Lady Meer

Our TA got us a reduced fare on our next cruise [2 reserve mini suites) after the prices fell considerably, so it is possible.

Turkey and Eastern Med - April. Standard room B deck is now less than we were offered. i see a well known TA already has 2025 cruises in their brochure which we received last Saturday!

The room we enquired about (pre-registered) is actually cheaper on the website than we were offered.

Wow - that’s going to be costly. I wouldn’t want to send my passport out of the country either. There were a lot of Australians on our cruise - it’s a pity no-one has commented.

We did this trip in November 2023 and (as DaveFr says) only needed a visa for Ghana which Regent did onboard. I checked with all the Embassies in the UK myself before we travelled. Just a note - you may want to take copies of your passport as Regent kept them for the whole cruise.

Not HAL but have just been to Japan on Regent. Everyday we were reminded to carry our original passport ashore at all times as it is a legal requirement - copies would not be acceptable.

Sadly, not in March this year.

No side room this year for breakfast for our Regent tour..

We got off Explorer last Monday - our experience was exactly the same as yours. Couldn’t get into the Business Centre (too many waiting) so didn’t get the survey done.

We’ve been on Voyager and Explorer recently and haven’t been able to do the online survey due to poor internet service ☹️.

I think people who smoke go in expensive cabins too………

In Belfast, the queue for the shuttle was very long so we took a taxi with another couple for 20 euros (fixed price). We were dropped at the City Hall. We asked the driver for a card to call for a return trip. This was on a meter and was 10 euros! There is a service bus which stops just outside the dock gates - quite a few people used that. If anyone is interested, The Duke of York pub is very interesting and worth a visit!!

We had more than one bottle of spirits in our suite which were replaced when empty by the butler. Not emptied by me, I’m a wine drinker! No faff at all!

That's disappointing. When is your cruise?

Just applying for ours - did you get yours in pounds or dollars? We’ve always had dollars in the past. Thanks
