Regent Seven Seas Navigator - Iberian Coast!
April
Pros: All-suite accommodations with generous space, Truly all-inclusive pricing — excursions, premium beverages, gratuities, and Wi-Fi included, Exceptional service from a well-trained and experienced crew, Fine dining in Compass Rose with an extensive and flexible menu, Small-ship intimacy and easy embarkation/disembarkation
Cons: Limited entertainment and nightlife options, Not ideal for families or active cruisers — tours were a relaxed pace
Recommended: No
This sailing was a reminder of how well Regent understands its guests and consistently delivers a personalized, elevated experience. The crew was, without question, the highlight. From the moment we boarded, every interaction felt genuine and attentive. Whether it was a suite attendant who knew our names by day one, a restaurant server who remembered our dining preferences, the service was intuitive and warm across the board. Suites were spacious and comfortable, with walk-in closets, marble bathrooms, and plenty of room to unwind — even in the lead-in categories. The ship’s smaller size meant easy navigation and a peaceful onboard ambiance, without crowds or lines. Dining in Compass Rose was a standout. The customizable menu made it easy to tailor meals to individual tastes, and the quality and presentation were consistently excellent. The itinerary was thoughtfully designed, with a new port to explore every day. There was plenty of time for both half-day excursions and independent exploration, as well as opportunities for full-day tours in select destinations.

Crew not up to par
March
Pros: Despite the title of this review, there were many exceptions where the staff went over and above. Dede at the pool bar, Predrag at the Navigator lounge and pool bar and Marlyn at Compass Rose were outstanding. Also sommelier Donovan went above and beyond. But we had extremely slow service-on at least two occasions we provided our drink/wine orders to no less than four different servers before receiving anything. Food orders were mixed and matched more than once. Several waiters were abrupt/snippy and seemed hurried at times and on island time at others. Not as consistently good as on other Regent cruises.
Cons: My cons are included with the pros above.
Recommended: No
Above. Cruise director Ray is very taken with himself. It’s all about Ray.

Seven Seas Navigator
February
Pros: Excellence as usual from Regent re crew and staff, food and attention that everyone gave us on our last Voyage.
Cons: The Ship (Navigator) which is somewhat dated - our concierge suite showing wear, no modernization to bathroom and furnishing in suite, Also note the 14 or so layers of white paint piled on everywhere to cover up its age obviously.t
Recommended: Yes
We docked next to a "new" Carnival Cruise Line boat which looked outstanding next to ours - just in its newness. We are loyal to Regent only - we just need to travel on your newer vessels to experience the total quality Regent is know for !

Wonderful Trip
December
Pros: The crew
Cons: The ship
Recommended: Yes
It was a rocky first week with the ship rocking due to wind. The Navigator is a 25 year old small ship not originally built for cruising. There is a vibration in the aft part of the ship due to engine and propeller noise. That said, we were treated royally by a crew that is dedicated to making your trip one to remember. The facilities are well done and beautifully maintained. So if you want a great trip with wonderful people and don't mind the motion, this is your cruise ship. Just book a cabin mid to forward.

What a difference
November
Pros: The ship is lovely & small. More Europeans than Americans. Better food than on previous Regent cruise.
Cons: No promenade deck. No outlet in bathroom for appliances. A 5 piece band is not an orchestra.
Recommended: No
The officers on this ship were always out and about and very approachable. I believe that the tone of the ship is set from the top down and the crew was wonderful.
