  1. Yes, most if not all newer TV's have ports in the back. In order to use the ports you have to change the inputs in the settings so that is what is blocked plus you have to have the exact same remot that allows settings as the remote on cruise ships is special with limited capabilities.
  2. {Portland PDX is NOT a gateway city for regent. You can pay a fee thin $149 PP and they will start your travels in Portland or you can use Seattle or any of the other Gateway cities which are listed on their website. Please be aware that you are not guaranteed Business class if your fights involve domestic flights to get to your international flight which will be Business.
  3. actually wedging the door open we used trash can does improve the internet significantly. reason is that the repeaters are in the hallways and each suite is fully encased ruth steel so this lets the signal in your suite. Not the best solution but does help on all cruise ships.
  4. Need a full hand if 5 fingers and perhaps more to count the number of times we have been promised better internet service without any improvement. Don’t hold your breath waiting for any improvement.
  5. Yes, sharing with the entire ship and in addition in the case as described, there is a single connection to the ship which the poster is trying to share with 2 additional devices thru the hot spot. This further dilutes the bandwidth because up to three devices are now trying to share a single connection to the ship network.
  6. The ports even if accessible wil be blocked as well as the inability to use the remote to change the settings and input ports.
  7. Thanks and need to add upon boarding had a letter in our suite informing us of the status change. Perhaps Regent should continue that letter process so people unaware of this policy become aware.
  8. The regent policy is that if you are going to reach the next level during a cruise you get the increased benefits on day one. That change in policy was in September 2009. am very familiar as the effective date was day 1 of the cruise we became silver
  9. Don;t believe there is one specific location for all cruises with so many ports in the area. Contacting Regent migh give you the current answer but, it can change before your cruise.
  10. As Carol stated we cannot recommend specific TA's for you but, we can say you are much much much better off if you book with an experienced TA who will work for you, answer your question and even better rebate a significant amount of dollars to you before you travel. You will need to do some work to find the right TA but, with Regent prices, you will for sure save in the hundreds of dollars and possibly thousands. Good luck hunting. As to your question about bringing a game system and connecting to the TV, forget that idea as you will not be able to connect anything to the in suite TV
  11. ;Your husband may be correct as they started with 11 A320S but, currently have an additional neo's which were brand new. You have to remember, the interior of all commercial airlines are specified and bought by the airline not provided by Boeing or Airbus, simply installed at the factory so while most people complain about the manufacturer putting in substandard seating, it is not their fault. This is similar to the fact that airlines buy planes without engines and the airlines like the interiors specify the engines and Boeing/Air bus simply install the customer supplied engines. Airbus A320-200 11 — 186 Airbus A320neo 6 30 186 Deliveries began in October 2019.[19] Airbus A321neo 2 48 244 First delivery (CC-AWT) in July 2022.[20][21] Airbus A321XLR — 14[22] TBA
  12. Update, tried the source app and could see and make my preferrences. How strange that the website does not work yet the App that so many complain about does work????
  13. Thanks for the education njnorseman. Guess where I worked we had a kind of hybrid of what you described. Guess was a kind of adhesion contract even thoush it was company to company. You see we were a Government Prime Contractor where the Ts and Cs were non-negotiable including the flow dows of the Ts and Cs to our Subs. I was both a Prime Contracts Contract Manager and a Subcontract Subcontracts Manager so I saw it both ways. We has no say in the Ts and Cs in our Prime Contracts and the same in our negotiated subcontracts. So while I used the term negotiations it only applied to the Statement of Work and pricing. Can't even include schedule as while that was in the Contracts, it was extremely fluid depending on the Agency, weather, etc. And in our case the Ts and Cs had been in existence for many years and trying to go to court to challenge them would have been a great way to cause our company to deciare bankruptcy and even winning would have ended our contract with the Government This is all why I asd SLSD for his opinion as was not as familiar with the Seabourn Ts and Cs.
  14. All good points. Forgot another clause in the Ts&Cs. And that is about saying no class action law suits. This could mean each agreuved customer might need to file their own lawsuit and each go to separate arbitration. Not a lawyer but was a Contracts Manager writing negotiating etc many contracts in nine digits. perhaps your lawyer husband could look at the Ts&Cs and provide a professional legal opinion before some people spend large sums on cases with little chance of recovery??
  15. While you might be correct if this went to court believe I read in the Ts &Cs require that if filed it goes to arbitration. They have to be served in king county Washington. So no trial. Time will tell
  16. Seabourn like probably all cruise lines protect themselves from issues like this stabilizer issue. Wonder if you have read the ticket contract and Ts&Cs an old adage is that contracts are written to protect the writer Not saying we would be happy with the way this was handled but when booking a cruise one has to be aware of what can occur and the limitations in the contract one agrees to when booking. sorry you can’t accept what has been provided but don’t believe you have a choice. good luck
  17. Certainly hope not. 29 days sounds like a long AA meeting!!!
  18. Interesting, was finally able to get to the page where I could make the described changes and clicked the Pref's link and got mostly a blank screen. Possibly because my cruise is not until June but, no way thee to change or even see any possible Pref"s????? Thanks in advance,
  19. Rather than wait on seabourn suggest you and/or ta contact seabourn. Your cruise is less than 60 days away and have to believe they should have an answer. From what I have read in this thread South Georgia is out for this season
  20. There is no promise/guarantee for any port/stop on any cruise line for any cruise. This is clearly stated in all cruise line Ts &Cs. agree missing South Georgia would not be a good thing but you take your chances with EVERY cruise you book.
  21. Just need to remember that excursions are sometimes cancelled even after departure so availability is one thing but, will that excursion you booked for actually occur. Chances are they will occur but, sometimes they don't. Just like ports you book for may get cancelled at the last minute for circumstances beyond your control.
  22. No way to know as you have to remember that $7k refund covers the entire US and Canada so for instance the fares are less from the west coast. Relatively sure all their air costs are for the average costs for the entire country. and since nonstops generally are higher than multiple stop flights so even if they have contracted rates for your itinerary there might be an up charge to go non stop.
  23. From our trip on Quest a few years ago in mid December temps weren’t cold low 30s the coldest and we wore too much. Especially trudging there the snow we were quite warm wearing mid weight long underwear with long sleeve shirt Most important is waterproof pants and if doing it again just the waterproof over the thermal underwear. IMHO buying all they recommend is overkill waste of money and if walking a lot you will sweat.
  24. What about the days lost going back to Ushuaia ?
