We haven’t seen the cash yet, bur Regent did just refund approx. $69K to us on May 12 for a lengthy cruise we cancelled on April 3 (that’s 39 days processing time, if my arithmetic is correct). The money was partial payment for a Grand Voyage on Explorer leaving Barcelona in November.

The money is now shown as credits on the credit cards we used to make the payments originally. Regent refunded 100% of what we paid, with the exception of a $200 cancellation penalty, which we’ve been told will be a FCC voucher.

The challenge now is getting through to the correct customer service people at the credit cards and ask them to either send us a check or wire transfer the money to our bank. We’re considering using this pot of money for a 2022 World Cruise. Hopefully, politics and the coronavirus will have dissipated by then.

My wife and I will also be blogging from onboard Crystal Serenity for the Grand Pacific Panorama "World Cruise." We'll be boarding in San Francisco on January 24 and remain until May 6 upon return to San Francisco.

Here's the blog site that we just started today --
