We have finished up the last of our 3 sea days and they flew by. Since we are heading south and we are on the starboard side of the boat we have the afternoon sun on our balcony so will have to wait until we head back north to spend time using it.

Our routine is pretty much the same. Once we get up we head to one of the public areas on deck 6 and Kathy gets some coffee and we read. Around noon we head to lunch. They do a really cool thing at the pool grill. They have a bunch of hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken and veggie burgers already cooked. They have everything you might want to put on your sandwich and all types of bread and you can make your own meal. They also have some hot dishes and a nice salad bar. You can also order ready made burgers and impossible burgers. Really cuts down on the waiting. The last 2 lunches we have run into Kip and Barbara so we sat with them for lunch. They also have the inside buffet and the restaurant for lunch.

At 1 I play Mah Jongg and we have a good group. As I mentioned the first day we had 4 tables, than the second day 3 and today we had 2. Luckily the people I play with have come every day and they are good players so that is fun. We had a comedian on board for 2 shows and she came and played Mah Jongg with us. Regent has some very nice sets, at least 6, and they all have the Regent logo on the tiles. They are stored in nice leather bags. They also have a bridge instructor on board and several people learning. We play Mah Jongg until 3pm and then I usually find Kathy in the library and I go there to read with her.

Pictures of the library. Usually when I join Kathy in the library she is the only one in there and she sits by the window and sometimes does needlepoint.

We have been on board 4 nights and have eaten at the specialty restaurants 3 of those nights. Last night we ate at the steakhouse called Prime 7 and it was excellent. They have a large variety and I got lobster and Kathy got salmon.

My lobster dinner on the left and the Caramel popcorn sundae for dessert on the right. Since we are a group of 10 we usually split up and have 2 tables. The largest table in the main restaurant is for 8. I guess Regent believes in small intimate group settings.

Regent is also the only cruise line to offer free laundry services to all passengers no matter what room you are in. If you send it out before 8:30am you will get it back the same day otherwise it returns the next day. The other thing that Regent does is a “block” party. They pick a day and at 6pm they want everyone to exit their rooms, even if you have to put a bathrobe on, take your wine glasses with you into the hall and meet your neighbors. The officers come around with wine and snacks while you socialize in the hall. Definitely something different. We skipped 🙂
