As usual, Wendy has summarised our trip much better than I could. I do have one random thought about the "problem pasengers" who seem to be on every cruise, thankfully in very small numbers. These are the folks that endlessly complain about everything. The porridge is either too hot or too cold, but never just right for them.

I know: "porridge" is a pretty far cry from the food that is actually served, but in the Goldilocks story I don't think mushroom rissoto was ever mentioned.

These pax are a source of endless stories and gossip between other passengers; often the staff will join in. Sometimes there are informal contests to generate the most vicious nicknames for these poor folks. Great entertainment for all.

Thus the thought occurs that perhaps these are actually actors hired by Regent to offer extra entertainment for us.
