cruisebugbit Posted July 28, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Just went on to Regent site and the "Already Booked" section has been changed into a "My Account" section similar to what they had in the past. I had to create a new account, which was pretty straight forward, which brought our "history", but had to add our upcoming Sept 25th cruise in order to see booked excursions (which were all there.... Thank my personal God!), etc. Not sure I enjoy being part of a Beta test of a website anymore..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threechicks Posted July 28, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Did you notice that the new system has created new Seven Seas Society numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ka Honu Posted July 28, 2009 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Sorted out the new account thing but when I went to the "Already booked" section I didn't see the usual disclaimer about dining reservations being available 30 days prior to cruise. I'm assuming (hoping) that option will magically appear at the appropriate time. Anyone inside the 30-day window have info on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandhalls Posted July 28, 2009 #5 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I thought it was to appear 30 days prior at midnight EST, if that's the case, it should be there right now since we board on 8/28 and it's not there yet. Guess I'll check again in the AM. Night night Cruise Critic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'll check again in the AM. Night night Cruise Critic! You're one day early. 30 days before August 28th is July 29th. Don't forget that July has 31 days in it. :D Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esther e Posted July 28, 2009 #7 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I had to do that, too. It said we had never cruised with them before. Hmmm, how did we manage to become "Gold," then? I'll keep checking it out and hope it's up to date now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandhalls Posted July 28, 2009 #8 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Oops - but thanks - I'll check again tonight! No worries, we're happy to eat any where on the Voyager since I we'll be on VACATION! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnglerGirl Posted July 28, 2009 #9 Share Posted July 28, 2009 It's a nice change! I just re-registered. I'm a first timer with Regent so I have no SSS but saw where the number would populate in the future. I do not see the dining reservations I made, but I'm not worried. I sail tomorrow already.

travelingduo Posted July 30, 2009 #16 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Thank you so much for your posting about the new website. We don't leave until December 2,so I haven't paid much attention except for the fact that I already filled out the embarkation forms and already booked shore excursions. And, yes, everything (including our new SSS numbers) was there. I never would have even known that there were changes to the website and that I needed to re-register if not for your posting. Thanks!

You're welcome travelingduo, although the main thing is you are still booked on your cruise and excursions...it just looks different on the site now. P.S. We love the Bay Area.......

Just a question! How have you booked shore excrusions so early? We sail Jan 10th, 2010 and nothing is posted as far as excrusions on web site? just curious, I also signed up to my account so am looking forward to seeing all postings. Cabin # assigned but thats all.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabin # assigned but thats all.:rolleyes: This is a good question. The system is not suppose to allow you to book excursions until 120 days out. Travelingduo is 126 days out. Not sure how excursions were booked unless it was during several weeks earlier in the year when the system wasn't working and people were able to book early:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondorner Posted July 30, 2009 #20 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I just registered at My Account and in the process checked the shore excursions for our 12/11/09 sailing. They are not yet available approximately 134 days out -- I have two weeks to wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not yet available approximately 134 days out -- I have two weeks to wait... I would continue to check everyday-as i've posted earlier we are on the 11/18 SYD_AKL leg and we were closed out of a number of excursions in mid June after we had been told by both our TA and Regent that excursion bookings wouldn't be avaiable to book until July 15th!

So, ..., you just have to check back frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ99B5 Posted July 30, 2009 #23 Share Posted July 30, 2009 The website says that tours are "generally" available 120 days before the cruise. As soon as they appear, you can begin to reserve them so you just have to check back regularly. Whereas the dining specifically says 30 days. Apparently the early bird does gets the worm - but only if the worm is tours, not dining reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the varied experience with excursions I'd check back daily for dininng reservations as well because you never know when policy will change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondorner Posted July 30, 2009 #25 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Whoops! Thanks for the heads up. As a new Regent cruiser, I was sitting fat, dumb and happy waiting for August 12! I checked yesterday; I'll continue every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
