THE SEVEN SEAS EXPLORER

THE SEVEN SEAS EXPLORER

The public areas of the ship are beautiful. Exquisite art work decorates shelves. The lighting is hand-blown glass especially commissioned for the ship as is the artwork. My pictures don't do it justice. We are blown away. Both of us vow to take a longer trip on this ship sometime in the future. Bill told us that Regent is building another cruise ship that will be ready in 2020 that he thinks may be even more spectacular than this one. There are 337 cabins and a maximum capacity of 750 guests. So far the sailing has been as smooth as glass. We cannot tell when we are at sea or in port!

Our room is extremely well designed. We have more storage than we need - plenty of drawers, lots of room in the walk-in closet not only for our clothes but our suitcases too. There is a light switch for everything - even a special one that will turn on a nightlight so you can find your way to the biffy at night without waking up your partner. The balcony is about the same size as my apartment's holding three reclining wicker chairs and a large table. Too bad we are sailing in a climate that prevents us from enjoying it to the fullest.

We can watch all the latest movies, check our accounts, check out the day's menus, watch a channel that explains the shore excursions, keep up on the news, etc., etc., etc. We could spend all day in our room!

OUR FIRST DAY ON THE RIVERBOAT, TREASURE

OUR FIRST DAY ON THE RIVERBOAT, TREASURE After reviewing the program for today, we both came to the same conclusion. We are going to skip it. The day as planned was to meet at 8 am, depart for Amsterdam at 8:20, visit the Rijks Museum, have lunch on a canal cruise, return to the Rijks for a bathroom break, spend 2.5 hours on our own exploring areas we have already seen or shopping, then 2 hours on the bus to meet up with our boat at the next port. The day began at 8 and ended at 5:30. Just writing about it exhausts me. Last night we were seated with a couple who refer to us as the Champagne Girls - they saw us at breakfast yesterday. Keith and Sue are English and we enjoyed meeting them. They also like to eat late - everyone else goes in as soon as the dining room opens. Sincerely we knew we could sleep in, we finished the evening in the Panoramic Lounge with Brandy Alexander's for dessert - after closing the restaurant. We think we are the only ones on the ship t...

PRIVATE YACHT DAY - PART ONE

PRIVATE YACHT DAY - PART ONE It's not often one can say it but "Boy, Did We Make the Right Decision!" There are only five people on board and we have the boat to ourselves. After breakfast we shopped to use up our shipboard credit - scarfs and jewelry. We have made a dent in our 300 Euros. This is apparently two cruises back to back and we can't spend the last 100 until after Budapest. After shopping in the tiny shop with no competition from other passengers, we changed into our bathing suits and enjoyed the hot tub. We were the only ones on the sun deck and in the pool. Despite being told, the boat was going to be travelling through a heavy industrialized part of the country, we left that part behind in Amsterdam and have been enjoying seeing the rural part of Holland. We are now entering the first of a series of locks so are preparing for our 'light' lunch in the dining room. Looking at concrete walls isn't so great. Looking forward to...
