snorkle lover Posted June 3, 2020 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Our Explorer cruise April 27 to May 4, 2020 ( Barcelona to Lisbon) was canceled by Regent on March 31. We had paid in full for the cruise. I understand that our refund can take up to 90 days. So far we have not received anything. My question is, do we count the weekends when we are counting the days? Also, at what point do we need to get our CC company to get involved? Getting a bit concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pcardad Posted June 3, 2020 #2 Share Posted June 3, 2020 90 calendar days from date of refund. Regent currently processing refunds in 10 day batches. They were on April 1 - April 10 but may have moved on to April 11 - April 20. I would GUESS you will get it around June 23... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portolan Posted June 3, 2020 #3 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I think Pcardad meant 90 days from your request for refund. You don't mention actually making a refund request, but I assume/hope you did. There is nothing that Regent could possibly claim about their stated policy which allows for it to take more than 90 calendar days from their acknowledgment of your refund request.

Maybe that's good news for us for the end of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snorkle lover Posted June 9, 2020 Author #7 Share Posted June 9, 2020 If you used a travel agent, I would suggest you get her/ him involved. We have received most of our refund and we have our TA to thank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon1951 Posted June 9, 2020 #8 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I was booked on a Cruise departing 7th April to the South Pacific and am still waiting for my refund. It is being handled by a travel agent who said Norwegian Cruise Lines who own Regent are very slow payers. My 90 days are almost up and wont be booking on any more cruises until I get my money back so if they want to win back custom then they need to pay up .

I find it odd that your TA would say that Norwegian Cruise Lines are "very slow payers". Until the pandemic hit, refunds were being processed quickly and customers received their refunds in a timely manner. So that comment is not what most of us have experienced. In terms of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings owning Regent, NCL and Oceania, this is true but the CEO over these lines is the same person that was CEO over Regent and Oceania before they were purchased by NCLH. In 16 years of cruising Regent (under three owners), refunds have not been an issue.\ Since most refunds have been processed from early April (according to posters on this board), I would go back to my TA and have them double check (and don't listen to their excuses). Hope your refund appears soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
