Yes, just one more week before we will be boarding the Regent Seven Seas Navigator at cruise terminal pier 27 in San Francisco. The Navigator is the smallest of the 3 Regent cruise ships (a new and slightly larger ship will be joining the fleet this summer). Navigator is 566 feet long with a capacity of just 490 passengers and our sailing is sold out.
We had booked a Penthouse C "guarantee" suite which means we did not know our exact suite location. Well, this morning we learned our suite number. Our suite number is 1004, which is an upgrade to a Penthouse B category. Doesn't make any difference as the suites on Navigator are mostly same size except for the Master, Grand, and Navigator suites. Arrow indicates our suite location. Seems we are below the bridge so maybe I can help the Captain with our navigation.
Not sure why, but the cruise lines price cabins/suites by location. The higher the deck the more expensive they are. I do not want to be on the top passenger deck as it is usually just below pool deck and you will be listening to the dragging of deck chairs across your ceiling all day and night (they clean deck at night). Unfortunately, the higher you are the worse the ride in rough seas. If you are subject to seasickness, you will want a lower deck-mid ship cabin.
Rebecca is making her list of clothes to pack next week. She lists what dress or outfit she will wear each night. Beside it she lists what shoes and accessories she will need with each outfit. This is to make sure everything she needs will be packed. Believe me when I tell you she will wear a different outfit each night of the cruise no matter how long it is. That's why we took 13 pieces of luggage on our 4 month cruise around the world in 2010. I tell her no one would know if she wears something twice!
Next post will be on Thursday, April 30, as we will be flying to San Francisco and spending the night in the Intercontinental Mark Hopkins hotel in downtown courtesy of Regent. We board the ship around noon on Friday, May 1st.
Here are more details about our suite. Also because we have sailed 364 nights previously on Regent and are "Platinum" level, we get free laundry service, free unlimited internet, and 9 hours of free phone time.
