Going on our first Regent cruise on the Granduer in December. Very excited about the trip and happy to know they have a crew with high expertise.

[@callingallports]

What an amazing way to start your Regent relationship! We do hope you let us know how it was!

Feels like you’re reading press releases. 🥱

[@callingallports]

Sorry if you didn’t enjoy it, though we appreciate you watching. It’s a new format for us so we’re still working it out. (Though we’re definitely not reading off press releases, FWIW. Quite a bit of effort went into researching multiple sources and adding our own takes.) We hope you keep watching as we fine tune the format.
