Review summary

Over all very positive. One suggestion I have is to have "grab bars" in the bathrooms. Though I am not handicapped, I do have a chronic back issue and sometimes lifting myself from the toilet was difficult and hard. The toilets are lower than in my home, so that made it a little more trying at times! Excellent assist bars in the shower/tub though.

Embarkation

I am sure this will get comparable ratings. Check in was in theatre and with all the carry-ons and very little room to maneuever between guests and the registration desks, there horrible traffice jams. Perhaps the cold weather caused a change, tho.

Service and Staff

Corizon and her partner (I forget his name) were great and friendly. Also, Efran who was in the Compass Rose and La Veranda deserves a special thanks for his genuine service. He was outstanding and Regent should recognize him!!

OH MY...I blew my travel budget at this port which is my favorite. Bought 2 pieces of native Alaskan art, l a beautiful bentwood carved/paintned box and the other a very unique 36-38" totem. So worth this port call to visit and explore.
