    None that are required. Keep backups on phones for safety. Also, the wines offered at meals are not the best available for no cost. Simply ask for the list and select something better.

    I don't understand it either. It makes sense if done in conjunction with a tip/mention on the survey. We often go shopping for the crew if they can't get off the ship and need something or we meet up with them ashore and buy them a round or two of drinks.
  3. Pcardad
    There is zero pressure to tip an additional amount. The fact that some people do doesn't mean others need to. Tipping is neither required, suggested nor prohibited. I just look at it like a restaurant that already has the service charge included in the bill...I will tip extra as I know I will be back there in the future and I want them to do well...but no one expects it.

    Miami luggage handlers.....(ignore the American Tourister part...).
  5. Pcardad
    I stand corrected - too funny!
  6. Pcardad
    Regent should have cruised in warmer climates...what were they thinking?
  7. Pcardad
    Or get to the ship at 230PM when your room is ready. I've boarded at least 30 times in Miami - they are rough.
  8. Pcardad
    You might want to carry it. Miami is notorious for threating your bags like they were in a Samsonite commercial.
  9. Pcardad
    Perhaps special sterilization...it certainly isn't because they thought you would steal them.

    Transfers have been horrible for many years. I experienced what you described and booked a car for every cruise after.
  11. Pcardad
    Enough drivel to warrant two glasses, I'd wager...
  12. Pcardad
    What do you think the differences are between someone who sails on NCL and someone who sails on Regent...and how do you determine who sails exclusively on one or the other (as I assume your comment isn't meant for people who sail both).
  13. Pcardad
    I never leave home without it!
  14. Pcardad
    This is a cruise that is still 2+ years away?
  15. Pcardad
    Yes, there is.
  16. Pcardad
    Not Regent's fault though....Brazil is......well, Brazil.
  17. Pcardad
    There are none - I work with them all. Where I spend my own money should indicate my preferences.
  18. Pcardad
    Just more drama and First World problems...
  19. Pcardad
    There is a difference between criticizing Regent and accusing them of Fraud. They may be, at times, unorganized and have bad communication skills, but I have never seen anything that looked like fraud.
  20. Pcardad
    After every 2 drinks, we walk to a different bar.
  21. Pcardad
    They do. Plus 90% of the crew and they work 24 hours a day.
  22. Pcardad
    They designed the ships prior to a construction bid.
  23. Pcardad
    I think they meant dry storage for supplies...
  24. Pcardad
    Physical changes after. Other changes before. But please remember, I am not an official source and I only share what I hear that won't get anyone in trouble. Subject to me being wrong, of course.
  25. Pcardad
    Perhaps but I know it was discussed very recently. Also, expect BIG changes for Mariner.
