Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I've got a cruise coming up and have completed all of the pre cruise information on my account. Only thing left is the online check-in. There is a date showing when this begins but no time --- unlike when shore excursions and specialty restaurant reservations opened --- which I believe was 8:00 p.m Eastern time. I received my luggage tags a few days ago and it just says online check-in any time from 21 days to 4 days before embarkation. I called Regent and one representative thought it opened at 8:01 p.m. at the 21 day mark and, when I called again, I was told any time beginning 21 days before embarkation -- right after midnight at the 21 day mark. I don't necessarily need the first slot for boarding on embarkation day, but don't want a time later in the afternoon either, so want to do the online check-in as early as possible to get what I hope will be a good time slot. I have read that people show up early regardless of their designated time so not sure how important this is, but I have not sailed Regent in several years, so looking for current information on how this works these days. Anyone with current experience that could tell my how it worked for them regarding the opening time to do online check-in would be appreciated. Thanks
  2. Since these cabins are under La Veranda, can anyone who has been in one of these cabins let me know if there was an issue with noise from La Veranda from above. Also, it appears from the deck plan that there may a crew station across cabins 1070 and 1071 (?), so I might want to avoid those cabins as well. Did not find anything on the "Seat Guru" thread for these cabins, so any information anyone could provide would be appreciated. Thanks.
  3. Regarding the soundproofing issues between the cabins --- this is the second thread where several posters have made comments about hearing conversations / televisions, etc., on either side of their cabins. I'm beginning to think this is more the rule rather than the exception and, outside of earplugs --- if this is bothersome to folks -- I don't see what the short term solution is here. Actually, I don't think Regent would do anything to address this anyway --- too costly and disruptive to their sailing schedule. I will be on the Grandeur in a few months so will see what the problems in this regard might be. I will be among those bringing earplugs just in case. Just writing to confirm this is not a "one off" in just a few cabins and to set my expectations accordingly.
  4. Upon disembarking in Rome, I am assuming there will be plenty of taxis available to take us to the airport (actually a hotel just adjacent to the airport --- early flight next morning). I am also interested if anyone has used a reliable private transportation service from the pier to the airport they could recommend as well. Also, ship is due to dock in Rome at 6am ---- any estimates on the latest we could leave the ship? Thanks for any information you could share.
  5. Thanks for the replies....this is just the information I needed....
  6. I would like to book a cabin on Deck 8 but notice that many of them are under the pool area and Terrace Cafe. I once had a cabin under the pool deck and the noise from the moving of chairs, etc. was pretty constant and annoying. No experience with a cabin under restaurant or buffet area. I noticed on the deck plan for the Nautica that cabins 8000 and 8002 look like a good choice to alleviate noise from above as it appears that the Spa and Card Room are above these cabins. If anyone has stayed in either of these cabins I would appreciate your comments regarding any noise issues from above. Thanks
  7. I see some people are mentioning specific cabin numbers regarding the noise issue...just curious if anyone in cabin 727 has had any issues with noise from cabins on either side?
  8. I have been following this thread in anticipation of our upcoming Grandeur sailing next year and appreciate everyone's input regarding the ship. It sounds really nice and quite spectacular in many respects. One concern, however, are the comments about the thin walls between the cabins and people being able to hear the conversations on either side of them. While not a deal breaker, per se, we had this issue on a Navigator sailing we were on several years ago and it was (at least for me) somewhat annoying. Is it really as noticeable as many are saying? Not discounting what others have said, but if it is a problem throughout the ship between the cabins I just want my expectations to be adjusted accordingly. I have not heard of this being mentioned on the Splendor or Explorer so was surprised to hear of it on this new ship. Thanks for any additional feedback anyone would like to offer.
  9. I agree this is confusing. The cruise I am looking at is the same price as the Black Friday sale (extended to December 15 with the normal T&C's plus $1000 OBC) as the save 35% non-refundable promotion w/out the OBC. No way would I book this new promotion at the current offering. Too many things could happen this far out if I was looking at a cruise many months away (which I am) even with the insurance I always get. Their latest promotions always seem to be getting extended, so I wonder how may people are taking advantage of them.
  10. Could anyone who has disembarked in New York tell me how it went? I hope somewhat better than Miami, which can oftentimes be problematic. We are on a sailing that arrives at 7:00 a.m. in New York (I believe at the Manhattan terminal). Allowing for customs clearance, etc., does a 2:00 flight from LaGuardia airport sound reasonable? If I looked at the right source, it appears we are the only ship disembarking on that day. Thanks in advance for any information that anyone can provide.
  11. Does anyone have an idea when 2025 itineraries will be released? Perhaps someone on current Serenity sailing has an update? Thanks in advance.
  12. Does anyone know if this time frame is also for Endeavor sailings as well? I was hoping to see the balance of Spring 2025 Endeavor sailings as well as Summer 2025 soon. Thanks
  13. We will be completing our online check-in in a few days for our upcoming cruise. I remember reading awhile back that we had to upload a recent picture to complete online check-in in order to select a boarding time and get our boarding passes. Can anyone tell me if this is still correct? I also seem to also remember reading recently that they do not require us to upload the picture for the online check-in procedure as so many people were having difficulty with this....and that they would then just take our pictures at embarkation. Thanks in advance for any information anyone can provide.
  14. Does anyone have any idea when the remainder of the Queen Anne itineraries for 2025 will be released? Looking forward to seeing what they will be like. Also, I think it has been determined that there will not be a wrap-around walking / jogging space similar to their other ships....is that correct? Thanks for any information that can be provided.
  15. We have 2 cruises booked....the first one (Nov 2023) shows up as future / booked cruises on our Account Page. The second one (August 2024) does not (we made the deposit several weeks ago and have all of our confirmations, etc.). I noticed on the Accounts page, that I could input information (cruise date, ship, etc.) to add another future /booked cruise to our account.....but shouldn't Regent be adding that automatically as they have all the required information to do so? Or, should I just add it myself so that it shows as a future booked cruise? Seems strange that the customer should have to do that. When we booked the November 2023 cruise (over a year ago) it showed up on our account as soon as the deposit was made. Am I missing something here? Any others have this issue? Thanks
