Briar14… hopefully those cute babies aren’t on the cruise from Miami to LA. They aren’t cute anymore when they’re crying loudly in a restaurant. We had this happen on a Regent cruise with a 2 year old in Pacific Rim. Very annoying and the parents didn’t care. Neither did management.

Would like to know the brand and wattage of the hairdryer onboard the Grandeur. Thanks!

What’s the entertainment in the Grandeur Lounge?

Hopefully the entertainment in the Grandeur Lounge will be as good as they are. They are great!

We want to know if Boogie and Kaisa are onboard? Sure hope so!!!

I like having double sinks, great lighting and a big stall shower and all the beautiful shiny stuff.

The worst thing about the three older ships are the bathrooms.

The guide we used in Tokyo has retired. I would suggest ToursbyLocals. They have guides in most major cities. We took a cab from our hotel to Yokohama.

We passed twice on the 3 day pre and post 3 day Regent package in Tokyo. Took the credit. Booked our own hotel and our own private guide and transport to and from the port. We had a first class experience while in Tokyo on our own planning. We don’t like experience that Regent provides.

No problem with Rx drugs. If you are concerned have your doctor write a letter for you stating all the drugs you are taking. Just make sure they are in the bottles with the accurate labels. Most foreign airport employees can barely speak or read English. Put all your Rx bottles in one large plastic bag.

Regent passengers who are Platinum and above do not pay the deviation fees.

Additional dinner reservations can be booked once onboard.

Regent Air is not good at looking at connection times when arranging flights. Don’t accept a flight unless you really look at the connection time.

We are Platinum level on Regent. We don’t book Concierge or above suites. We make our own hotel reservations and transfer to the ship or to an airport. Taking a packed bus to the ship or an airport is not a luxury experience. Most of the hotels Regent uses in my opinion are not luxury hotels.

Flying into a debarkation port and spending one night prior to boarding is very risky with all the delays, cancellations and lost luggage issues that travelers are encountering. Flying in the day the ship leaves is way to risky and stressful. We have been cruising regularly with Regent for 22 years. We have never flown in without spending at least two nights prior to embarking the ship. The only exception is boarding a cruise that leaves from Miami. If you use Regent Air you may have multiple stops .

Kathy49… These 2 couples are at the airport waiting for that flight to Dubai. It’s supposed to leave in 5 hours.

Wondering how many passengers are stuck in in Israel and won’t be able to get to Istanbul to board the ship.

These two couples are currently at the airport in Israel waiting for their flight to Dubai and then on to Istanbul. The flight has been suspended.

The two couples are stuck in Haifa. Still trying to get a flight to Istanbul

How are passengers who are already in Israel supposed to get to a different port… Athens or perhaps Istanbul if there are no flights from Israel to these other countries?

I know 2 couples currently in Haifa. Supposed to board on October 15. Would be very difficult to leave Israel and fly to another port in another country with all the conflict. I’ll bet there are other passengers who went to Israel before the cruise.

What a mess. 1. You have passenger’s booked to fly into Israel to board the ship on October 15. 2. You have passengers currently onboard departing the ship on October 15. 3. You have passengers currently touring in Israel before boarding on October 15. I have friends stuck in Haifa. What a logistical nightmare for Regent!

The Loden. Boutique hotel that can be booked thru American Express Platinum. Can walk to Joe Fortes!!! We had a great dinner there.

We were on a cruise from Stockholm to South Hampton. There was a young couple with a 2 year old little girl. They were in Pacific Rim seated in the middle of the restaurant. The child cried and fussed the entire time. Everyone was annoyed!
