Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We leave for Japan on Thursday. We booked a 10 day land tour with Gate One prior to the Regent pre cruise and voyage departing on 4/13. I agree with the previous posters. I lived in Japan for four years as a teenager. It is a fascinating country. We booked the tour in order to make things easier as we are no longer spring chickens. After the tour we will travel on our own from Kyoto to Tokyo. We booked two extra days at the Tokyo Hilton before joining the pre cruise tour. But, we plan to join the tours only for transportation to various parts of Tokyo and then do our own thing. Also, the Japan travel forums on Facebook have been exceptionally helpful.
  2. This leaves me scratching my head. Who would leave something valuable unattended in a deck chair? Seems like someone wanted to get litigious.
  3. Yes, and tight! Once seated we couldn’t easily navigate our chairs or even attempt to leave the table. They offered to put us elsewhere but it all looked equally crowded and noisy.
  4. I always love traveling with you! I hope one day it will be in person rather than virtually. Igauzu Falls was one of my all time favorite visits. Take the ride underneath the falls! It was something I’ll always remember!
  5. What perplexes me the most is the silence from the corporate office. In this day of social media where rumors and speculation can easily get out of control, I would think that corporations would have a dedicated person with “ears to the ground” to report on the issues that aggravate their customers. Much of the teeth gnashing on this thread and on Facebook could be cleared up easily with an official response from RSSC. In fact, this was true in the past but seems to have gone away, especially with Mike Moore’s departure. Even a canned response (“thank you for your feedback. We have alerted xxxx department to explore this issue”) would be helpful.
  6. @Mike Moore it has always been very helpful to read your responses to various issues that are important to this community. I hope that Regent will assign another administrator to monitor this board and Facebook. Regent can gain valuable information about their product and nip problems in the bud. Good luck in your next journey!
  7. I’m curious about this. We were also on this cruise and, although it was not my favorite cruise ever, it was not terrible at all. We managed to see the Falklands, the scientific team was fantastic, and many of the excursions were interesting. I think the negative for me was the lack of special events like the dance parties, the block party, and deck bbq. The cruise director was Andy Heath. I asked him about this and there was a big problem scheduling the band. (???) Some of the ports were a bit of a snore, but that is true on many cruises.
  8. Iguazu! It is really spectacular. Imagine Niagara Falls times one hundred. I took the zodiac under the falls which was great fun. Even though we had a nightmare scenario getting back to BA (cancelled flight, spending the night on hard plastic chairs in the tiny Iguazu airport, missing the BA tour) it made for an iconic travel story.
  9. Hmmmmm…..something not belonging to the wife?
  10. Capt. Jablin crossed my mind yesterday out of the blue. We crossed paths on the Navigator in 2017. I was a Navy brat so I had to introduce myself as we were both walking on the upper deck. I guess his spirit was giving a final salute.
  11. I was reading Regent reviews on CC and came across this quote: “They advertise about having great internet. Reality is that for several month past and until May 2024 they have really bad wifi due to a fight with Starlink.” Does anyone have any information on this?
  12. Thank you for your help. How do you gift a NYT article…..for future reference?
