Regent is offering passengers a 100% refund of the cruise only fare. Exact amounts are still being tabulated.
About 130+ passengers permanently disembarked Seven Seas Explorer when it docked in Adelaide Jan 4th. They had to make their own travel arraignments and pay for their trips home. The rest of us are continuing on. The ship’s crew has been fantastic. I feel sorry for them because they get no days off. Full service all the time.
The ship is scheduled to go offshore from Adelaide, and rendezvous with a cleaning vessel for 24-hours and then proceed directly to Auckland, arriving Jan 12th. At least that’s what we’ve been told.
I wish Regent was more transparent about how this all happened.
