I don't think the Meds ports (or at least most of them) will be affected. Red Sea/Suez are gone as well as Israel/Turkey/Egypt...but the plan is to replace as many ports as possible. But, like anything, subject to change.
VERY glad to hear it. They should bring it back on all ships, not just the WC. Thankfully, there is a lot of open cabins on the 2024 WC so after Regent announces the new route, we might book on.
I just looked in the closet and we have Platinum and Titanium on the bags....I thought I remembered Gold but I could be wrong. Yep, I am wrong. Platinum and up. Sorry for the bad memory.
I have pleather luggage tags (I think) that say GOLD on them and leather tags for PLATINUM and TITANIUM. They came in a grey box. I will see if I can grab a pic.
Yep, you will get tags at Gold. The ones given out at the hotel by the Regent rep are adhesive with blank lines to fill in. You can also get them on board the ship. Neither the adhesive labels nor the ones mailed out by Regent are meant to take the place of a normal luggage tag. They are simply to assist in getting your bag to your room.
Waitlist the ones you want. Keep checking back. Most will clear. Check with Destination when you get on board. Last resort - go to theater at the time they call the excursion and ask for tickets because a lot of people will skip and not turn in their tickets. You will get 95% of what you want.
It has been this way for a year now. I think we all wish they would stop the brochures as well - that is certainly the feedback we have given when asked. Note that you still get proper luggage tags when you move up a level in Seven Seas Society. The temp ones are only to ID your room on board and we put them on before we are driven to the ship from the hotel....not when leaving home. The stick on ones are still available from the Regent Rep at the hotel. I just keep a supply on hand for the next cruise as you can obtain them on board.
