I agree with everything Pingpong wrote. We went thru having to present a Negative Covid test twice before boarding two prior cruises. We would have not made final payment on this Japan cruise if we knew this would be a requirement for this Tokyo to Vancouver cruise. This cruise is sold out. A 3 day pre cruise stay in Tokyo. More than likely there will be passengers unable to board and thus stuck in Tokyo. Horrible situation to be in.

Sanne…. After u had to be tested 3 days after boarding how many people tested positive and were required to be quarantined??? Just curious.

I have a friend who took a Tauck River cruise in Portugal last June. Had to show a negative test to board. Her test was negative but the first night onboard she showed symptoms. Tested herself and was positive. Didn’t report it as she was not about to be quarantined. So showing a negative test within 72 hours doesn’t mean much.

The cruise lines need to put pressure on the Japanese government to rethink this policy.

When u take a picture with your I phone the date and time is automatically there. Go to your camera roll and look at your photos. They all have a date and time on the top of the photo.

The entire mandate is ridiculous. If Japan wants cruises to dock they need to rethink this. It only aggravates people and doesn’t do anything to curb Covid on a cruise ship.

So I take a test 72 hours before boarding. I test negative. Then I’m touring Tokyo and get infected after I’ve tested Negative. Doesn’t make sense!

We have not received any updates from Regent about Covid testing. Our cruise is April 25.

I agree with Pingpong1. Not happy about the hassles involved to take this cruise.

So it’s back to self testing? Ridiculous.

I’m confused. Boarding Explorer on April 25. Does everyone need a negative Covid test to board? Or all vaccinations and all boosters?

The hotels Regent use are not good. Better to book your own.

The music in all the lounges before dinner were too loud. You could not have a conversation with friends due to the loud music. Pre- dinner music in a lounge should essentially be background music. Not a performance by the act in the lounge. At time’s beyond loud.

Had the Dover Sole last night in Chartreuse. Dry. Green beans were overcooked.

Had the grilled veal chop in Prime 7 last night. Very tough and hard to cut. No flavor. Very dissatisfied. Smoked salmon still awful. On our cruise in November I couldn’t get enough of it.

Yep… very bumpy onboard. The complimentary red wines have not improved. We find them bitter . The smoked salmon served in La Veranda is awful. Have had much better on past Regent cruises. Looking forward to better weather in Aruba!

It’s Regents job to establish any onboard policy and the crew and senior officers to ensure they are carried out. Even policies on the pool deck.

I agree with fizzy. I don’t think a passenger will verbally abuse a senior crew member. You might be put off the ship for not complying with the policy. Like smoking in your suite or balcony!

Best idea yet Flossie!

Is Lorraine the Cruise Director?

The problem is very few passengers want to sit in the sun. The loungers in the sun are often unoccupied.

What Terminal is the ship docking on February 8th???

We booked the Copenhagen Marriott ourselves.

They ran out on our November cruise.
