taxare Posted September 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I don't know how this would be set up, but there are certainly some VERY frequent Regent cruisers and posters that could get it done, but I would suggest since there seems to be a fair number of questions about new policies and items from Regent that it would be helpful to get them on one thread or online "call" and have an executive like Jason answer the questions from Regents point of view. For example, some items might be: Vero Water System-Phase 2-How will it work and when will it be implemented on each ship Smart Guide system-How good is the security, how are they going to roll it out, why did they not use a "whisperer" system? Drydock update-What is the general plan for a soft goods update, e.g. what specifically are they going to do on the Explorer next month? Splendor-A more detailed update on the status Refund policy-If a cruise is shortened by a day, what is their policy for proportionate refunds? End of cruise survey-Why do they not offer paper as an option or allow a week or so after the cruise to complete? I'm sure there are other areas that many on this board would like to ask. I would suggest it shouldn't be to address one's specific items on a particular cruise and it has to stay respectful since the executive is willing to come on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ronrick1943 Posted September 28, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2019 It's really simple, CC can set this up, they already have this in place with cruise lines. Good idea it's been a while since Regent has done this, but I think a few years ago Regent had one on CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzy Posted September 28, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 28, 2019 We think that is a very reasonable and well thought out idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea it's been a while since Regent has done this, but I think a few years ago Regent had one on CC. If I remember correctly Randall Soy from the Miami office did a Q&A on this Board and also Graham Sadler from the Regent UK office. But, as you say, it has been many years since Regent did a Q&A session on CC and it could be useful if CC offered them the opportunity to take part in another. I wonder if the previous Q&As are still available to view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambagahle Posted September 29, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I would like to contact Graham Sadler (and his counterpart at Oceania in the UK) about their marketing here in Europe...how do I do this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is fine; that is Regent's decision as to whether they choose to acknowledge or answer a question from a CC member. 8 hours ago, Travelcat2 said: The poster that said that it was several years ago was incorrect. At there most, it was 2 years ago. Sorry if my memory was failing me. The Q&A with Graham Sadler was 6 years ago, as evidenced by this contemporaneous thread: Q&A with Graham Sadler Maybe the on-line forum with @Randall Soy was more recent? Perhaps he or @Host Dan can enlighten us and point to where we can see the previous Q&A topics. 8 hours ago, Travelcat2 said: In terms of this thread and the other one related to this topic Have I missed something. I cannot locate another thread discussing the possibility of an on-line forum/Q&A session with Regent 🤔 I think it would be good if CC were to invite Regent to take part in another Q&A session on this Board. It might help to clarify and clear the air on a few issues, both for existing customers and more importantly for those CC members considering whether to try the Regent brand in the future. I agree that specific individual issues that a customer has with a cruise-line need to be addressed on a one-to-one basis privately with the company rather than through social media. However if a customer cannot get a response I can fully understand the frustration leading to airing the issue publicly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best way is to email CruiseUK@rssc.com and mark your email for the attention of Graham Sadler. I believe the one Southampton office now handles all the NCLH brands (NCL, Regent & Oceania) for European customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxare Posted October 16, 2019 Author #9 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I have been in communication with Jason O'Keefe who spoke to leadership at RSSC. They would support the idea of having another CC Q&A but due to the timing of the Splendor launch and the changeover in Spa operation they are asking that it be delayed until late second quarter of 2020. As usual Jason was very responsive and I will follow up with him around June of next year. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
