It seems the offerings of The Atlas have changed over the time since it was set up. When we were on the Onward I asked DH to please go to a bar and get me a glass of wine and apparently he went into the Atlas and showed his card and was told that he wasn't able to get anything with that card, so he took it as he couldn't buy anything.

The canapes flossie009 showed are much more impressive than what we were offered on our Explorer this spring. but we were getting ready to go into dinner so we also really didn't need anything to eat.

We flew into J'burg one day, spent the night at the intercontinental next to the airport and flew to Victoria Falls the next.

Really enjoyed the White Train in Skagway. I would also suggest you read James Michener's Alaska (if you haven't already), this makes many of the places you visit more meaningful.

Thank you for taki8ng us along, really an enjoyable read. So, the free nights. Do you take the costs of cruise and get the cost per night and then subtract?? Or are the free nights handled some other way?

I have seen nice restaurants on land will leave tables open if they do not have enough staff to support those tables. This prevents people from leaving at then end of a meal, with poor service, mad and vowing never to return.

I also recommend the Admiral in Copenhagen. easy walk to various commercial and tourist areas.

GOARMY - Thanks for the info on the sake menu. I do not remember being offered a menu for sake, but will know to ask the next opportunity.

A flight of sake would be interesting. Does anyone reading have any experience with this on Regent?

I would also be interested in this.

When our TA books our flights through Regent she always has seat assignment when we review the flights. Have never had to go back and get seats.

Lady of the Nile. If any of the sea days are Sunday there should be a really nice brunch.

No matter the terminology for this, if a passenger shows up to go on a flight and it is not there, they need to recover. I have done flights with Azamara through my TA. If something like this happened I would expect my TA and Azamara to fix it. Something similar to this happened with a different cruiseline but the tickets were booked through the cruiseline by our TA. I found out the morning of the flight home, and our TA worked with the cruiseline to find flights that satisfied us.

After you get on board you there should be a table set up where you can get additional reservations. As you accept your sparkling wine and go thru the mini find your life boat meeting area, just ask someone.

We were on Explorer in April and ate at Pacific Rim a couple of times. And the food was good and the service was great. We asked for some sake and that seemed to be an odd request but they soon got us some very good sake. Our favorite restaurants are Compass Rose and Prime 7.

Is that on all Regent ships?

We have had it both ways. I am sure it depends on what the hotel can handle.

That is better. The time we disembarked Azamara in Miami we were delayed over an hour at the dock due to something at the port and seems it was very slow.

You should be able to find more description of the Excursion. Being that part of the Title says River Cruise I would suspect that the excursion includes a bus ride to the dock where the river boat is and then at least say one hour on the boat and then get back on the bus for the remainder of the tour. The description will give you a detailed description, mine was made up.

If you are parking while on your trip, I would search a ParkingSleepingFly on the web they all have shuttles to the airport and it should be do the terminal you need.

I had to go look at the deck plans, had not really paid attention to Voyager Veranda suites on Voyager being categorized F, G and H. They are all the same size. In fact they are the same size as the Concierge suites.

Our last cruise, I also started ordering eggs "Made to Order" and the food was always delivered hot, with a hot plate. One other thing I would do for warm food, was make sure I picked up a warm plate. (On our previous cruise I had also had mostly cold breakfast food that was meant to be warm/hot)

We were on Voyager (Cape Town to Cape Town) Dec 2022. The ship is great, really a favorite of ours. The suite rooms are great size, it is easy to get every where. We are not night owls, so can't speak to the after dinner entertainment. The staff, service, food and ship are very nice..

We did the Pre-cruise to Victoria Falls. RSS handled everything and it all was great, only issue was the Victoria Falls Hotel wanted to feed us too much.

They have had Stevia "Truvia" when we have been on board. You need to ask for it sometimes. With morning coffee in our suite it would be with the other sugar, but ask for it the first time you order coffee.
