PhD-iva Posted February 25, 2022 #76 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Perhaps my TA should have mentioned the Regent Ambassador program to me (if I’m eligible). On the 14th I booked my first Regent cruise……for the second time. The previous booked cruise (Jan 2022) was canceled. How do I get a referral? Thx!

I doubt that you can apply for the Ambassador Credit until the waitlist clears and becomes a firm booking On 2/24/2022 at 8:49 PM, marne-c said: I still have a question for you!

I expect you're correct about the Ambassador Credit. Our big hope is that we GET a firm booking. I didn't seen an email from you, or anyone I didn't recognize, even in my spam file. No problem -- it can wait. --Marne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTN Posted February 26, 2022 #80 Share Posted February 26, 2022 We have a booking for a cruise on 3-26-22. Can we still get the new customer benefit for a cruise that was booked 6 months ago? If so How? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhD-iva Posted February 26, 2022 #81 Share Posted February 26, 2022 The Regent Ambassador credit request must be made within 14 of booking. I was disappointed my TA didn’t tell me about this, as you should be also. In my case, reading the Regent forum everyday , I caught this in time, but my/our TA should have been all over this from the start! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_dylaness Posted March 7, 2022 Author #83 Share Posted March 7, 2022 @WesW Thanks for posting about the excellent service you received from your TA. I am actually planning to transfer my current Regent booking from my current TA (who I have used for years) because of their complete lack of assistance with a recent debacle with Flights by Celebrity. Very sad about this, I've enjoyed working with their company for many cruises, but we are done. I've never had any issues in the years I worked with them and never asked for any kind of help with anything besides this, but they have been so unresponsive I am leaving them. How might one find such an awesome TA as the one you seem to have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably won't get a reply as asking for a TA reference or referral is against Cruise Critic's rules...the best thing to do is to ask your friends or ask people you meet once you get on board.

Yes, I understand... have been a CC member for nearly 17 years 🙂 Just wondering how they found them, because frankly, at over $20k, I'd like to not mess this particular cruise up by keeping with my current TA!

Maybe the people on this forum can help you with your booking by sharing tips? Also, I don't think you can transfer a booking and have the commission go with it unless it is within 30 days of booking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallydave Posted March 8, 2022 #87 Share Posted March 8, 2022 A booking can be transferred at any time. The problem is the commission which after 30 days will not be transferred. Not many if at all TAs will take the transfer without any commission. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do some googling with keywords like "luxury, Regent , cruise", then check out websites and have a conversation with individual agents. Don't worry about physical proximity.

mrstanley Posted March 8, 2022 #95 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Does a booking need to be transferred within 30 days after making the booking or 30 days before the cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus both TAs have to agree to the transfer. Or it won’t happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_dylaness Posted March 8, 2022 Author #97 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) Interesting that BOTH TAs must agree- never knew something like that could exist. I spoke with two luxury TAs today- both were very nice but both could not come close on the price or "amenities" (ahem, rebates) we had been offered, apparently something about transferring the reservation makes this part harder, I don't know. I think it sounds like we will be sticking with our current TA for this one (or eating a couple thousand bucks, no thanks, already "donated" to Crystal) but I have a good idea about who I might use in the future. Thank you all! Edited March 8, 2022 by the_dylaness 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pcardad Posted March 8, 2022 #98 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) You can transfer a booking within 30 days (including commission) without the permission of the broker losing the deal. I have done it. Possible it was a "one off" but it was approved when requested. . Edited March 8, 2022 by Pcardad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
