We too fly from LAX and have found the same thing. Flying west, take the Regent air credit (saved $1200 pp to Tokyo this year). Flying east, use Regent air as I can’t come close on my own. But always check for yourself.

Couldn’t agree more. This is exactly the way Regent handled our recent Istanbul to Dubai (Navigator) debacle. They clearly are not thinking “customer first “, not looking to make “customers for life “ and do not appear to have policies and procedures in place for such situations, which appear to be happening with relative frequency. ADM needs to show more (some) leadership soon. I am not impressed.

Enterprise level = Corporate

On Navigator now. Production cast is the best we have ever seen in 20+ cruises. Dance choreography and voices are exceptional.

Christmas decorations went up on the Navigator today. Personally, I wish they had waited a week, and I love Christmas.

What a concept!

Or verbally assault senior staff and crew members.

Four such people were put off the Navigator in Dubrovnik.

That is generally the only way you can book these tours/airport transfers.

La Veranda typically closes at 10 am for breakfast currently on Navigator.

Yes we did…pretty day, not much to see or do, but getting off the ship is a win! 🙂

Something I never did or would ever do during my career.

Correct. You wonder what else she doesn’t know. So far not impressed.

Just received this letter in our cabins… The saga continues. It should never have taken this long for this to be communicated, it should have happened before the cruise and before others cancelled their cruise. Even with this, it will take a looong time for the ill will to dissipate.

We spent 17 days in April, 3 precruise, 14 cruise. We never got any yen. However, we are not big shoppers, especially typical souvenirs.

We missed our connection in Brisbane in 2018 on a LA to Perth trip. We went to Qantas and they got us ticketed on the next flight. When we arrived in Perth, Qantas already knew our luggage had not made it to Perth with us and provided an overnight kit, complete with pj’s. I do not think Regent would have been of any help to us. BTW, the connection Regent booked for us was possibly legal, but was unlikely to work unless everything worked perfectly.

Today’s (Monday) port is Mykonos, a very picturesque Greek island. But for this particular cruise, it is, once again, not to be. Thunderstorms predicted all day with high winds. The tenders drivers union refuses to work, so we will be skipping another port. This reduces our scheduled ports to 8 in 21 nights. The good news for us is that the ship is not sinking. 😕

Left Istanbul Friday.

I will add one more to the list of tours on My Account and the tour descriptions on the pdf with all the tours. In your cabin once you board you will find still another list of tour descriptions. We have found this one to be the most accurate of all. We have changed our tours based on the descriptions found in this listing.

No tote bag on Navigator.

We also have used Le Meridian in Nice (and the one in Monte Carlo) and found both hotels very nice and had everything we needed. Not top end luxury but very good. As I recall, the beach closest to the hotel was stones, not sand. Rented a Sixt rental car right in the hotel for a drive into Provence.

Well, today’s “hit” for us was going to Ephesus. The good news, only 13 in our Ephesus with less walking tour. The first stop at the museum was really great, small but impressive collection of sculptures dating to 600 bc. Then on to Ephesus and an absolute monsoon broke out. The walk to the Celsius library was of course uncovered. We couldn’t have been wetter if we had jumped in the ocean! Two hours later, sunshine! The good news for us is we have been here before. But for those that hadn’t, it had to be one more severe disappointment.

OTOH, if you are 78, have some mobility issues and want to see Israel, Egypt, Petra, Cyprus, Oman and Dubai it might be hard to find a land tour that gets you there.

What is your take on this “offer” versus the 25% FCC given the Voyager passengers? I’m certainly not mad at you or anyone on these boards.
