I will ask tomorrow and report back. He seemed particularly uninterested in what I wanted eg he quoted for a G2 cabin telling me I’d got a free upgrade from H, but neglected to mention how small those cabins are. I only found out from comments on this site. The travel agent quoted for a F1 and that was the online price without negotiation, which in the UK you can get a fairly significant further amount off.

I was quoted a price by the onboard cruise seller which included $400 OBC if I book within the next 3 days. However, a quick google showed the same cruise at a lower price (around £1000GBP) with my usual travel agent. This was with a 2 category upgrade from the onboard price. Apart from the OBC is there any reason to book onboard? I’m very confused as he insisted that was the best price available.

I’ve been on Voyager for a few days and disappointed that the tour desk upgraded 3 of my 4 booked excursions to moderate from easy. They also cancelled the 4th one when we were at dinner the first night due to operational reasons. I think because the weather was unpredictable and we were doing an open top bus tour. The excursion lady tried to convince me that I’d be ok doing a moderate level activity but as I don’t want to the the entitled selfish one as referred to by that ignorant poster last week, I declined. So pretty disappointed that there’s nothing for me to do but we’ve hired a private guide which seemed to be the only way forward.

No dietary restrictions, I just like seeing what’s on offer so I can look forward to it!

I think I read that Regent do not have an app so are daily menu options printed and left with the daily programme? Thank you.

That is very concerning to read. I am on my first Regent cruise next week and use a cane due to severe back pain. I’m not expecting to get off the ship very much but I assumed Regent would provide assistance to shuttles or tour coach. I’ve rung them twice to confirm they know I will struggle and both times been told not to worry. Now I’m worried!

Thank you for your replies. Is it correct that you can only dine in each specialty restaurant once per cruise? We are looking at a 12 nighter. I have no doubt that we will be well fed regardless of where we eat!

Hi, we’ve sailed Seabourn several times but first time on Regent. From some research today people are waiting up till 1am to book dining and tours a year in advance. That sounds crazy to me but it is what it is. So is it likely that we won’t get decent dining times in specialty restaurants and tours will be full? We plan to book tomorrow for a Med cruise in September. Thanks for your wisdom.
