Hello all, we have just booked this 2025 WC. For us, the itinerary works - we wanted to go to Easter Island, South America and Japan, and this cruise provides that. If there are any others that have booked, I have one question. My travel agent is telling me that Regent is balking at providing the pre-night hotel room and may not be having the pre-cruise gala, even though it is listed in their marketing material. The comment was, "if they have the gala, you'll be invited". I realize that as we booked the suite category below "concierge", the pre-stay overnight is not included in normal Regent sailings, but the benefit listed mentions a pre-night stay and pre-cruise gala "for all cabin categories". Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance. Becki
