Apologies if this question has been answered somewhere on the Regent board previously.  If Regent changes the final payment date to 60 days prior to sailing, does the final payment date also update/change on your RSSC.com account?

I know you will still get the final payment warning letters...they can't fix that. Let me check on RSSC.COM

 

No - RSSC.COM does not update.

Wow, that's sure stupid, but I would expect nothing less from their incompetent IT department.

Received this a few days ago, both directly from Regent and our TA…ours is also a Baltic cruise and we were not looking forward to making a decision next month. Hopefully it will still happen for both of us!

This is one of the reasons some of us are not booking cruises at this time. There is a clear concern as to if a cruise will go.and if it does go, will the itinerary be even similar to the one we booked?  And with all the airline flight cancellations, can we even get to the cruise? I know that some have called me out fo being negative here. But I think it is being realistic.

The first 10 posts on topic were realistic...the 300 after that....well, you know. 😃

I  know Richard, and I feel all those doubts. But we booked our July/2022 Splendor Baltic trip way back in early 2021. At the time, this was sooo far in the future that we were sure the pandemic would be over.  We wanted something that would get us onto a ship after we came home from Florida in the spring.  At the time we booked we were locked in our Toronto condo, feeling pretty depressed about our lives, I'll tell you. This cruise seemed like a bright light at the end of a long tunnel.  Turns out the tunnel was longer than we thought, and we can't see that light yet.  

 

With luck, Regent will give us until April to make up our minds.  If we cancel, I'm going to be looking at some kind of North American port to take a cruise from.  Perhaps Alaska, Canada/New England, or even the Panama.  We did a Seabourn Canada cruise a few years back that was round-trip Montreal.  For us, that was a train trip, no flights at all.

We were notified by RSSC that our final payment will be 60 days prior to sailing for B2B sailing June 6 from Barcelona. Very happy about this extra time to decide!

I just got the email from Regent.  Final payment is now 60 days prior, which means May for us.  Very relieved.

Our July 15th Voyager sailing had its final payment due moved to 60 days:
