We ate in Sette Mari for the first time. We had requested our very favorite eggplant parmigiana. It was delicious! We started with another favorite Spaghetti Puntanesca. Delicious Excellent We were served by Dewi. She is excellent!

The pool has been moderately busy. No chair hogs. The bar has been empty. Service at the pool grill has been the best I’ve seen.

We had beautiful weather for our Palma, Tapas and Flamenco Show excursion. Our guide was pretty good. I enjoyed the dancers. Ole! Le Seu Cathedral We couldn’t enter the church because of Sunday services.

Good Morning Palma De Mallorca

We had dinner in Pacific Rim last night. The food and service were good. Drink service was a bit slow. Pork Ribs Closeup of Ribs I had coconut ice cream for dessert. Excellent!

Good morning Palamos! Gingerbread Cappuccino

Yesterday we had the Seven Seas top tier event. It was held in La Veranda. It was a Honig wine tasting event. The room was packed full! Gudrun had said there were 400 Seven Seas members. 24 Titanium and 4 diamonds. We had dinner in Prime Seven. Food was good. Dessert amazing! crab cake 6 Oz. Fillet A half order of the Popcorn Sundaeae

Hi Pingpong. We were only able to play after dinner last night. The place was crawling with people. I was a little bit lucky but must have felt badly so I gave back all my $$$ plus some more! Cathy did okay. The man next to me was very lucky. He earned a hand pay on the first few spins. So there is hope!

Good news is that the Casino finally opened last night. It was very lively. The guests on this 7 day segment is much younger than the usual Regent guest. Many were out by the pool Wednesday afternoon and had their swimwear on and looked Great! There are a few families with young children who are very well behaved. Miso sea bass Chocolate Soufflé

Good Morning France! We are anchored in Villefranche, gateway to Nice, Saint Tropez, Monaco and Eze. We chose the Monaco and Eze excursion. Our guide was good but spoke softly. It was very hard to hear her during the walking segments of our tour. She did recommend a nice cafe and chocolate shop in Monaco. Yummy! Cappuccino and Pain a chocolate. Monaco Tender area

We skipped our excursion and walked the beautiful boardwalk. We walked into town. It was very picturesque. Speaking of Holiday spirt this is in Coffee Connection

Good morning LaSpezia! We had a very bumpy 89 miles from Livorno.

Tuscan Sunset

We haven’t seen our friend Prashant since last October. I wish we could steal him from the Voyager.

Hi Flgreg. We ate a burger at the pool grill yesterday. Service was excellent. Burger and fries were good. Dinner in Chartreuse last night. Service was excellent and food very good. We tried lunch in La Veranda today. The pasta was not good. It tasted like they opened a can of tomato sauce and poured it on. The service was excellent. The ship was not crowded because most people were on longer excursions. I had a drink in the Meridian Lounge last night. Service and drink were excellent. Compass Rose tonight. We always eat breakfast in our room. It was good. Got what we ordered.

Hi Pingpong1. I’m not sure if it’s working. The casino sadly is closed while we are in Italy.

Look who I see! Voyager

We then went to an inside market. We were served bread with olive oil. We also drank the local drink. Coffee and a watered down rum. Ponce Tasted like hot NyQuil or Lemoncello It was a very nice excursion. I would recommend.

We did a local excursion of Livorno. We had an excellent guide Jo. There was only 16 of us on this excursion. We had a 30 minute bus ride around the city. We then went to the main shopping area. We passed by the local market. Veggies Galore We then tried a local chickpea pie. We could have it plain or with eggplant. We chose the eggplant. They were very busy with many locals. I wasn’t a fan. Way too much garlic for me.

Good Morning Livorno!

We arrived at the port about 11:15 and we were on the ship by 11:20! The fastest embarkation ever. We ate on the pool deck and found one of our favorite waiters Manu. I went and had an excellent facial by Shade. She was wonderful. We ate in Chartreuse tonight. Artichoke tart Steak Tartare Creme Brûlée A very excellent day!

Our hotel room is very spacious. The bed was wonderful. We slept like the dead! Breakfast was in the usual ballroom. The usual breakfast fare. We have a private transfer to the port. Yippppeeee!

Yesterday we went for an early dinner at Piccolo Mundo. It is 2 blocks from the hotel. We highly recommend it. The food and service were excellent. We had pasta, greens and a caprese for dinner. Zabingno gelato for dessert. Chicoria Mozzarella Cacio Pepe Gelato Fellow Cruisers

The flight was pretty good. When we were seated they gave us fabulous menus only to take them away 15 minutes later. I think mine had drool on it. They were replaced with very standard fare. Quite a disappointment. The flight crew were courteous but not overly friendly. The seats did lie flat. They were a bit thin. But perfectly acceptable. They transferred us by bus to the Westin Excelsior it was an hour drive. They said there are 190 Regent guests. Luckily our room was ready. We are on the first floor. Our room We are going to walk around so we don’t fall asleep. Crisy

Good afternoon all. My sister Cathy and I are at LAX awaiting our 1525 LA to Rome flight on ITA. We have low expectations from the airline after reading the reviews. We chose it because it is the only nonstop from LA. We are in the Korean Air lounge. It’s like a ghost town in here. We snacked on fried rice and chicken wings. It was perfectly acceptable. Only Beringer wine. No Sauvignon Blanc only Chardonnay. No thank you. Bathroom is nice. If you have any questions please let me know. If anyone else on this sailing wants to contribute they are very welcome. We should be arriving around noonish Sunday afternoon. We are staying at the Westin Excelsior. The recent reviews have not been too pleasing. Hopefully both air and hotel will exceed expectations. Crisy
