Lady Meer

You can all dine together in the main dining room. Suite guests can have their meals in the Reserve dining room and you would need to up-grade to a Reserve mini-suite or a full suite to join them.

We had tour tickets in our room when we boarded. No app as far as I remember with Regent last month!

kjbacon - when you get onboard, check your tour tickets! On our W Africa cruise last year all of our tours had a time change. Some were 30 to 60 mins different but 2 were changed from afternoon to morning - one to 6.30 am 😡.

Which country do your parents live in, if it’s the UK it could affect their travel insurance.

Our room steward changed the wine. Agree with Cajuntraveler about the canapes!

Our TA got us a reduced fare on our next cruise [2 reserve mini suites) after the prices fell considerably, so it is possible.

Turkey and Eastern Med - April. Standard room B deck is now less than we were offered. i see a well known TA already has 2025 cruises in their brochure which we received last Saturday!

The room we enquired about (pre-registered) is actually cheaper on the website than we were offered.

Wow - that’s going to be costly. I wouldn’t want to send my passport out of the country either. There were a lot of Australians on our cruise - it’s a pity no-one has commented.

We did this trip in November 2023 and (as DaveFr says) only needed a visa for Ghana which Regent did onboard. I checked with all the Embassies in the UK myself before we travelled. Just a note - you may want to take copies of your passport as Regent kept them for the whole cruise.

Not HAL but have just been to Japan on Regent. Everyday we were reminded to carry our original passport ashore at all times as it is a legal requirement - copies would not be acceptable.

Sadly, not in March this year.

No side room this year for breakfast for our Regent tour..

We got off Explorer last Monday - our experience was exactly the same as yours. Couldn’t get into the Business Centre (too many waiting) so didn’t get the survey done.

We’ve been on Voyager and Explorer recently and haven’t been able to do the online survey due to poor internet service ☹️.
