Of course! I was talking about other people.

On our last SS cruise (which was Sep 23), my husband and I had to have an early room service lunch a couple of times because of tour times. We found the room service pizza to be excellent. I'm sure some may disagree, but we really enjoyed it. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I would suggest giving it a try.

It took me a couple of minutes - but I eventually got there.

I wonder why the OP hasn't responded.

Nor do you have to be as good looking, slender, beautiful or stylish as those in the pictures.

My husband and I are fanatics about using the hand sanitizer - what we didn't know until reading this thread (and further research) that it doesn't work on the Noro Virus. Very interesting. I can remember when all the hand sanitizer machines made an appearance (well before Covid) in response to ships having large outbreaks of Noro. Was it just for show? Or, did "they" not know it wasn't a deterrent. Hmmm?

The itinerary floats my boat - thank you very much. If you like going to the same old places over and over again I guess your boat gets floated too. Bon voyage.

Sorry - no extra room. I usually bring about 8 pairs of shoes for a two week cruise. My husband has stopped trying to understand.

The biggest difference is diversity of itineraries. With only two ships, Crystal's itineraries are worn out and boring. At least with SS you can get diversity and range.

Bring a pair of bigger shoes.

I was just looking at a Voyager Feb 2026 cruise. Perhaps I should wait? I don't want to book a cruise only to have the ship pulled out from under me.

Also, you can do expedition cruising anywhere in the world - not just Antarctica. I would do an expedition in the Med and instead of trudging around a city I have been to several times, they could offer something a little more wild and wooly - from snorkeling, to scuba to kayaking, etc. This is all moot of course as Regent does not have an expedition ship on order.

My husband and I have been to Antarctica twice and would definitely consider going again. We love it. Both times we have been on a Seabourn Expedition cruise and would like to try another line. Since we also really like Regent we thought it would be a nice way to go again - something different. I know we can try Silversea, and no, we don't want to do a drive-by.

Good to know. Thank you.

I'm very surprised Regent isn't entering the luxury expedition market. It seems like that is what a slightly younger, wealthy demographic wants.
