We were a small group all on anniversary sailings and thought it was good to buy RSSC since it included everything. Due to inclement weather, the cruise line skipped two tendering ports on a 10 sail! They offered no options, no alternates, just sit in Civitavecchia and Livorno. The way they handled the situation was awful, almost everyone on board was furious. The front desk seemed bothered when we complained and treated us as though we had won the trip. The biggest problem with buying all inclusive and if you buy trip interruption, they will not give a value for the tours missed so it is challenging to get reimbursed for your loss. The price of the tours is built into the total cost and they should have offered something and cooperated with a claim, but they did not. So my recommendation is to sail on a comparable cruise line and buy the tours, if they don't take place, you get your money back.

There were some good parts of the trip, the cabins are nice size and the bathrooms and closets are great. The ship could use some renovation but in pretty good shape but no WOW factors. They have added complimentary washers and dryers which was a good addition. The fine dining restaurants are excellent and the wait staff in those two areas were wonderful. The main dining area was OK, some nice presentations and a good variety of choices. There was a great variety of wine and no problem getting different types at any meal, the sommeliers were fabulous and they hosted a wonderful wine tasting. The spa and exercise facilities and staff were also great. Overall the rest of the crew and officers seemed as though they were missing enthusiasm. We had sailed on Regent before and noticed a sharp difference in attitude, at times we felt as though we were extras in a Zombie movie.

The arrival back to the ship from Rome tours was very nice, most of the crew was outside greeting everyone with cold towels, refreshments and music. The on deck BBQ in Kotor was magical. They hired very good tour guides throughout. However, the disembarkation was terrible, one small van and a long hike to the terminal. Other cruise lines do a much better job and we were shocked at how poorly this was handled. Overall, would we sail on Regent again, we are leaning toward no.
