Update: I emailed Regent and got a call the next day. The agent emailed me details on which cruises the first class domestic air offer applies. I received the details. All covered cruises stated the first class air applied. One must book by Sept. 30. The agent asked me to send back the original email that had rejected my phone numbers for correction. 
 

I’d like to book the Sept 2, 2021 Canada, New England, Bermuda cruise. But I feel that would be a bit risky. I just don’t know.

 

We just booked this cruise! I understand how you feel...

🥺

We also received an email about 2 weeks before we were to have left for our 60th birthday Med cruise, which was cancelled. We had not yet formally requested a refund for our deposit.

 It was from my "Corporate Butler" and it encouraged me to check out some incredible values on 2021 cruises. After connecting with him I agreed to move my deposit and a bit more to a New York to Montreal cruise in September 2021. I did qualify for the Free First Class Air promotion (yay) and I am super happy about that perk!

Would you mind telling us where you are going and when?

Sure...9/9 Rome to Monte Carlo on Voyager (I hope 🤞)

Will Regent change booking info for a customer when there is a TA involved? 

No, they won't, and they didn't. They said they are obligated, by law, to have all changes go through the TA.

Happily, I just rec'v an email from my TA and she said she has just received an "updated" invoice from Regent. We realized at $1300 savings! I am very pleased and now I will just keep my finger's crossed for an actual cruise.

Thanks All!

If you booked onboard a Regent ship, there is a price guarantee (as long as there is still availability in the suite category that you booked)..  Also, if you have not paid in full, you can likely get the new pricing.  However, if you have paid in full, you may be out of luck.  Check with your TA.

Thanks TC, we were not onboard when we booked and no, we haven't made the final payment yet. It makes sense that they would honor the discount otherwise I would just cancel and rebook (plenty of availability, it's 9/9 out of Rome). Frankly, I am not confident that we will sail at all.

TA is hard to reach these days, super long hold times. I guess I will just have to keep trying.

Does anybody know how Regent might handle this discount for an existing booking on one of these 20% off cruises?

I love this thread even though it makes me cry...thanks Mike, for keeping it alive.

I am a breast cancer survivor who decided that life is too fragile to say "maybe next year" anymore. When I started thinking about my upcoming 50th birthday (the day after my DH's 50th birthday) I chose a cruise to Alaska to celebrate. I have had a number of memorable but inexpensive road trip vacations with my young children so I wanted to splurge on this one and do it with my DH, my rock. The kiddos will stay home with Grandma and they are thrilled. When I started searching I found the cruise, which leaves the day before DH's birthday, and it was perfect. It is aboard the Regent Seven Seas Navigator which is about as good as it gets. It will be paid off 3 months before we leave so no stress there. It all fell into place so smoothly I knew it was meant to be. No matter what happens in the future now (and I am hoping for a long one) we will create a memory, a once-in-a-lifetime, a reminiscence that will mean never having to say "maybe next year" again.

I want to encourage any of you that are thinking about doing something like this to go for it. Sad to say, there may not be a next year. You deserve it and I promise you will not regret it.
