all inclusive model, covering dining, beverages, gratuities, and many shore excursions in the base fare. The reviewers describe the ship as an exceptionally spacious vessel with opulent, though somewhat dated, French Baroque interior design. While they praise the high quality of the cabins and the exceptional service provided by most crew members, they offer critiques regarding the entertainment and dining. They note that the onboard shows and musical acts tend to skew toward an older demographic and can feel overly conventional. Additionally, they highlight a lack of diverse plant based dining options. The review also covers shore excursions, noting that while many are included, the booking process can be difficult for those with lower loyalty status. Ultimately, the creators conclude that while the experience offers significant value through its all inclusive nature, the brand caters to a specific traditional luxury preference.

Creator's Key Takeaways

the 10 of us had a great time but we disembarked with different opinions on the overall region experience

Splendor is a roomy ship it never feels crowded and especially if you're on a voyage with multiple sea days you'll really appreciate the variety of venues and spaces around the ship

the entertainment on board definitely caters to an older crowd or at least a more genteel audience

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book shore excursions as soon as possible, many months in advance, due to high demand and loyalty status booking priority
βœ“Plan for early evenings as the ship gets quiet after 10 PM, with entertainment winding down

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

High cost of Regent cruises β€” While fares are high, the all-inclusive model means no unexpected costs for food, beverages, gratuities, or shore excursions, providing peace of mind
Entertainment skewing older β€” If you prefer modern entertainment, be aware that Regent's offerings are traditional; however, there is a large quantity and variety of activities for a ship of its size
Limited vegetarian/vegan options β€” Consult with staff early for accommodations, but be prepared for limited choices; consider bringing your own snacks if needed
