April 1, 2010
- Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ Ultra-Luxury Ship Lauded by Cruising Experts -
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 25, 2010 – The all-suite, all-balcony Seven Seas Voyager of Regent Seven Seas Cruises has been voted the cruise ship with the best food and dining room service by members of the prestigious World Ocean & Cruise Liner Society for the second year in a row.
According to the society, when choosing a cruise, “the category of food is often at the top of everyone’s list of importance.” When voting, their members considered food taste, quality and presentation.
Equally important is dining room service. Ships were considered based on the following six criteria (1) ample staff to ensure that there are no long delays in serving, (2) promptness in responding to special requests, (3) ability of the staff to communicate and explain the menu, (4) the staff’s ability to remember guest preferences, (5) promptness in serving, replacing utensils as needed, and (6) general attitude and friendliness of the staff.
“All of us at Regent Seven Seas Cruises share this tremendous accomplishment with the officers and crew of Seven Seas Voyager,” stated Mark Conroy, president, Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “We work hard every day to exceed our guests’ expectations and our food and service is the very best at sea.”

The 30-year-old World Ocean & Cruise Liner Society is comprised of travelers with an impressive cruising pedigree.

Consequently, their voting reflects first-hand experiences, rather than general opinions about ships they have not traveled on.
