  1. Not in addition to the $175. If you book the deviation you owe an additional $100 and if you don’t book you are out the $75
  2. The ability to request a deviation is 210 days not 120 so if you are requesting you are a bit late and the payment is mandatory. With the new system don’t believe you need permission to contact the air desk.
  3. Depends on the airline. United adds the flights to my ff account immediately upon booking. I have a United booking ewith flights operated by Lufthansa with my Lufthansa booking number and a ff account tells me until flight is paid for cannot see my flights on Lufthansa or book seats while I already have my United seats. there is no absolute depends on the airline s as nd ALWAYS best to work with the airline direct if at all possible.
  4. You ALWAYS want your contact info available to the airline. Believe the only way to do that is with a frequent flyer number as that gets you an login on the airlines site Believe you can add your contact info to the airline site possibly without a ff nimber but good to have that number. and to Ioriva any flight time change allows you to make free changes not 2 hours or more. Not sure about cancellation. I know as have made changes as free as short as a 10 minute flight change. The agent will Lilly to push back but simply state the flight had a change and you want a free change brcause if their change.
  5. I will add IMHO always better to work directly with the airline as working with the cruise line simply delays things by adding another party to th usseye. I always check dhtrectky with the airline and avoid the cruise line for hrlp Had my flight home from Reykjavik two weenn JB s ago cancelled snd never even considered phoning the cruise lie sir desk that booked my flights. Since airlines are third parties uo you cruise line relationship all Ts snd cs require you to work with the airline directly and that is always my plan. The cruise line has to work thru the airline and best to avoid the middle man. Got home a bit Kate but the air line protected me in a different airline still in business class providing a day room and transportation plus meals and the cruise line could not have done any better snd orobsbky wouldn’t have delayed my flight home.
  6. Go to post 2 and follow the instructions both for source and on the website. By the way although I had preferences in the source I did get an email a few weeks before the cruise asking fir my preferences which I told the rep were there but had to repeat. the process is severely flawed but did have the correct items when I boarded. also the source for use onboard is flawed as well but eventually was able to sort of use it but with significant itinerary changes it was mostly useless and in some cases wrong. Not impressed at all with seabourn IT but cruise was good.
  7. Ate you looking for direct or non0staop?? There is a difference. Also what one or more people got as flights does not mean you will be able to get the same so banking on a small sample is relatively worthless. Suggest you go to ITAmatrix and see ust how many non-stops which is what I believe you are asking for flights there are. Guessing very few. And even with available non-stops, they are usually the most expensive so doubtful Regent will provide those.
  8. Just because they offered does not indicate a contract. We will never kno who has it doesn’t have a contract with regent.
  9. Itamatrix gives you multiple ways to search. You are flying what is called open jaw. You need to search multiple flights not one way and not round trip as neither work for open jaw. You will see pricing for multiple airlines as well as both directions and thus you will be able to see using different airlines as well as a single airline so you will see all kinds of combinations. Thus only gives you an idea of regrnt might offer as regent has contracts that you can’t see anywhere sometimes a single airline will have the lowest price while sometimes multiple airlines have the lowest. No rhyme or reason. Hope this helps but you only know for sure once regrnt responds.
  10. While your question about air fare credits is quite logical it is incorrect. Cruise fares including air are identical no matter where in the US your home airport is so credits are the same for each cruise no matter your airport is. Doing it as you suggested would require hundreds or thousands of different cruise fares and credits my thoughts are that regent calculates cruise fares and credits based on averages of costs from mid America thus savings and cost vary depending on where you live and air fares from your location. Some people win and some lose depending on your home airport and cruise embarkation location. YMMV
  11. You or your ta need to ask regent as it differs depending on the cruise location believe you are traveling on a cruise from ant to the US and that used to be $300 pp to add you actually can get the number. Go tyo your cruise on the regent website and make a oretent booking with sir and without sir. The difference is the air credit no matter the location.
  12. Transfer airport to hotel no transfer hotel to ship yes cruise ship to airport no upgrade depends on airline policy. All domestic flights economy. Credit for not taking air yes. Assume concierge or above and credit for that as well. In us likely your hotel credit will cover hotel and transfers so good to decline hotel
  13. Munich to FCO is within the EU so not international. Munich is a large airport and 2,different airlines so may or may not be in same terminal. Best is to Google the Munich airport website to see which terminal each airline is. Your luggage will transit and you will transit so no security issues if same terminsl
  14. Don’t necessarily have to be on the same airline. Being in the same alliance also works quite often.
  15. You have to check with the air line. Depends on the class of the ticket as economy isn’t enough as many different fare classes an airlines differ in that policy.
  16. Yes there are wet landings. Boots are included wore my waterproof pants but never needed them. Some ports we anchored and zodiacs used to get to shire. No tender usage. They will tell you if a wet or dry landing. Never needed the waterproof pants but never know fir the future there are guided hikes don’t believe they were fo 5 hours. Longest I remember was about 5K
  17. Those are some of the questions I would have expected. And Nadalya herself at the end stated that she and the rest of the executive team expected different types of questions. Akso I am aware other town halls had tough questions.
  18. Well actyy it ally title is back to CD. Not the CEO but president Nedalua and her executive team. No CEO fir Seabourn. Not sure what you mean by recognition. She snd the team ate around participating snd talking to people and at functions. I attended a Oresidents dinner snd wine tasting for 20 people. Even had a town hall. No hard questions asked. Really like Nadalya.
  19. Cd is Brian who is new to seabourn. Now on second cruise and not very good IMHO. HOPEFULLY will be better on next cruise.
  20. Are you sure about 3 weeks. Believe it will be 2 weeks as I am boarding today back in Reykjavik in 2 weeks then again in 4 weeks so change over is 2 or 4 weeks.
  21. Believe you are good until 8:30 and if not room service is 24/7 and you can order from the restaurant as soon as you get back so no need to change.
  22. Couple of reasons for me. Don't forget we need to get to Reykjavik on commercial flights so the roller carryon serves the flights those flights and must haves. Second is that we are limited to 50 lbs total for checking up to 2 suitcases on the charter so this adds to the amount we can get to the ship. Some of us are on board for 29 days. Since they have stated that our cheeked bags will go from the shore separately likely on zodiacs as well if a problem they can put the carry on with the checked bags as no plae other than the ship for these to go. Glad you asked as now I will put a Seabourn tag on my carry on so it can be delivered to my suite.
