Shipboard Credit Use

Seasoned cruiser but new to Regent...First cruise will be on 28 day Mariner Cruise Miami to Vancouver via Panama and Alaska 20 April 2016. We have $800.00 OBC. Can we use it to purchase Regent Choice excursions.

In particular looking at Colon excursion Two Oceans By Railroad. Would appreciate comments from anyone who has taken this excursion.

I can address your first question. You can book Regent excursions online quite far in advance. When you book in advance, you need to pay for them by credit card. Once you get onboard the ship, as long as the excursion is not full, they can cancel the excursion and rebook it using OBC's. You will receive a refund in cash. It is best to book your excursions as far in advance as possible as some of them do become full and you could end up waitlisted for an excursion that you really want.

TC2...thanks for the info. Our account shows that we can book excursions on the 24 August. However, it does not show the excursions on the account when we ask for details of each port nor do we have any idea of the cost for Regent Select excursions. Will should we get that info. Right now we are looking at the excursions listed on Regents website advertising the cruise. It provides no times or costs. Any help you can give will be appreciated.

Panama is not a typical port stop for Regent so they may be a bit behind in finalizing contracts with local providers. The cost and other information should show up in "My Account" on the rssc.com website on 24 August. Excursion bookings will begin at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Savings time. I recommend going on to the website the day that excursions open to insure that you get what you want.

TC2...Thanks again...is there anything else we should be aware of????
