We appreciate your reassuring comments re your experience on "O". We are Regent "Junkies", but are booked on Insignia on a B2B from Valparaiso to Rio in February. We could not get away early enough to consider Regent and we're picky about suite selection, so segments didn't seem workable. Susan managed to confirm us in the same OS for both legs of the cruise, so we went for "O". Passenger reaction seems generally positive, but your assessment as a Regent regular is particularly meaningful. However, one consistent negative is access to laundry facilities - we'll be on the boat for 28 days - will we have to send out laundry all the time?
