Hadn't been on Regent in many years and had a great experience.
Particularly enjoyed freedom from someone trying to sell us something. Even at dinner, no one every pushed us to order wine at added cost. No art auctions and very limited and low key retailing.
Dinners in the Compass Rose were fine and the specialty restaurants were excellent. Being able to dine when we wanted is a big advantage over some of the competition. Breakfasts and lunches on the 11th level were good and, for better or worse, predictable. To keep up with the excursion schedule, we had several breakfasts and one dinner in our cabin and they were delivered as ordered and on time.
We paid for an H guarantee and got assigned this F cabin a few days before sailing. Although there is an entrance to a crew area (used by butlers and room service) right by the door, there wasn't much noise from crew activity. Some noise from the WC in 867.In some sea conditions, the cabin ceiling and wall panels emitted a high pitched chirp or squeal that made sleep difficult for at least one of us.
