Jour 10
Getting Off And Getting On
20 janvier 2018, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
There were some crowds disembarking from the Harmony but it was not as chaotic as we thought it might be. Our car service picked us up at the Ft Lauderdale Port and drove us to the Port of Miami.
When we arrived at our Regent ship we were surprised to see that the area was empty. We waited about one half hour to board in a comfortable lounge with snacks and drinks. As we boarded the Seven Seas Explorer we were greeted with champagne and then had lunch.
This was the first time we booked an aft suite. It is very comfortable and we really enjoy our deck and the views.En savoir plus

Jour 11
Key West
21 janvier 2018, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 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.En savoir plus

Regent Seven Seas Explorer

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.En savoir plus

Jour 14
Santo Tomas, Guatemala
24 janvier 2018, 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.En savoir plus

Jour 15
Harvest Caye, Belize
25 janvier 2018, 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.En savoir plus

Costa Maya, Mexico
26 janvier 2018, Mexique ⋅ 🌬 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.En savoir plus

I'm pretty sure this is the same site we saw when our NCL ship stopped at Costa Maya in 2006. It sounds like you had the better tour guide though!

The Regent Wave
27 janvier 2018, Mexique ⋅ ⛅ 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.
What will they think of next?En savoir plus

Jour 20
THE VERDICT!!!
30 janvier 2018, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 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.En savoir plus
