We board Mariner a week from today and I’m not worried. I fully expect to have a wonderful cruise enjoying the hallmarks of a Regent cruise… amazing service, delicious food, and interesting ports and sea days. We were on Splendor earlier this year and I get it that Mariner isn’t going to be as shiny and doesn’t have some of the bells and whistles but that won’t reduce my enjoyment. Each ship has its own character which we enjoy.
