Wow, you had a very nice suite, you are lucky! I agree with your opinion about the general condition of the ship and public areas but our room was really bad. The shower was in the bathtub and old. I'm not the tallest but it was too low for me so I always had to shower bent over. The mattress was completely worn out so after a couple of days I had back and headaches every morning. I asked for another mattress but there was no available at the ship... . For the rest, I found everything very good but you understand that a good bed and bathroom are actually among the most important things. I don't know if I would go with Regent again unless I had a room like you hahaha. The waiting lines for the buffetrestaurant La Veranda was a little odd too for a luxury cruise liner.
