Ngaire,

Yes, Darlene. I was pretty sure that was her name, but wasn't completely sure. She is WONDERFUL.

In fact, after talking to her about various cruises, including her native New Zealand, she came back to our table with a slip of paper with her handwritten must-do locations to visit in New Zealand.

You could just sense the excitement ebb off of her when talking about not only New Zealand, but other possibilities that Regent can take you.

Unfortunately, my one paragraph on "she-who-must-not-be-named" in my review has captured the bulk of the discussion. The reality is that there are so many more "Darlenes" that we have met on our 21 days on Regent than the one individual cited above.
