None that are required. Keep backups on phones for safety. Also, the wines offered at meals are not the best available for no cost. Simply ask for the list and select something better.
I don't understand it either. It makes sense if done in conjunction with a tip/mention on the survey. We often go shopping for the crew if they can't get off the ship and need something or we meet up with them ashore and buy them a round or two of drinks.
There is zero pressure to tip an additional amount. The fact that some people do doesn't mean others need to. Tipping is neither required, suggested nor prohibited.
I just look at it like a restaurant that already has the service charge included in the bill...I will tip extra as I know I will be back there in the future and I want them to do well...but no one expects it.
What do you think the differences are between someone who sails on NCL and someone who sails on Regent...and how do you determine who sails exclusively on one or the other (as I assume your comment isn't meant for people who sail both).
There is a difference between criticizing Regent and accusing them of Fraud. They may be, at times, unorganized and have bad communication skills, but I have never seen anything that looked like fraud.
Physical changes after. Other changes before. But please remember, I am not an official source and I only share what I hear that won't get anyone in trouble. Subject to me being wrong, of course.
