I agree with this! One of the best ports we have been to. Be on deck sailing in - so beautiful.

Both Oceania and Regent pretty well spell out what all is included. Regent includes business air all cabins, and this is stated. Oceania gives prices with or without included regular airfare. I have had trouble determining what is included on Seabourn or Azamara.

Can you wait to see what you get and then deviate if you do not like their offering?

We do not have air travel schedule! I guess, and my TA agrees, Regent is busy rescheduling the Mid East so our will be done at the last possible time - I think it is November 5 or 6. Another post said they missed connection due to a short connection time. We do not know what ours will be. Several previous Regent air trips were perfectly fine, but recently people have been complaining.

We are concierge so will be arriving a day early. According to our cruise documents arriving 1/18 with included "free" Shangri La Hotel embarking 1/19. It is too short of connections that I am concerned about.

All the recent chatter about the flight deviations is getting me pretty worried. We are also on the cruise out of Australia in January and have not gotten our flight itinerary yet. We have never done anything special, and have always had good air provided by Regent despite definitely not flying from a US gateway city. The flight to Sydney will be the farthest that Regent will book us although they were fine with Bangkok and Hong Kong, Of course, now that I think about it, the other long flights were pre-covid.

We have enjoyed them.

Our window to book specialty restaurants opened yesterday, but we forgot! No problem. Just went on and had no problem booking our preferred time and preferred days. (We do always share) Credit due! Mike Moore, if you are monitoring, this was the nicest and easiest web set up we have done so far. Good work in developing. Each date shows what shore excursions you have booked, and when you will be back so no need to look up your schedule.

If we schedule our own air will we still get transfers to ship provided by Viking. What if we have a 3 day pre cruise extension and schedule out own airfare, will Viking still provide transfer to hotel to begin tour.

We recently looked into booking a Great Britain cruise a few months after excursions opened, Paid deposit and then had several days to look at excursions. None of the ones we would really like were still available, so we cancelled and got 100% of money returned,

Just got 2 emails from Regent that our reservations open Saturday at 8:00 PM. Not sure if this was part of a mass emailing or if they read question.

Thank you. Our account only has a date, not time.

When dining reservations open, is it true that means 8:00 PM EST that day (or is it 12:01 EST ?)

There have been situations where upon cruise line offered a 125% FCC or a 100% refund. I believe that was our offer from Viking when a cruise was cancelled during covid times. However, we still took the cash at hand despite later rebooking that same exact cruise.

Thanks. I will look into it

What is STEP? When i googled it nothing that seemed relevant popped up

We have been on several Regent cruises. My husband has never worn a jacket. We find the attire on Oceania and Regent the same.

And taking into account that Regent's included airfare is business class while Oceania is economy, we choose Regent when going that far. When we add business upgrade to an Oceania or Viking trip, Regent always comes in actually less expensive and is totally all inclusive.

Great! I am surprised that the bus was only partially filled. I thought, though pricey, that it would be sold out. Since we have only one port in Iceland, we were a little reluctant to not take a Viking tour and risk missing the boat.

Has anyone done the Viking "The Golden Circle" excursion in Reykjavik? How was it? Did you have trouble booking it? Does this sell out early? We are in a PV cabin so have a fairly early time to book.

Yes It is a post tour for us.

Maybe the Edo Experience is a new offering

Has anyone ever done the Tokyo - An Edo Experience?

Did they accept American $? Not sure how one would acquire a few Krones.
