The letter states that to "facilitate"..."the final stages of commissioning shore power", "we will be modifying your upcoming cruise" by omitting Acapulo, Cabo and Ensenada, adding PV, a sea day and an overnight in LA. Without even reading between the lines, it seems that additional time in LA is needed for this commissioning. From what I understand from the above posts, Regent eventually came through (as they usually do) with a generous rebate of 500 OBC + 20% FCC. However, since the itinerary change seems to be only to accomplish non-emergent work on the ship (that is, not weather or safety related) that for some reason was not already performed, IMHO it would be more professional for Regent to allow those who are not appeased by the 20% FCC to cancel and get a full refund. Folks have different reasons to cruise, and the missed ports may have been the most important reason for some. To me, Regent is being short-sighted here and may lose some potential long-term cruisers. Just my two cents 🙂

Got confirmation that Mariner dry dock period starts on November 3, 2025. We're on the last cruise before the dry dock (Haifa *hopefully* to Barcelona embarking October 22) and Regent just shortened the cruise by one day to start the dry dock. We have several voyages on the Mariner pre-drydock...wish it was sooner, but we choose cruises only by itinerary.
