Hi Chatkat, Claudia & Claudia,
Thanks for your kind words. Claudia, no hurry...you've a lot on your plate.

One thing however, I'd sure love to have a sneaky peek at the wine menu on Regatta. I've heard everything from one extreme to another, i.e. "every wine is double retail and the really high-end wines are even worse"...to "pretty much everything on the menu is 30% over retail."

I wish someone who's into wine and has experience on Regatta would set me straight. Or I can just be patient, and all will be revealed in the fullness of time.

I also heard through the grapevine that bringing along a "surge protector type multi-plug strip" is a good idea due to the lack of plug-ins near the vanity. Come to think of it, I suppose the same could be said of some RSSC staterooms as well.

Well, forgive my ramblings. This is the first time to leave the RSSC family in several years, and I'm having last minute "did I do the right thing" thoughts. I'm sure everything will be dandy, and worries are a part of normal anxiety as any big trip approaches...
