Just a few finishing notes...

As I mentioned before, this cruise was somewhat different than any Regent cruise we've been on. According to Elsa, the Social Hostess, they did not have the block party or the big Capt's farewell party because of the big groups that were on board. There was just a different "flavor", but the fine Mariner crew, from Captain Delavault and his officers to our cabin attendant did their very best to see that we enjoyed our sailing.

The AMX function was an invitation to a "Back of the House" tour. The Human Resources Mgr., Deborah Bennett took us to the galley, the bakery, the officers mess, the crew mess & crew bar, the engine room, and the laundry. (They have a big machine there. They feed in wet sheets and duvet covers and it drys them, irons them, and folds them.) We really enjoyed the tour. Much more fun than a cocktail party, don't ya think? ;)

Last night, we enjoyed a great Compass Rose dinner that we had asked Rommel to special order for us. Rack of Lamb for Larry, and Lobster Tails for me. First time I've been served more lobster than I could eat. :)

We really enjoyed cruising with Luke & Paula, and the other Dallasites. Happy we will get to do it again, God willing, March '09 on FUN!

We absolutely LOVE John Barron, the Cruise Director. He is just the VERY best! And Elsa McLean, the Social Hostess, is about the cutest thing you ever saw. They are both so good at what they do!
