Let's start with the things that the Regent Seven Seas Explorer gets right:
1. The ship was phenomenal! From its size, number of passengers, decor, variety of restaurants, spa, room service, two pools, free laundry service, bathroom (specifically the huge shower and soaking tub, 2 vanities) and our spacious balcony - these things were all wonderful.
2. Staff...the sheer number and the ratio of staff to guests was impressive. The staff's genuine desire to ensure you never lifted a finger was sheer delight.
Smaller than I expected a Concierge Suite would be - some areas were tight with just two people. But the bathroom was awesome and the patio was simply fabulous. Storage was also a gift, and I brought clothes/shoes for more than 30 days!
