Yes, the closing of the Observation Lounge for travel agent groups was beyond annoying.  Particularly so given that Passages had in the program "watch the sail away from San Francisco from the Observation Lounge".  People had to watch from a very cold open deck instead.  The bar hours in Passages said the Observation Lounge hours that day were 3:00 to Midnight but the travel agents took over from 3:00 to 6:00.  Three hours in the best place to watch the sail away.

We have a couple that camp out in the Observation Lounge every day who insist that the soft music be turned down to a level where it can no longer be heard.  I find it odd that the staff comply despite the impact on the rest of us who are there enjoying the music.  The staff should suggest the couple go to the library where it is so quiet you could hear a pin drop.  I am seldom the squeaky wheel but when this first happened I asked that the music volume be restored.  However, ‘madam’ promptly went over and insisted it be turned down, which it was, and we left.
 

This was the best show we saw on the cruise.  We were simply observers, not participants.  A man who was by himself reading a book went to Ronnalyn, who wasn't officially on duty yet but was prepping for an inspection, and asked the music be turned down.  She complied but the man left.  FengShui then asked it be turned back up.  She complied but FengShui left.  Then someone else asked Ronnalyn to turn it down.  She complied and we laughed.  That evening I requested she adjust the music so that it was loud in my left ear but soft in my right ear.

We are on the October 3rd cruise.  It will be our first on Regent after many years on Crystal.  Looking forward to meeting you.  Too bad we won't be on board on December 10th.  GONAVY!

Another Crystal cruiser who has just booked a Regent cruise.  We loved Crystal but are looking forward to loving Regent Seven Seas.  We knew every square inch of the Symphony and Serenity.  It is time to explore unfamiliar ships.

These sunrise pictures are interesting.  I have enjoyed a lot of midnight pizza on Crystal.  I have never seen a sunrise.
