We were on her that day! My sister and I just got back from a 7-day Alaska Mariner cruise that left Vancouver on June 17. Had a great time. It was the first time I've ever done a 7-day cruise on Regent. We had 730 passengers - 142 of whom were children. I was pleasantly surprised that the number of children did not really impact my enjoyment as much as I had worried it would. There was one family who had children that were somewhat disruptive but not terribly so. However, we did avoid deck 6 & 7 on sea days where they had most of the children's program activities.

The cruise that left from Seward on June 24 had 800 passengers! Lorraine didn't know the exact number of children but knew that it was more than the 142 we had!

Mariner looks great and food was still very good. While we did recognize some of the crew, there are a lot of new faces but service was wonderful. I'll write more later about the details of our cruise.
