we are signed up for that one on the first day DW likes the hippos too. Just trying to figure the second day

I you have the record location you can add the flight in the aa ap on your phone and you should be able to manage the trip and add TSA pre/ff number.....

thanks - surprised regent picked this port doesn't have much to offer.

Anyone do the Dumazulu tour? Any good or just a staged performance. Debating that or the Thula thula out of Richards bay as they don't seem to offer the shakaland one anymore for dec 24. I saw the input about from Maputo and most of the tours don't look that interesting. I saw on other tour sites they offer trip to the special reserve and another to Ithaca/Portuguese island. They were all private and somewhat pricey as opposed to any small group type tours. The only regent one that seemed interesting was the tour and beach but at 236 pp I may as well treat it as a sea day. Anyone find anything interesting to do there?

I have a cruise booked for December 2024 that stops in Maputo 7am-5pm. Most of the ships excursions don't seem interesting just seeing the sites of the city basically. What is there to do there? I saw a couple of tours that go to Inhaca/portuguese Island and some to the Maputo special reserve/national park to the south of Maputo. However they are private tours. Are there any small group type tours to these places? What have people done? Or should we just make it a sea day?

What airline did they book you on without seat assignments ? BA?

Deviation fee is paid when you change a date or request specific flights/routes/airlines. An upcharge occurs if they cannot match their fare bucket on your particular flight request which would be the difference in the fare less regents rate. You could also be charged an up charge if you are coming from a smaller airport vs one of regents gateway cities.

Could but why if regent will stock it for you e.g. dw likes her sugar free redbull.

If you want to make sure they have a specific drink you can email the special request.

I would love that ta

I would add RSSC pax prefer less crowds and not waiting for an elevator all the time. I found the RSSC pax more polite and better mannered (e.g. ladys first on the elevator, waiting your turn for the elevator vs. closest people pile in) only exceptions I have seen are some chair hogs and people that lose their manners at the breakfast buffet oblivious to others. I would compare it to the Ritz/Four Seasons/MO/Waldorff customer expectations vs the Holiday Inn customer. RSSC customers expect good facilities, amenities and services across the board including air and pre-cruise services. Note I would go on NCL (and have pre haven) if I had my grandkids with us but stay in the Haven and my expectations would be lowered.

So what I am hearing here is that the price of the concierge D is the $39283 from the sceen shot. @Pcardad can you verify that as you seem to be very informed on the Regent pricing. Perhaps I need a more experienced TA if that is the case.

Are there any TA on this board that could verify what the price of a phb would be on that cruise? Is it the price listed for a cat d on regents site?

I'm looking at the pricing for a cruise which I have booked already in a PHB upgraded from a cat D. My TA is telling me that the regent agent said that the two-cat upgrade is built into the pricing. So when I select the cat D and it shows the $39283 price for 2pax, they are telling me that $39283 is the pricing for F-1 as the upgrade is built into the pricing. Seems fishy to me because wouldn't the G-1 G-2 and H all have the H pricing? That would mean the huge jump in price from a D to PHC on regent website is the jump from an F-1 to E regularly. I didn't think there was that much difference from an F-1 to E. Can anyone verify if this is true?

Yes I do you can emial me at m.leo@att.net. It is good until aug 2026

Welcome to the club. Regent's customer relations have taken a nosedive in the past couple of years.

I found that PR is easiest to book. I think because it is either loved or not. P7 is my usual "book first" especially on a seaday. I usually leave the first seaday open if it is the second or 3rd night as they have a nice menu in CR. Also be aware some overnights will not have the Specialties open as the do the special poolside dinner on an Overnight.

correct

most milage bookings are refundable. I think Qatar charges a $25 change cancellation fee on theirs.

You will but it is based on milage flow: Special fares Earning AAdvantage® miles and Loyalty Points Some fares (such as bulk or consolidator fares) earn AAdvantage® miles at a modified rate based on a percentage of the distance flown as determined by the booking code.* You’ll earn Loyalty Points toward AAdvantage® status for each AAdvantage® base mile earned on eligible flights, including cabin of service and status mileage bonuses. Special fares are often bought through a specialized agent, third party or as part of a package including air transportation and lodging. These include: Bulk fares Cruise fares Consolidator fares Discounted or inclusive tour packages Other tickets where the fare isn't disclosed, excluding bookings made through priceline.com or hotwire.com where the carrier isn't disclosed before buying

Just because you see a 7000 fare that is not what regent pays. You could use expert flyer and see the seats open for discount business on any given flight as well as award and upgrade seats on some airlines. (You can click on the info button to the right to see fare code descriptions)

They flew us and other on both. Turkish air was very nice for us dfw Ist non stop. Food and service very good.

Depends on route I have been booked on aa delta and Turkish so far. All were good routes and reasonable layovers or non stop.

Regent air might get you on AA. Booking a one way is definitely not feasible as the fares same as round trip. You might create an account on Iberia and check their availability using avios.
