On the RSSC forum on CC, someone has posted today in the "Regent should now include drinks on board" thread, claiming to be a Regent res agent and giving some interesting info about the ships. Doesn't it seem a bit peculiar that Regent would allow (or not prohibit) its agents from making such comments, even when the comments are positive. It makes him almost seem like an informal spokesman for the line. He also appears to not be a native English speaker - some of his grammar is odd; and he skips a lot of punctuation. (Of course, Ngaire skips a lot of punctuation, too; and she is kind of a native English speaker, if one can count New Zealand and Texas as anglophone locations.) In any event, doesn't it seem strange that a Regent employee would comment openly on these boards? Cheers, Fred (a more-or-less native English speaker, if Montana counts)

PS - I mentioned the non-native English speaking issue because it would worry me if a res agent did not have a very good grasp of the language. Yikes, it would be like dealing with the Bombay (oops, Mumbai) tech support people for Dell, Dish TV, HP, etc. Now that is scary, no?? One could end up with a cruise to New England when one wished to sail to Olde England.
