Can't wait to join the Mariner on March 1. I don’t know if they allowed people to eat outside. Both venues were packed. Tonight they are serving a similar menu outside at the pool grill. We don’t sail until 11:00pm. Aloha and welcome aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusin7 Posted February 1 Author #206 Share Posted February 1 I had a Pina Colada yesterday. It was delicious! They had a Rum Punch with a coconut rim as a welcome drink yesterday. It was very sweet. I didn’t get a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC Retired Cruiser Posted February 1 #207 Share Posted February 1 Thanks for that info Kwaj girl. I am so glad to know there is someone who makes great MaiTai’s. I gave up asking for them several trips ago because each I received was poor representations of a true MaiTai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleScout66 Posted February 1 #208 Share Posted February 1 When we were in Tenerife on Splendor I bought some local rum. Had the bartender at the pool bar make a Mai tai with it. Very 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Sea/Suez are gone as well as Israel/Turkey/Egypt...but the plan is to replace as many ports as possible. But, like anything, subject to change. You mention Turkey, Voyager has cruises this year that start or end in Istanbul. I’m on one of them, have you heard some possible changes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a tough call for Regent...they want to be safe but they also don't want to deviate. Their insurance company has a LOT to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlevin Posted February 1 #212 Share Posted February 1 The Grand European Grand Voyage on Voyager this summer was supposed to have close to a dozen days in Turkey (in addition to Israel); now, only three days in Turkey and a dozen in Greece. We had switched to Grand Arctic (again) because of the heat of so many days inTurkey in middle of summer; I guess we could have waited; still Greece will be hot.

Rare crusin7 Posted February 2 Author #221 Share Posted February 2 Whale watching was excellent! Maui Reef Adventures. This was a free excursion. We were on the water for 2 hours. There was a competition for the female. Males fighting for 1 female. Girls rule! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaflamingo Posted February 2 #224 Share Posted February 2 Just a comment about itinerary changes... all the speculation in the world is worthless. This mess in the Red Sea could go on for 20 years or be over in days. Regent is likely looking at their options and will make a decision when it is necessary. Consider the logistics of a major change in a cruise ship's itinerary. It impacts port space, supply abilities, fuel capabilities, crew turnover, shore excursion availability, other ships also changing itineraries, and, of course, cost. So it's likely, and in my opinion, wise, for Regent to spend significant time and look at options and then wait until it's necessary to make the changes, and wait until they are firmed up to announce them. Consider them changing the cruise and cancelling one or two others and then in a week this ends, or announcing changes that they end up unable to accomplish. Everyone will be furious and we'll have endless threads of "why did Regent cancel or change my cruise so early?" So.... all we can do is wait and see. Let the company decide what they want to do with their ship and then adjust to the decision. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crusin7 Posted February 2 Author #225 Share Posted February 2 Good Morning Hilo! We had significant rocking during our approach to Hilo. Glassware breaking and things falling. John came on at 0655 to tell us we would be leaving this port because of large swells. He asked us to remain in our cabins and stay seated. That’s a new one for us. Again we wait. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
