The amazing thing about this trip has been the organization and the punctuality.
In a few cases due to weather the ship has had to dock in a different place as it has been too rough to tender to shore. However, alternative arrangements meant no tours were compromised.
It has been the same with disembarkation. The ship docked before 7. Our car was waiting and whisked us off to the Nice airport in 25 minutes.
There were no lines. We checked in, paid for the extra bag and went through security without a problem. Now waiting for our gate to be announced.
Backing up to last evening, the staff show was excellent. The demographics on the ship are very interesting:
Guests: 98% Caucasian
Staff: 35 countries with many from Philippines, Indonesia, india and Eastern Europe.
We questioned a number of staff members and many have been with the company 10 or more years. They work about 9 months a year and get 2-3 months vacation.
The entertainers generally were American Broadway wannabes. They were excellent and I hope they make it.
All in all, a great trip. We will definitely cruise with Regent again!
