Sorry about the above edit........

As Tim Gunn would say "Carry on...."

Incorrect pricing information

Phew! Thank you all who responded.........That's really good news! Will go ahead and double confirm, just for piece of mind.

Our TA just confirmed with Regent that ALL amenities, as well as shore excursions are included for the third person. They do need to pay for their own air (which we already knew).

Phew! Thank you all who responded.........That's really good news! Will go ahead and double confirm, just for piece of mind.

I not only want a supervisor, I want the policy in writing, unless they can cite where, in fact, their third person info is published in their catalogs or online. As I said before, perhaps I've missed it....would be really happy if someone out there can point me to it.

Our third is paying for their air. When we booked this cruise, our Regent rep via our travel agent led us to believe other than air "it was ALL included". Yes, it'll be interesting to see what the REAL answer is.

I've looked very hard to find some reference to the third passenger that is not a child in Regent catalogs, online, etc. and if it's out there, it's in mouse print. If someone knows where it talks about the "third adult person", I'd be really grateful. Depending on what transpires, this could be a deal breaker. The Regent rep made no mention of an additional charge for shore excursions; their bad, if in fact there is a charge for them.

We have just booked a cruise for 2015 and are including an adult as a third person. We have the third person rate and there is an air add on which is fine. When our TA spoke to Regent about the third person rate, they said it included "everything".......I assumed (silly me) it included shore excursions as well. I cannot find any reference to just what a third person is entitled to in all of the Regent fine print. If it's in there, I can't find it.........

Can anyone else find it? Travel agent is alerted....this could be a deal breaker, depending on the response.

Although this happened many years ago, it's an example of how charming (and of course talented) the JAR folks are. Our daughter, an aspiring dancer, came with us for a "back stage encounter" with the JARs. Elizabeth asked a million questions as any young person would who's interested in dance would. Long story short, the JAR gals asked Elizabeth to join them backstage before a performance to "stretch out with them and mess around a little". Well, needless to say, it was an experience that E still recounts with glee, even tho she's now 30!

Just checking in to say how much I'm enjoying your blog! Photos are fabulous, especially enjoying all the market shots and those horses......what more can I say! Magnificent!

Keep up the good work.....your efforts so appreciated!

Linda

Sounds like a lovely trip....will keep track of you as you go.

Fair winds and following seas; have a wonderful time!

Linda

Oh yes! To my knowledge the "third person rate" stays the same no matter what category you book! We're in a lower mid range "F", but the third was about half the regular rate including the air add on. Most definitely a good deal, no matter what category you book!

Enjoy!

I'm sure the experts on this board will correct me if I'm wrong, but a single supplement would be for a person who is sailing by themselves in a double cabin. It's usually pretty pricey....

The third person fare is for a third person sailing with two others in a double cabin (3 people in the cabin). At least in our case, the third person (a close friend of ours) fare was excellent and includes all perks. They do have to pay extra for their air, but the airfare was so low, you couldn't walk for that price!

Thank you so much! We chose another cabin.......

This is the reason I like cruise critic......not for all the disagreements, snide comments, etc.

This board is particularly bad with back biting. I don't enjoy that at all, but REALLY helpful info like this is why I keep reading.......

Thank you again for taking the time to comment!

Linda

Does anyone have any comments on this cabin, good, bad, ugly? Considering it for a threesome in the Med, 2015.

Holy Cow! that has to be one of the best deals ever! Thank you, Rachael!

If we were to take a third person on a cruise, does their rate include shore excursions? I know they need to pay their air, probably taxes, but what about shore excursions? liquor? tips? etc.

Looking at a 2015 Mariner cruise for late April. Will that be too early to enjoy warm, not hot, weather?

Good to know.......we're probably looking at the same one! Thanks for posing the question. We had the same one!

I have heard many good things about you and your good nature from several cruisers...maybe our paths will cross one day over a martini

Would love to share some Hendrick's with both of you......hahaha!

Mudhen - Which "Baltic Cruise" will you be on in June? We are on the Voyager June 14 -21 sailing from Stockholm to Copenhagen - "Secrets of Scandinavia. Regards

June 28th Stockholm to Oslo.........sorry we'll miss you!

OOOO! Thank you for the heads up on "the Botanist". I will now launch a search for it. I was really a "vodka kinda gal", until our daughter and son in law introduced us to Hendrick's. They sail competitively and it's a sailor sort of drink. Now I'm a convert.......!!!Who knew a cucumber could make a drink taste so good!

OMG, someone else who knows Hendrick's!!!!!!........I usually get the two headed creature look when I ask for it......."WHAT??? Never heard of it"........It would be a great and wonderful thing if we could get that onboard for our June Baltic cruise aboard the Voyager. Hope springs eternal...........!!!

Still giggling over this one........too funny! Although you did a pretty good job of listing things you don't like, I could add a few......

People who storm the elevator before the other folks have had a chance to get out.

People who chew with their mouths open

People who say "ooooo, how can you eat that?"

People who bump into you (hard), look you in the eye, and not say "excuse me".....

People with no sense of humor.... (IMHO, there's a lot of them on this board!)

"Wife beater" tee shirts on men along with any men's pants being worn below the waist and exposing underwear......

Give me a little time and I'll think of more.....just getting rolling here!

We did basically the same cruise you're considering, a year ago November. Only difference was that we left from Monte Carlo. We loved it! There was plenty to do and the sea time was actually broken up by the Canary Islands and Cape Verde. When we cruised, I actually thought it was a pretty good value......maybe not so much now. As far as clothing goes, you don't have to tote along a lot of formal wear, as there is never a "mandatory" formal evening. John didn't take a tux, only sport coats (I think 2?)and a couple of ties. My most dressy outfits were a long black skirt, dress pants, a couple of silk blouses and a lot of giant silk scarves. They didn't take up any room, and doubled as blankets in colder venues! haha!

Thank you, Wendy for the email info. Unfortunately it won't help us as we're on the Baltic route aboard the Voyager at the end of June. It would be great if we ALL could get the same info. I guess that's more than Regent can muster, but they most definitely win, hands down, the snail mail deluge!!!!

Although we get tons of snail mail, email, etc from Regent, never got a thing about a 395 business upgrade. Could've been interested, but alas, didn't get the message. Maybe I could trade in 50 lbs of catalogs for one useful email? nah.......
