Well, rather apples to apples, it was $$ to $$ and after reading PP editorials, sounds like it's pretty nice. It's their smaller ship, which sold me, as well as their pre cruise itinerary. I really didn't want to go on a 2,000+ passenger ship. Anyway, I'm SURE I won't prefer it over Regent, but then again, I'm paying 1/2 the price of what the same trip would cost on the Mariner - for the same scenery!! Soooo, I think that will add to the "enjoyment," we'll see. It'll be interesting. I'm not going with as high expectations as I did with the PG.
Thanks again.
