Yes but usually we board in time for their delicious carved rib lunch and an afternoon of cocktails 🍷 lol instead of early evening. I prob have too much time on my hands right now, recovering from minor surgery!!

Yes, true, but i personally don’t think FCC’s are a substitute for actual reimbursement.

Totally agree that it’s best to find your way to have a good time and not dwell on the negatives on your vacation. However, coming from a Regent groupie, I’m going to throw this out there … I think that 10% off in this circumstance is too tight. It is a tad short on the actual time lost on the trip (one day short on a 10 day plus several hours and how many cocktails!) and I think some goodwill couldn’t have hurt for the inconvenience. Maybe 15% or 20%?

How many days in length is this cruise, specifically more or less than 10 days?

We will be on the Navigator for our first time in about a year (and maybe the last time if the selling rumors are true). We are really looking forward to sailing this intimate ship.

Just catching up on this but I’m thinking that it can’t be correct that one is not allowed to order two appetizers? Perhaps the server who advised that had a language barrier that hindered communication?

That was a true lol for me … rice for spice … ha! I’m not thinking that a good curry benefited much from that sweet pudding! Your blog is so helpful, thank you. I’m a nerd, I admit it, but I’m going to start a notebook because I will never remember all this good stuff.

Our world cruise ‘26 itinerary includes Kochi so extra thanks for the great pictures and helpful info in the shorex. We will take your advice and book the tour that you recommended. It sounds perfect for us, especially with an authentic curry lunch! We also have Goa on our itinerary so if I may ask, were you just ready for a break that day?

While we had a fabulous trip on the Grandeur a couple months ago, there were several aspects of the ship that were disappointing. Our cabin was terribly noisy in active seas and the self slamming pocket doors were the worst.

Finally now reading through this wonderful thread. @flossie009 your pictures and descriptions are just fabulous!

We are on the last day to decide between the ‘26 and ‘27 world cruises and we feel we are ready to stay with ‘26. We like the itinerary a little better and we have good friends joining us for one of the African legs. We wouldn’t have even considered ‘27 but the Splendor is our favorite ship. Is anyone else deciding between the two?

Our first experience on Quest was disappointing and we will be using our FCC’s in 2024. We will definitely give SB a fair second chance. I’ve been hoping that it will be a much better experience but this thread and the simultaneous thread on Solis has me thinking that might not happen. @alexandria you might want to try regent.

Bon voyage @GMIAC looking forward to following along with you!

Oh no, I am so very sorry this happened to you @crusin7 Sending all our very best to you and your husband for a complete recovery.

Your travel agent should be able to arrange that for you.
