This cruise was called a Presidents Cruise - the President of our Travel Agency, Cruise Connections (Sanjay Goel) was the host to @ 300 of us on the Regent Seven Seas Voyager - capacity 700 passengers (but I believe there were only @600 on this journey).
There were special cocktail parties, dinners, gifts left in our cabin at least every other day. Regent always treats us well, but this was above and beyond wonderful.

Special to note: This is our first cruise where Jeffrey brought his mobility scooter and he was able to use it especially on some of our excursions where there was quite a bit of walking (that would have knocked him for a loop), but he was able to zip around and ended up much more human at the end.
Many of the wonderful crew we knew from earlier cruises - it felt like visiting with wonderful family every day. Also made many new friends (within the crew and passengers).
Jeffrey using his scooter to wrangle one of our large suitcases and his backpack in the Rome airport.
We had a full day in Rome prior to the cruise at the beautiful Westin hotel. I walked/Jeffrey used his scooter to visit the Trevi Fountain (it was our 2nd time here) and it was wonderful!
