I honestly don't think I could go on a cruiseline again, if their ships didn't have a big table of bottled water out as I get off the ship in port. Need one? Need six? Pick them up and off you go. That's a major, major thing for me, ditto being able to just grab a bottle out of the fridge in my cabin whenever I want one.

We aren't big wine drinkers, so could take or leave that part of it.

Also, you'll find that Regent puts their shore excursions together very well. You won't be crowded into a rail car in Skagway with more people than it needs to hold; you'll be comfortable and spread out.

A lot of it is in the "little things" that keep adding up and adding up.
