Since Regent is going to get a lot of grief about this from smokers, I think it is important they hear from those of us who are delighted. To me, this new policy is one additional selling point for booking a Regent cruise (like the all inclusive policy was). When we stepped into our cabin (877) for our second Regent (Radisson) cruise, our noses informed us the previous occupants were smokers. It didn't ruin the cruise for us but it did annoy. On subsequent cruises we have found ourselves reporting to our cabin silently thinking "I so hope we are not following another pair of smokers." So far, so good. We'll be sporting the same thought on CROSS this November. But then, freedom!!!! Bravo for Regent.
