Regent's Pre Hotel in Rome recently?

[KellyMcB]

Recently booked a Rome-Barcelona cruise (for May) can anyone tell me what hotel Regent has been using recently in Rome?

Thanks much!

We have a hold on a cruise in August leaving from Rome and I was going to post the same question. Hard to make arrangements for pre cruise stay. Amount credited for not having hotel and transfer will not cover one night hotel stay never mind the long transfer to port as Civitavecchia.

Can you tell me what Regent offered to you in the way of a credit for the hotel & transfer?

The last time we were in Rome with Regent they used the Westin Excelsior and Marriott. Both near each other and in a great location. We have stayed at both and found them very good.

Thank you.

Regent Uk have told us that the company is struggling to find Hotels due to the relatively small numbers involved. Typically Regent are not allocating Hotels until approx 4 months before the sailing. We have decided to book an F1 instead of Concierge as we always deviate and do not want to wait until April/ May to book for next August.

We got $200 pp in Auckland for our next cruise in March.  But we also booked 2 years ago so that may be a factor.

Thank you - that helps us make our decision.

We were offered £150. 
We are deviating therefore no transport airport to Hotel. The transfer to Citivecchio is approx an hour. The credit does not cover a hotel and transfer. July is very busy and no Rome hotels has been allocated yet for 2025. Many Jubliee events e.g. youth day with the Pope are happening in July and some hotels are already booked up. There is a risk of waiting for Regent. We booked this time last year and had a hotel allocated straight away.
We would have taken the credit regardless but in the end booked an F1 as we already have priority dinning and excursions and the only other benefit was the 4 devices.
