Hi Carolcp,
You didn't mention which ship you will be cruising on. I just looked at the amenities list for a Grand Suite on the Mariner, it was quite extensive. It included a VIP dinner with an officer. I also checked the Splendor and the Grandeur.Grand Suite amenities it was not listed. I have been on many different cruise lines and want to try Regent. I am not a Regent expert, my first cruise with Regent was cancelled due to the Red Sea issues. I was very disappointed but I do understand the situation. So it seems the amenities are ship related. Newer ship, lesser amenities, older ship, more amenities. Take a look at the different amenities. It is eye opening.
