  1. Thank you all for your kind advice, and especially Kjbacon as I had not realised how the tables are allocated. Good to know!
  2. Thank you all, I feel much better now. This is what I was expecting, but it is almost a year since we were last onboard and I was worried that things may have changed. Really appreciate the help.
  3. Reservations for specialty restaurants opened on 1 March for our sailing on Explorer at the end of May. On 2 March I tried to make reservations in all 3 restaurants for the first 3 evenings, but was unable to book either Prime 7 or Chartreuse. Our suite specifies that we have guaranteed reservations every night. I have written to Regent reservations, but they tell me there is no availability. Does anyone have experience of this and know whether availability will open up once we are on board? We have sailed with Regent several times previously, in the same suite and never had this problem pre-cruise before.
  4. Thanks for posting Keith - that's a tremendous value.
  5. Lucky you. I’m sure you will be very happy with Symphony. We had a wonderful cruise Sydney round trip. Very difficult to find fault with anything. Hope you have a great time.
  6. It was Bruno when we were onboard a couple of weeks ago

    On our recent Symphony cruise (disembarked 21 Jan) there was a crew member at the entrance to the buffet every single day, encouraging guests to sanitise their hands.
  8. We disembarked today after a wonderful 17 days onboard. The guest lecturers were great, but I'm not sure that they are staying on. I cannot remember all the names, but we had Bill Toone, Peter Price, Karen Bohringer and others - all excellent. Our CD was Russ Grieves - again, we thought he did an absolutely excellent job. I'm sorry that I didn't keep copies of Reflections as I could have given a more comprehensive answer if I had. Although I cannot remember the names of all the lecturers, we found all the lectures we went to to be all worthwhile.
  9. Yes, you're right - we are booked in 784, not 984; it was a typo
  10. Well, we are currently onboard Symphony but nothing further booked at the moment. We are looking at a couple of sailings this year, but if we go ahead we would to have to cancel bookings we have already made with other lines so are weighing up the pros and cons of that - we would be into cancellation penalties.
  11. Honestly, I can't remember, and I didn't keep a note. I do remember that one we enjoyed was the island of Capri - that was great. Can't remember the one we didn't enjoy, nor the reason why. Sorry not to be more helpful.
  12. As has been discussed previously on this board, I suspect that the 250 passenger load will increase over the next year or so. We have been looking at some cruises for later this year and are unable to get our first choice of suite/itinerary on several sailings. This is our 2nd Symphony cruise since the re-start, but during that time we have been on other lines and have also committed to more cruises this year and next (on other lines). If we do decide to bite on the bullet and cancel the other cruises to go on a Crystal Cruise, we will lose a significant amount of money and that's a hard pill to swallow and I'm sure there must be others in the same boat(!)
  13. A little update from a very rocky Tasmanian Sea. We're having a great time onboard Symphony. Weather is disappointing, but it is what it is and we are hoping for some improvement before we get to the Sounds/Fjords🤞 Apart from the weather, all is good. We are a little light on passengers - we were told there are about 250 onboard. We've enjoyed some wonderful food, service and entertainment. The crew go out of their way at all times to be helpful, friendly and to engage.
  14. We are booked in 984 but 901 has become available. Wondering if anyone can give any advice about 901? We've been in 985 before and liked it well enough but preferred the layout of 1015 (not available on this trip). Any help/advice greatly appreciated!
  15. Our ship was docked in Fusina, about 30 mins drive from Venice centre.
