Suzanne, great insight. Probably, to me, the most important, was the description of your private tour to Kandy. Regent did not even offer a tour to Kandy (at least not in advance) which, to me, is a great negative of included excursions (i.e., your only choices are the ones that are given to you).
We will try Azamara some day as we, too, have found we can live with a little less space.
