Oh well, if Regent has more ships and could do all the itineraries to the places we want to go, it'd be a slam dunk.

We booked this one because we were looking for a cruise for my friend to host a big party later in the year and we found this one while we were planning our spring getaway. We were originally going to drive up north and spend a couple weeks in Washington (our main destination - to visit Fred and Pat), Oregon and British Columbia when we won the 12 day Oceania cruise. We're not retired and we're already away for 6 weeks this year. We had to give up our driving trip. It's perfect. And some friends of ours are on it coincidentally - they were married yesterday so we're on their honeymoon. They're cruising up and spending a week doing what we were planning on doing but they're doing a week of B&B's. We'll have a blast. I already packed a couple bottles of Dom! And HAL is non-smoking in most areas of their ships now too.
