forevertravel Posted August 11, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2012 We are all packed and ready to leave tomorrow for August 15th cruise. We are doing the Bear Watch tour prior to cruise. Last week I received email from Regent that if I changed my dates to Alaska cruise leaving Vancouver on the 22nd (this cruise is 12 days instead of 7 and disembarks in San Francisco), Regent would upgrade us to a Penthouse suite. We didn't take it. Two days ago I received email that if I cancel my cruise they would refund all the money plus over $2,000 in cash or $3,000 credit for next cruise. Yesterday I received email that if I cancel the cruise I would receive refund plus over $4,000 cash or $5,000 credit. This was very tempting but we are ready to go. It seems the cruise is sold out, however, I don't understand why they are offering such a generous offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelcat2 Posted August 11, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 11, 2012 When Regent overbooks, they start making offers in hopes of getting people to cancel. They keep increasing the offers until enough people cancel to give them space for all booked passengers. The offer you received was excellent! Have a wonderful cruise and tell us about it when you return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RachelG Posted August 11, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 11, 2012 We have received some great offers in the past too, but haven't been able to take advantage of them(yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallship Posted August 11, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 11, 2012 We have also received these but we really need the holiday more by the time we go. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tourguide97 Posted August 11, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 11, 2012 In 2009 I was sailing solo to Alaska. I was offered the Master Suite if I changed my date to September. I took the offer and stayed in the Master Suite. tourguide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
