We are just back from a cruise on the Sapphire Princess and I went preparing to have to tolerate it. Food wasn't Regent, our cabin was lovely but the itinerary was really good for us, we went with really good friends we enjoy, the post cruise we spent a week exploring and visiting good friends...and we had so much fun, we booked the same cruise next year. We hope the economy recovers and business picks up so we can resume our over the top travel too.
