    Regent steak is a drop in the bucket compared to the sheer amount of stuff consumed/wasted on ships with 6K guests. While NCLH makes a ton off Regent guests on a per guest basis, they spend a lot more on NCL than Regent even with the fare disparity and that volume creates opportunities to cut staff, consumption and fuel usage.

    It's OK - my source is the Investor day data that was released as well as quarterly SEC filings. It is easily verifiable online. We are seeing this across the industry...it will be a few years before the cruise lines recover.

    The cuts are across the board....with fuel, staff, quantity of food waste and marketing being the top areas being cut.

    The profit margin is much higher but is still a small part of the overall picture. As long as the rooms are filled, and they are in record numbers, one could argue they might feel it is necessary to create new customers to replace those who will no longer be sailing. This is why they are marketing to much younger guests now.

    I think many would but the issue is that the grass isn't greener elsewhere.

    $300 million over 30 months is $10M a month divided by 32 ships owned by NCLH is about $10K per day per ship......not a big number anymore.

    I have nothing but good things to say about Mike. I heard that Regent eliminated the position as a cost cutting measure.

    Not at all worried as this is bigger than Regent. This is about NCLH survival and prosperity in a market vs. RCL and Carnival. (who are also implementing such changes). Occupancy is at all time highs and I believe that Regent's product is better than the competition. Remember, although I am a paying guest, I travel on all lines for "work".

    Good - this is exactly what they should be doing. Their fist obligation is to their stockholders and, cuts notwithstanding, their occupancy levels are at all time highs.

    Might be a little restaurant surprise...

    It is definitely an age thing. I go to clubs and concerts and stay up until 3AM, etc. Nice that we have choices though....🙂

    I am Titanium and I also travel many other lines because I am interested in things that Regent doesn't offer. I would travel on NCL more with this program.

    You don't drydock (extensive changes) a ship and then sell it. Voyager and Mariner should be getting similar upgrades...but this leaves the fate of the Navigator up in the air.

    This is what I was told when I enquired of a friend on board.
  15. Pcardad
    I didn't accuse you of anything nor did I post any opinion at all.. I asked you to clarify your original post so I could better understand what happened.
  16. Pcardad
    In you first post, you said you chose to sleep in another room because it was quieter. Did Regent move you out of the suite permanently or did you have use of 2 rooms?
  17. Pcardad
    Retrofitting malfunctioning sliding doors in multiple suites is probably a drydock issue. I am sure the ship's senior crew have reported it...not much else they can do.
  18. Pcardad
    I would travel more on NCL if my Titanium status transferred over...instead of RCL or other lines.
  19. Pcardad
    I think his point is that is isn't your issue. There is little you can do. Regent won't talk to you about a guest and Canada won't talk to you about another person. If he is caught, Regent will not help him break the law. He has to fix this on his own...or deal with the repercussions on his own.

    That plus they put on 4 extra crew and had to put them in 2 guest staterooms...loss of revenue.
  21. Pcardad
    The variety of human experience is wonderful. We have not eaten in CR in our last 6 cruises.
  22. Pcardad
    The only source so far is "unofficial comments from crew/staff/employees" and probably will not be attributed. I can't speak for anyone else but I try extremely hard to only post things that come to be.

    April 8 to April 20.
  24. Pcardad
    Splendor has 10 days in April that could be a small drydock and 7 days in June that looks like a charter - I don't see a long drydock scheduled.
  25. Pcardad
    Mariner has a very long drydock late next year and a new restaurant is in the plans.
