I have included below a generic copy of the Regent Bed Bug Letter. If you are unfamiliar with the Bed Bug Letter just Google the expression. It is a letter known in the hospitality industry to provide a false sense that management actually cares. If you have ever expressed feedback while on a on a Regent cruise regarding dining, shows, excursions, etc. you have likely received the letter below.
"Dear Mr. and Mrs. __________________
