Unbelievably luxurious, fly fishing excursion was terrible

We (45, no kids, non smoking, travel frequently) loved this ship and this cruise. The ship is gorgeous! Because it's so small, it's easy to get anywhere in 10 minutes or less. Staff is superior, always looking to make your experience a better one. We had a penthouse cabin with a butler. Room was beautiful, so spacious with a lovely balcony. In the end we felt we didn't benefit much from a butler. But our cabin class gave us the ability to choose a cabin and gave us advanced opportunity to choose excursions which was a real treat. Food was amazing. The Compass Rose restaurant was outstanding. Excellent service with wonderful views of the sea and menus which changed completely every day. Tables with beautiful linens-- much fancier than we expected. Beverage package was awesome. High end liquors and wines. Tip: be sure to ask to see the included wine list. They'll open a bottle just for you! Each night a few wines are featured but there is also a list. We had some fabulous wines. Entertainment was thin. This is an older crowd but there are 40 somethings as well. Shows were ok. Live music was ok but ended at 10:30 p. Wish the live piano played longer as well. I think it ended at 9. Lots of wonderful included excursions. Having everything included, even tips, was so nice. While this is an expensive line, you aren't nickel and dimed for anything. Well worth the money.

BEWARE: of the fly fishing excursion which is an extra 800$ per couple. Trip included 10 people in the same location. Two lazy guides, only one of whom had a net. No picture taking! We fished over each other. Newbies to experienced anglers made it tough to get any attention or help. Waders even leaked! Wrote detailed email to Regent and was basically told no one said there would be photo taking and nobody else complained. Several people openly complained during the excursion. Total waste of $800!

Have fun! We'll be cruising here again because of the luxury and small size of the ship (500 guests, 300 staff!). Naturalist was onboard for lectures which was terrific.
