  1. I would do that if you can. I assume you'd get a small credit for opting out of the air one way.
  2. Yes, you'll be fine Richard. David wore shoes like that for years.
  3. Perhaps if they ask well in advance, but in general, I would not count on it. NA wine, probably.
  4. Bring your own binoculars. Worth it to buy a new pair, trust me. We each had our own pair.
  5. Varies by region. French Polynesia is usually great from May to October. We were in Singapore and Thailand in February, great time of year.
  6. I found the specialty restaurants on Riviera all overdone and rather ersatz. And the MDR quite lacking compared to Regent. Then again, La Reserve was exquisite.
  7. Wow, I did not know that about Starlink, thanks. Is it not also true that the satellites were originally deployed to favour the northern latitudes? So perhaps near the equator it's a bit dicey?
  8. So sorry that French Polynesia's Society Islands are mostly a "washout". After all those sea days. Let's hope the weather improves as you sail west.
  9. Sorry, but what did you expect them to do? Seems fair to me although I can't speak about the TA commissions.
  10. I'm not remembering specifics but I believe it was as Tom stated; we didn't see our bag until it was delivered to our suite.
  11. All that info jibes with what we experienced last year at the Biltmore. But we made our own way to the ship. In this case, we had our car, and parked at the port, but would have taken a taxi or uber otherwise--I hate those buses. Regent did, however, take our big luggage so we didn't have to lug it around.
  12. Definitely not walkable, as Kahuna implied, although coming back, you can waltz right over to your ship.
  13. As a former, fairly frequent PG cruiser, I'm sorry to hear this, but not surprised. My expectations of Ponant have been low ever since the deposit debacle at the beginning of the pandemic.
