By Simon & Susan Veness We’re paraphrasing an old Ian Dury song here but bear with us. No, we’re not being flippant, but there is a sense that the media is over-dramatising the issue.

Luxury Perfected? Seven Seas Splendor Review
It’s been five years since I last stepped foot on a Regent Seven Seas’ ship.
