Marc pretty much already posted what I was going to post. The dinner in Chartreuse last night was exceptional. One of the best I have ever had. I looked at the menu on the TV in the afternoon and the cheese souffle was not listed! I told Marc I wanted to get off the ship then and there if they didn't have the cheese souffle in Chartreuse any more! Alas, when we got the actual menu in the restaurant it was there, so all was good with the world again. (Can you tell I love that shuffle? I have even been known to order it for dessert). The preparation on Voyager is a bit different from the one on the Explorer, but very good too. The filet with crab and lobster was phenomenal. Lobster cooked perfectly. What a way to start the cruise.

The ship is completely full. I talked to one of the staff today and they said there is not a single cabin free. It feels it too. This morning at breakfast in La Veranda, it was a madhouse. I have never seen it so packed, No tables available, they were sending people out to eat on the pool deck. The staff was really working their tales off, keeping everything going and bussing tables as fast as they could. At one point I couldn't even get a plate, but that was soon remedied. A mad house for sure, but a very efficient one. All the tours came back at the same time and only La Veranda and the pool deck were open for lunch. I just got a couple of slices of pizza and took it to the suite. Marc had to sit at the pool bar to eat as there was no other place available. Did I say it was packed? It is a strange feeling to actually be waiting in lines on Regent, I think a first for me, but they are handling it very well. The ship and cabin are in great shape and staff is wonderful. No complaints here, that is for sure!
