The weather has been incredible. We live in the Pacific Northwest and rarely see such perfect weather (sunny -- but not too hot).

We're noticing that the service on the Mariner is exemplary. Probably the best we have had on Regent. This is really a lovely ship -- looks great, etc. Transitioning into a much smaller suite has been a challenge for Dennis. . . I am so tired by the time we get into our suite, it just doesn't bother me. We are in a "shower" suite -- really nice (once you figure out how to turn it on:-)

There are many guests from Australia and England on board. A really nice group of people.

Looking forward to Alaska!
