We don't book a Regent hotel package when going to FLL, because we always get a free forced overnight from PHX. However, everywhere else we go with Regent we do a pre-cruise package. When I have costed it out, it has always been a fair deal, all things considered; especially with the Concierge packages. We really like the idea of limo transport from the airport to the hotel and hotel to ship. No waiting around for everyone to show up from various flights. We also like the private tours include in the packages.
