If Regent intentionally changed or cancelled ports with prior notice and intent and withheld said information from guests and blamed it falsely on weather or something "out of their control" in the hopes of profiting from this action it would be called what then? My point being there simply isn't enough data to assume the above.....no matter if you call it by it's name or simply its definition.

Yes....exactly like I said. Other people are making the accusations and I am saying they are accusing Regent of fraud. When they state Regent is knowingly deceiving guests for money that is fraud.....and it is too strong a word for what the facts indicate. I stand by these comments as I do not believe it is the case.

I was making fun of flat-earthers and contrail conspiracy theorists...not people here as no one here has identified as such. I simply don't see facts that indicate Regent is lying or committing fraud. They have provided information that some people do not believe and they have refused to provide as much information as some people would like....neither is lying or committing fraud.

I see this across the board on all major cruise lines. I think they would lose more than they would save by forfeiting the port fees just to save a bit of fuel......plus the PR risk is off the chart. The math doesn't add up. To be clear, shaving an hour off a port to once in a while is a coincidence...shaving it off most runs is evidence. I will find out.

Anything at or above 175% earns double nights... *Single guests earn double nights when traveling at 175% or higher single supplement" https://www.rssc.com/seven-seas-society

And you will get twice the nights credited to your RSS account.

In order to save money by "skipping ports" they would need to cancel the port with enough notice (months) that they get their money back for the port reservation. However, if you look on the port schedules for the ports, the ships are still scheduled to dock. So if they are NOT cancelling and recovering their money, how are they saving money?

How many Regent Rewards points do you need?

I an not sure which rep you saw - but if you are in GA, it was probably either K.R. or L.T. (depending on your TA's agency). I have worked with both. Mike left the end of January and has not yet updated his Linkedin profile but I certainly wish him the best - he is a great guy. If it makes any difference, my experiences indicate that all cruise lines are still having issues Post Covid for a variety of reasons. Even Viking is seeking financing to cover debt and now, this just in, seeks an IPO to raise additional money. Viking Holdings files confidential draft for IPO 01:47 PM | Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NCLH) | By: Amy Thielen, SA News Editor Viking Holdings Ltd. confirmed on Friday that it has filed a confidential draft registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for an initial public offering. The number of shares to be offered has not yet been determined. The cruise operator has reportedly engaged Bank of America (BAC), J.P. Morgan (JPM), UBS Group (UBS), and Well Fargo (WFC) as advisors, according to Bloomberg. The offering could be conducted as early as Q2 this year. Viking Cruises, based in Basel, Switzerland, provides river, ocean, and expedition cruises under three divisions. The company was founded in 1997 in St. Petersburg, Russia by Torstein Hagen. The company has raised $1B in funding over two rounds, the most recent $500M from private equity firm TPG and the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board.

This is a perfect example of a lost opportunity. The cost is next to nothing and the PR would be great. Its been my experience that the redemption people (usually dancers) have instruction to generously round up because it is such a simple and cost-effective way to score lots of goodwill at the END of a cruise - which is the best time to get it. If Regent doesn't capitalize on this easy opportunity, they don't deserve the benefits. -
Both Voyager and Mariner are scheduled for 17 days - that is a fairly large time block. I have heard some things and expect the upgrades to be very well received.

December 2025 for 17 days.

I've gotten them often as well as Qatar Airways.

Many states allow a minor to drink in the presence of their parent. https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/addiction/alcohol-laws -
What is going on with the Voyager
Pcardad replied to ddaniel337's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
No argument from me but I will say it only takes a short time to see if a port is available and to book it vs. booking early enough to make sure you have a guaranteed spot. -
The only thing consistent among these opinions is their inconsistency. 🤪

They "forget" to count when you redeem points...they can't very well charge you $1,500 per person per day and then skimp out and not give you a $6 t-shirt. -
Where is Voyager going after March 20, 2026?

If guests are remaining on board, it is not a charter. -

Due to people in this age group often having foot issues, the crew is understandably lenient with footwear. The shoes you describe are fine.
