Minor Mystery RE Rssc.com "My Account"
mrlevin replied to KenzSailing's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
I hope you are not in as bad a shape as me. In January of 2023 discount was $11,000 per person. May 8 2024 when Regent rebooked my trip discount is $8,600 per person; i.e., prices have increased $2,400 per person through the various quarterly price increases over the last 16 months. How can Regent charge me the higher price? Finally excursions and shipboard credit got fixed. I have paperwork for my deposits so I think insurance is fine. I am just waiting for TA and Regent to get to the price I had on 7 May which included the additional $3K per person they promised us. -
It will say on your booked cruises page. Should already be open if Silver and above or Concierge and above.

Regent unilaterally canceled my booking on 8 May and sent notice to TA (not me) and created new booking number with new deposit date and without proper traceability on shipboard credit. Is this any way to run a railroad? I sure hope Steve can work wonders with respect to insurance policies. -

Has anyone else had the problem where the booking number has been changed? -

My booking totally disappeared and then the cruise showed up as a different booking number that needed to be deposited within five days. TA said Regent issue; still no fix from Regent; and I am sure that all my booked excursions will be gone even when the correct booking is reinstated. edited to add: Deposit and excursions now show up under new booking number. $600 of $850 shipboard credit also shows up. Attestation forms do not show up but that is minor. I will be really interested to see the breakdown of all my payments; this could be interesting. Date of deposit shown as 20 May 24 whilst initial deposit actually made on 30 Jan 23 which is what I told insurance company; insurance company is going to have a cow. -
Has Regent gone downhill post COVID? Oceania better?
mrlevin replied to caribdvr's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Just returned from 31 nights on Explorer Tokyo - Tokyo - Vancouver; one of the best of my 35+ Regent cruises. Service excellent; food extremely good; and ship (given design flaws) was pretty darn good. Never an issue with internet. Never an issue with excursions (except one description was significantly wrong). Entertainment very good. Officers, staff, and crew all fantastic. Why would I go on Oceania and pay more for similar cabin and food and excursions and share it with more people????? Just my two yen; YMMV.- 38 replies

“A suite will be assigned. . .” edited to add: actually doesn’t say “a suite;” I guess they technically can put us in five different rooms.

I booked a Grand Voyage in a guaranteed cabin almost two years ago; the cruise is four weeks away and I have yet to receive my cabin assignment. This Grand Voyage is five segments; will be interesting to find out how they were able to get me the same cabin for all five segments. Time will tell. Marc

The two new ships will have a fourth reservation only restaurant; it will be an Italian restaurant. La Veranda will be open each evening as a casual buffet restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. -
No, if you choose to afford a big suite you can choose to afford a few dollars for dry cleaning.

It is free if you have reached a certain level; either platinum or titanium.

Excursions Offered on Turnaround Day in Southampton?
mrlevin replied to -Lew-'s topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
I meant Winchester; capital of England before London. Burial spot of Jane Austen. -

Exursions offered were to Winchester (Cathedral and one other stop plus free time) or to Stonehenge. -
Cape Town - Regent Pre & Post cruise offerings
mrlevin replied to flossie009's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Yes. We added Cape Town to Lisbon and then cancelled fall Grand Voyage on Navigator as that became totally redundant. -

mrlevin replied to flossie009's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Susan, these cruises were just announced a few weeks ago; I am sure that anything that was offered to World Cruisers this year with exact same itinerary changes will be offered to those of us on Voyager. We are on Auckland to Lisbon, will you and David be on for one segment or two? Marc -
Mostly Live. Explorer-Tokyo to Vancouver
mrlevin replied to mj_holiday's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
One of the best cruises we have ever taken; officers, staff, and crew fantastic. Lecturers and entertainers wonderful. We won cumulative trivia just icing on the cake. Orchestra one of the best. Alvi and geovanni behind the bar even more fantastic. I love Regent.- 92 replies

I agree. It is far better not to speculate than to have to constantly explain the context of your speculation; I will stop speculating. -

mrlevin replied to Pcardad's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
As I stated earlier, this is purely conjecture based on my time onboard, my observations, and comments I have heard over the years from both crew and fellow passengers. We sailed Voyager a number of times including twice in its maiden year. I have definite opinions regarding the three older ships based upon my time aboard. -

I am definitely NOT “in the know.” I just share my opinion in order to generate discussion so that I may learn and thus evolve my opinion. -
