In a word....disappointing.  Considering the cost, reputation and expectations, what else is there to say.   For all the fancy advertising, anticipation and prospect, Regent was just not fabulous and failed in too many ways. First, the ship, decor and large suite with sizable balcony met expectations. Second, the staff was mostly excellent, with exceptions. I found the tours to be mediocre, but the fault could have been me. I might be getting too old for these tours.  Walking is a pain and falling is a concern. I just don't enjoy churches, mosques, forts, castles and the like, after riding the bus for a 1:15 hours one way to see a humdrum sight. So called "markets" were tourist traps with every 5th stall selling the same items of local clothing, incense, fake designer purses, cashmere scarves, camel rugs, local fruits and fried donuts...you get the picture. India stops are to avoided. Something is lacking when the best parts of these tours are the rest stops. Thankfully,
