I've just returned from a wonderful five night preview of Regent's freshly-refurbished SEVEN SEAS MARINER. Much more to come, but here is the first installment of my blog, Heaven on SEVEN (SEAS MARINER):

Peter,
It sounds like you enjoyed SEVEN SEAS MARINER. I've always felt the RSS ships looked a little cold and bland. Perhaps that is why I never sailed on them. The refurbishment looks like an improvement, but to me there still seems like something is missing from the decor. Of course in person the feeling might be entirely different.

Hi Ernie,

It was hard not to enjoy. Absolutely amazing service, good food, everything included. Small things like a table next to every chaise, bottled water at the gangway, umbrellas, anything you could want or need available. I thought the as built MARINER needed sprucing up and she now has much of what she needs in the soft fittings department.

After Oceania last summer, my expectations were high for Regent, and I was not let down.

All the best,

Peter
