Got new email today from a different visa company and that may be encouraging. I have planned alternative trip (non-cruise) from Cape Town just in case.

Sadly, it seems i would lose my Regent fare $$$. A week to go and it's disgusting, geoplotics, almost all politics, it seems today are heavy-handed and lack compassion for all kinds of people, of either stripe or stripes!

Cape Town to Rio, 12 Jan, Voyager

Add me to this mess! I have been rejected 12 times thus far and the last rejection, today, asked for the financial document which WAS APPROVED on an earlier rejectione mail!! Go figure.

I am booked on the 12 Jan 2024 cruise, Cape Town to Rio.

I realize that Brazil is giving a "slap" geopolitically to us and Japan and UK, but Regent's response has been non-extistent--only an apology to my TA. My TA is angry and his Scottsdale clients will be probably wholly informed of Regent's lackluster interventions (uh, non-interventions).

Why would Regent worry? They will have all of our final deposits unconditionally, with no opportunity for a refund--some travel insurance may cover, but most don't.

Disgusted in Tucson...

Milli's other AKA is OskiAZ-

50% looks great--about what we had on Panama Canal cruise and it was super!

Seems possibly related to Stanfurd people chickening out, me thinks!!
