Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Hello all, This is quite a robust response and the information is quite helpful. Thank you also for recommending the Roll Call. We are grateful for your input and stand by for any other suggestions or comments Thanks!
  2. Hello It's beginning to get exciting thinking about Christmas in the Amazon. For anyone who has been to the Amazon or is familiar with that region, is a waterproof rain jacket necessary for that Cruise, particularly for the excursions? We are taking the Amazon Jungle Trek excursion. The balance of recommendations I have read is that a waterproof rain jacket is required for a trip of this nature. We understand that December weather is overcast, hot and humid, and the rainy season begins in December. Would those familiar provide some guidance here and weigh in on this? We would appreciate your thoughts......
  3. I appreciate the rudimentary Economics factor that predisposes a cruise line or any company's motivation to treat customers well. That is in general a universal phenonminon. If you read my post it refers to Regent's customer appreciation of previous customers in this particular instance as compared to other luxury lines that offer generous OBC's automatically regardless of the bottom line at the time, That is how I interpret that behaviour. We sail with Regent because of the superior on board product, overall cruise experience, and their excellence. This is a shoreside decision at their corporate level that makes me wonder. The other cruise lines, in my experience, have not been conditional in providing the OBC depending upon "cabins sold and revenue generated" to date. Their are other layers to this type of corporate decision than meet the eye IMHO.
  4. Hello Booked on Christmas in the Amazon cruise on the Mariner for December 12, 2023. Have sailed with RSCC previously and received on an board credit. When we sail with Silversea we receive a good OBC and recently on an Alaskan cruise with Seabourn we received 1000.00 USD for each 7 day cruise. I am somewhat perplexed as the the lack of acknowledgement from RSCC. It is not that we need the OBC, rather it is the lack of lack of customer appreciation when other lines regularly do so. Could someone shed some light upon this for me as I am confounded. Thanks everyone.....
  5. The complimentary wines on Seabourn Odyssey are uninspiring, IMHO—a mix of New Zealand, Austria, Spain, France, and some Californians. The Californians are the best in my experience. In particular, they are lacking in any credible reds. Others may be having a different experience.
  6. Hi MBP&O2/O I just spoke with Destination Services and am told that the Hubbard Glacier catamaran is limited to 120 persons. Whale watching is limited to 100 persons.
  7. We used the automated passport control kiosk and breezed through embarkation with no problem whatsoever. We did go about an hour earlier than our designated embarkation time. No one bothered to ask about our assigned time, and we boarded immediately. It was all a very smooth immigration and boarding process.
  8. Hi Nancy, The shows have been at 9:30 p.m. in the Grand Salon thus far. There was a special show by a talented and engaging musician that we took in, a show with a magician we did not see, and tonight there is "Songs in the City" with the Seabourn Singers.
  9. I am always appreciative of helpful information and suggestions from fellow cruisers. I am on board Seabourn Odyssey enjoying the 14-day Alaskan cruise Vancouver return that began Friday, May 26/23. Happy to return the favour and answer any queries I may have answers to.
  10. WOW! First, i really appreciate seeing the menu. Thanks for that. The photos are an extra bonus ....to have such research in real time! Can't beat that!
  11. Thank you. i will be on the Navigator so let's hope!
  12. Hello fellow cruisers Is the Compass Rose Restaurant open every day for lunch? Does anyone have a sample lunch menu? Thanks.
  13. Ah, i get it! I like that it is just so civilized and liesurley which is in contrast to our busy world. We are on one of Regent's holiday cruises this year after a few years hiatus and are very much looking forward to it. Thanks for your reply
  14. Hello fellow cruisers, We have sailed many times with Regent and Silversea and have been wanting to try Seabourn for some time now. We enjoy a sit down lunch in the main dining room at times. Does anyone have a lunch time sample menu or examples of what is served at lunch time? Thanks much!
  15. Is lunch served in the main dining room the Compass Rose every day on the Navigator? Thank you Can't wait for Holiday Cruise!
