Overall, the trip was great. Negatives are few, but pretty major. Steak House was having major inconsistency issues. We went there twice. Both our visits had the same issues. Steak house was very disappointing. Food either over cooked or very under cooked. Just not all that good when it came to even the soups, salads and desserts. Service poor. The kind of restaurant you would never go back to. Main dining room was very good and consistent. The big surprise was the Italian themed restaurant located in the Buffett area at night. It was fantastic. From our great welcoming, seating, service, chats with the on site chef, to final hugs good bye, the place was great. We ended up eating there with new friends about 50% of our dinners. Christmas Goose on Christmas Eve! What a wonderful surprise. Veal to die for! The staff in this restaurant were all so wonderful. Our room was a standard balcony and we must say the rooms are huge. Large Flat Panel TV with a great diverse Movie selection. The walls and floors on the ship must have very good noise buffering as we heard very little noise from neighboring rooms. Bedding was substandard. We have never had such hard/heavy feather/fowl pillows and scratchy heavy blankets. We were very surprised at the pillow and blankets provided. I guess we should have complained, but we are not complainers. Big bathrooms, but showers are pretty small. Lucky for us we are averaged sized people. Our room stewards were lovely and efficient. We had a very smooth trip RT to Hawaii. I was worried about possible rough seas, but we were blessed with flat seas. I wish they would use better quality coffee beans in their espresso based coffee drinks, but you can't ask for everything. They seemed to struggle a bit on the drink service in the show room before the shows. Several times I just gave up and went to the nearby bar to obtain a glass of wine. I discovered that the wine selection was much better and more diverse then what was initially offered in the various dining rooms. After a couple substandard wines during a few dinners, I learned to ask what else they perhaps had available. They always had something better available complimentary. Loved the numerous soufflés offered in the main dining room for dinner dessert. Also best escargot appetizer I have ever had on a cruise. Entertainment was good. A few of the singers/dancers were weak and the sound struggled the first couple shows, but they seemed to get "in the groove" after the first couple shows. This was our first cruise with Regent and we were pleased to see that the fellow cruisers were a very casual bunch, considering how expensive the cruise was. We really enjoyed the lovely white glove tea time served daily with live music. Staff did a nice job presenting and serving a delicious selection of sweet and savory food items. Tea selection was a bit limited. As the cruise went on what little selection of tea offered got smaller and smaller. Did we just drink too much tea on this trip or did someone forget to order up more when the ship was in Los Angeles? Bar Service selection of high end liquors was great. Beer selection was a bit limited. It would be nice if they had a few microbrews or more varieties of beer from around the world. Given most of us on the ship are very well traveled, we would enjoy beverages from around the world. If we had one suggestion to the chef, it would be to spice up the food a bit. We found it a bit bland. We know the customers on the ship are "older", but we still would of liked to have more "flavor" when it came to ethnic foods provided. Other option would be to offer up seasoning sauces that could be served on the side. For example, a curry meal needs a bit of a tasty punch to it, or a side sauce provided to give the curry the needed punch in flavor. Over all we had a great time. The ship is very well run and the staff are great. We had just a couple disappointments. We have already booked an even longer Regent Cruise for 2019. You will not go wrong cruising with Regent.
