    Then vote with your wallet. I am still curious if TA's are warning people that ports/itineraries can change at time of booking.
  2. Pcardad
    I was asking IF your TA warned you about port changes/removals. If you booked directly with Regent, they are acting as your TA.
  3. Pcardad
    Sry sir - I was passing though and didn't realize you were there until I made that post.
  4. Pcardad
    Yours should be just after the extensive refit - you should be very happy!
  5. Pcardad
    Sounds reasonable to me...but I've seen enough of their inner workings to know when we will get more and when to dig my heels in.

    3 weeks in November of 2025 unless they change it. Voyager has 3 weeks immediately following.

    I had a beer in Greenville the other day!

    That's a huge positive - ty. It goes a lot further than requiring a new booking.
  9. Pcardad
    All true...think Regent will address it?
  10. Pcardad
    Very helpful - appreciate it.
  11. Pcardad
    Thank you for sharing this.
  12. Pcardad
    It should be easy to re-book that cruise using the FCC - call your TA.
  13. Pcardad
    If you don't think it will be corrected, don't book. I wouldn't blame you. Voyager goes in right behind Mariner on Nov 26 it looks like....for the same length of time (20 days) so perhaps she is getting the same major workover.
  14. Pcardad
    Regent plans to completely redo Mariner...November 5 - 25, 2025. Give or take.
  15. Pcardad
    True - but we were speaking of dry dock refurbishments. There are qualified people on board to repair most issues....and do so faster than sailing to a port that has availability and is within reach.
  16. Pcardad
    You can possibly re-book it if you are within your final payment window. Have your TA ask.
  17. Pcardad
    By "un-refurbished ship" do you mean a ship in need of refurbishment? That could be any ship sailing to be honest. Regent has a date and a list of extensive changes planned for Mariner that should exceed all expectations...except possibly the timing...but there is a lot of lead time required on these things.
  18. Pcardad
    They need time to evaluate and address an issue. It's not 1 person making the call, it is a process. I respectfully suggest that the end result has proven to be worth the patience required to get there.
  19. Pcardad
    I have roasted Regent before and I am sure I will again. See my recent post on the "other" page where I shared my thoughts about a GM who was too busy or "unavailable" to meet with a guest. I don't expect Regent to tell a guest everything...I wouldn't if I made that call....but I do expect them to make it right in the end...and like you, I have always seen them do so.
  20. Pcardad
    Good will = FCC they are offering. Good luck suing them.
  21. Pcardad
    I would be happy if they could change the oil without destroying your car and charging you for work they didn't do. As I am sure you know, I was referring to the lead time required to schedule. Regent can't just ring up a shipyard and ask if they can bring the Mariner in Tuesday morning at 8AM.
  22. Pcardad
    Covid changed a lot of plans but Mariner is going to get a very extensive refit when she goes in...and other things are in the works.
  23. Pcardad
    Dry docks are scheduled years in advance. It's not like taking your car to Jiffy Lube.
  24. Pcardad
    As I have been saying for years...Regent does the right thing in the end. Sometimes, you just need to be patient and let the situation play out.
  25. Pcardad
    Because there are contracts and Regent has to uphold their end of the contract. There is no sure thing in cruising...especially not on a new ship.
