If Deep Freeze doesn't have any, I can post some when we are onboard. We join on the 5th for the TA.

Looking forward to your musings. We are boarding on the 5th after a pre-cruise Winelands and Wildlife tour. Enjoy your post cruise wine tour.

Thank you so much. Sounds as if we are in for a blast. Have never had a Beatles night on any of our previous cruises, so here is hoping 🤞

Can I ask if there is entertainment in all the venues in the evening? We were on Voyager early on her relaunch and there was a fab pianist in the observation lounge after the show or film and a duo in the Voyager lounge. There was no orchestra and I just wondered if the orchestra there was one now. How would you rate the entertainment as a whole 😀

We too are in the Cullinan Southern Star, would you like to expand on why you don't rate it. I must admit my heart sank as I thought we were going to be in Table Bay Hotel. But it will be what it is.

We will have the same dilemma in a couple of weeks as we fly from the UK to SA and we have all sorts of strikes going on. I intend to use our hand luggage allowance wisely and pack a couple of days clothes for each of us in our carry on cases. At least that way we will have three outfits that we can mix and match with.

Sorry you have had to miss some ports but glad the entertainment has been good. Just over three weeks till we board the ship 😀

We fly on the 1st January and board the ship on the 5th. Online check-in is this Thursday 15th and all it says until the 6th is TBD. With all the strikes leading up to the new year in the UK, I'm just getting edgy about it all. I'm sure everything is fine.

We are only 3 days from online check-in and our itinerary on our cruise personalise is still say TBD for our flights (we know these and have selected our seats) our pre-cruise hotel and tour. Our TA asked which hotel would we be based in and Regent replied that it should be The Southern Sun, The Cullinan but we haven't received anything officially or even an itinerary for the pre-cruise tour. I'm sure on our previous cruises this infor has showed much earlier than this.

Thank you. Sounds a great stop and we too have the seals and pelican tour booked. Really looking forward to our overnight stop in Walvis Bay.

Loving your carry on report from Georgia Peach and we too travel with our companions and our grandchildren love following their adventures. A quick general question for anyone. On all the cruises we have undertaken and I see on yours, friends of Bill W meet. Who is Bill W? I'm just intrigued.

We are doing Cape Town to Rio De Janeiro on Voyager. Hope you have a fab cruise.

Ours are very much like airline tags and some of the us Brits that weren't receiving anything apart from online documents were given the same ones we received in the post today at the pre-cruise hotel in Rome, so yes the USA cruisers seem to be getting different ones to us.

Are you doing a pre-cruise too? Will be nice to be back onboard again.

Thank you. That is a long stint John E has done as he was on before Voyagers first cruise back, but will look forward to seeing him again. Looking forward to your report from Walvis Bay as we are overnighting there.

Much excitement in our house today as this envelope arrived from Regent with deck luggage tags enclosed. No making my own like last year and thank you to Regent for listening to the feedback and sending these out. Excitement is beginning to mount but we have a little event called Christmas to get through before our pre-cruise tour 😀

Really hoping we can sign up to this on our forthcoming transatlantic on Voyager. Thank you for all the fab positive posts about it.

Really hope we get to experience a County Fair on our Voyager cruise as we have 7 sea days and these look a fun thing to attend.

Thank you, I asked about John E. If he is leaving soon is there any information on who is replacing him? Will be sorry to miss him.

Really hope you made it to the ship and have now relaxed.

GeorgiaPeach51 got to laugh at you eyeing the floor as being comfortable to sleep on 😂 I fear that will be me at Schiphol airport late in January!! Hope you have a good night's sleep and boarding goes smoothly.

Thanks for the update and glad all is good. John was our CD in March, will he still be on for the TA in January?

Oh how I wish I could take lots of shoes but my feet swell so horribly that I stick with the few pairs I know will fit 🤣 but I love looking at everyone's pretty shoes. Hope you sort your packing easily and quickly.

We have long paid our final payment and I noticed in the wee small hours that KLM had brought our flight home from Rio forward by 6 hours which meant we landed in Amsterdam at 06.00 and our onward flight wasn't till the middle of the afternoon. A phone call to our TA resulted in Regent swiftly changing our onward flight to 07.20 and assuring us, there is no luggage to collect, and our onward gate is in the close vicinity. So be reassured if things do change Regent will do their best to sort it.

Thank you. I have printed the list off and use it as a starting base. We have quite a few sea days, so am looking forward to partaking in the odd glass or two.
