Thanks, everyone (and especially to jhp, who has responded both here and to my queries on Cruise Critic regarding the dress code). It sounds as if a nice contribution to the crew fund, as well as the occasional tip for extra special service, is in order, assuming the service is up to par. And from what I am reading, I will be blown away by the service, and everything else, on Regent.
