    THE VERDICT!!!

     January 30, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    After almost 3 weeks on both ships here is the verdict:

    Royal Caribbean’s Harmony of the Seas exceeded our expectations. Our Junior Suite was very large and tastefully decorated. You felt that you were at a resort, not on a ship. It was amazing how they managed 6700 passengers. The huge production shows and entertainment were unbelievable.

    Regent’s Seven Seas Explorer is the most luxurious ship we have ever traveled on. Our aft suite was beautiful. The choice of restaurants and food were at the highest level. The entertainment for a ship of this size was terrific. Each night we had a variety of quality shows.

    So.....IT’S A DRAW!

    We totally enjoyed each ship. Depending on ones priorities you should have a great time on whichever ship you choose.    Read more

    The Regent Wave

     January 27, 2018 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    It’s not a wave in the ocean!
    The ultimate in bathroom cleanliness.
    You wave 👋 at the door and it opens for you to go inside. Wave 👋 again at the door and it opens for you to go out.

    Day16

    Costa Maya, Mexico

     January 26, 2018 in Mexico ⋅ 🌬 26 °C

    We drove 1 hour through the jungle to the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins. Along the way our guide spoke to us about the Mayan people, both past and present.
    These excavated ruins were discovered in the 1970s. The ruins of Chacchoben date back 1500 years.
    We did an extensive tour of the site with our guide explaining how each structure fit in with Mayan society.    Read more

    Harvest Caye, Belize

     January 25, 2018 in Belize ⋅ 🌙 9 °C

    We docked at Harvest Caye, a 75 acre private cruise ship destination with water sports and a shopping village.
    We had a 50 minute catamaran ride to the “real Belize”. We then boarded school buses and drove through several villages along unpaved bumpy roads. We saw typical Mayan houses and learned about their history and way of life.
    We viewed extreme poverty and wondered what the contribution was from the Harvest Caye resort to the infrastructure of the surrounding area.
    We stopped at a small village market. The people were friendly and the children adorable.    Read more

    Santo Tomas, Guatemala

     January 24, 2018 in Guatemala ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    We rode an old trolley from the port through various neighborhoods into the town of Puerto Barrios. Our guide gave us the history and folklore of Guatemala.
    Originally the big industry was the export of bananas but now its coffee with 85% of the production going to Starbucks.
    The country is very poor with a lot of slums, yet the people were very friendly
    This tour included free Guatemala beer that was in an “interesting” cooler. We passed.    Read more

    Regent Seven Seas Explorer

     January 21, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    This is the most beautiful ship we have ever been on. The elegant finishes and decor make you feel like you are in a six star luxury hotel.
    Throughout the ship you are overwhelmed with crystal chandeliers, marble, carved wood paneling and crown molding. The furnishings come right out of Architectural Digest.Read more

    Day11

    Key West

     January 21, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    We toured Key West on the Conch Train. It is the southernmost point in the continental US.
    We viewed new town which was built up in the 1950s, then crossed into old town with it’s historic homes and many, many bars.
    After getting off the train, we had a guided tour of the Harry S. Truman Little White House. While many of the restored rooms were simple, it was quite interesting to hear about the events in them which spanned 175 days of his presidency. Sorry but no photos were allowed.    Read more
