Ah - our darling Neil. But I digress. I didn't spend much time with Jarl J the week we were on with him - I don't know why! He seems lovely, appears to be very gentle and quiet. Bocci and shuffleboard tourneys must have interfered with my socializing.

I had more of an opportunity to interact with John McNeil on our last cruise (November). This was his first Regent sailing on his own. We both found him to be very outgoing, he loves to mingle, was happy and personable, extremely bright and charming, just great company on the occasions we had to speak with him. You'll be pleased, Doug. Wendy and I looked forward to seeing his smile every day.
