Last August, Regent supplied a very nice tour before going to the airport. We were not informed of this option until a few days before the end of the cruise. I had hired a private guide who I subsequently canceled. We did have a somewhat long wait at the airport, but the lounge was quite adequate. Hope that helps.

The church isn't that new as we visited it in 2010. We have been back to French Polynesia many times but never back to the Marquesas. Thanks for bringing back memories.

Coming back to JAX from Reykjavik last August, we had a forced overnight in Newark. Be thankful yours is in Reykjavik🤣 Regent put us at Marriott Courtyard. Not a fabulous way to end a cruise.

For our Southampton to Reykjavik cruise in August, we were at the Landmark in London. Lovely hotel!

We have sailed the PG many times. Every itinerary including Fiji. Our most recent was after Ponant took them over. Same wonderful crew. Same lovely small ship. Wonderful Gauguins and Gauguines. Absolutely recommend them. However we always take the air credit, so can't comment on that aspect. We are very frequent Regent cruisers, so absolutely nothing against them.

We are with you in April. Round trip Tokyo and then on to Vancouver. Looking forward to your reports, Fudge.

@GillyI’m jealous!! Have yet to spot one.

I’m in. Name your time and place. Just don’t interfere with Trivia🤣

Gilly- Looking forward to meeting you this evening. We did a b2b in January. It is a different feeling, but wonderful to know you have more pampering to come.

Is your luggage at least getting the frequent flier miles for you???

I also thought the Tokyo excursions weren't there, but they are at the very beginning of the list. The dates are correct and we have them booked!

This is not new. It was definitely there in 2020.

We also were on this cruise, but started in Auckland. You summed everything up perfectly! The excursions and tendering were the absolute worst we have ever encountered. Regent never used to fill the buses to capacity. I never remember them sending numerous buses to the same location at the same time. And the descriptions of the tours were not particularly accurate. The staff, except for destination services, made up for so many of these shortcomings with their friendly attentiveness. They truly made us feel special.

Maybe. I'll bring my card😃

Wonderful news! We have been with Andy and Tammy twice. They are lovely. Looking forward to seeing them again.

Looks even more expansive than what I remember at the Ritz!! In our many, many days on Regent, we have never had the pleasure of a Sunday at sea. And 32 days in January is no exception, unfortunately. I guess I need to pick my itineraries more carefully🤣 Love your reports!!! Keep 'em coming!

We turn gold while we are on this cruise. I'll be happy to share with you😁

I am salivating on every word of your report, but also becoming more and more anxious about our decision to try Seabourn. We board in Montreal on October 4😬

Did you use your phone for the test or did you bring a computer? We have the same scenario in a couple of weeks and I don't plan to even bring my i-pad! I have researched several testing sites around Montreal. That's another option. Thanks for all of your info.

Sorry, got my dates wrong.🤪 We are doing this in October. Please keep us posted on how everything goes.

We are also on this cruise. Flying in Sunday. We have a roll call for this cruise. Please check it out!!

We are also frequent Regent and Oceania cruisers who are embarking on the Quest in October for our first Seabourn cruise. Will follow your posts with great interest.

I believe we are on the same cruise in October. We will be docking at the Manhattan terminal. We are flying our of JFK. We came in through Newark from Europe in May. An absolute nightmare!!! Would avoid that airport at all cost!

Which rental agency did you used? Were you happy with them? How close to the pier was the pickup/drop off? We are overnight in October so thinking of renting a car.

What day are you flying into Auckland? I requested that flight and could get it for arriving the day of the cruise, but not earlier. Very interesting.
