Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Since you start and end in CapeTown, why not go spent a very nights in the wine region and enjoy a bunch of vineyards? I Will make one comment, as much as I was there in October one year for multiple nights (we had a driver), I have no idea if the vineyards close down around the holidays.
  2. We really like the jumping crocs and the mushroom soup!
  3. I also read this, I’m expecting we will see more on this. I always book my own tickets directly with the airlines. No major issues to speak of, except misplaced luggage.
  4. At this point, you won’t see much change on the website. However, once you get in the room and before you unpack. Locate your excursion tickets and the descriptions. Do a very quick review and run to destinations services to modify, change, etc. There will be a line, but getting yourself added to a waitlist is helpful. Check back a day later also. You may also find that the 9:30 departure has turned into a 7:00 departure, which is not to your liking! Also, these description have much better details than what you read online. Good luck.
  5. It would so useful to everyone if the descriptions of the excursions that you finally get on the cruise, were the ones you see on the website. The website descriptions sound like AI wrote them and seem to rather vague in many cases.
  6. Interesting comments from all. I was thinking the average may have been a bit lower, because of the location or at least only the fit would get off the ship! Guess we need to roll the dice!
  7. Emergencies do happen, but I’m curious do you know what the issue was? It seems like this Scenario has happen frequently and causes the cruise to divert. Since, there is an extensive medical forms to be filled out, are the emergencies more of the broken bone or heart attack or something else?
  8. Best of luck and thank you for your help!
  9. Are you suggesting an explorer ship that can actually land in Antarctica?
  10. What happens when the cruise doesn’t make it to major sporting event? I can only imagine those discussions on this site!
  11. I was also on this cruise and hence I really don’t trust Regent, the Captain hid that whole cruise. I do have another cruise booked with them in August on Voyager. It was picked because it started in Turkey and was rather cheap because of the credits I had and it has no sea days. I’m ok with missing ports because of weather, the rooms and common areas may need a refresh and the internet I’m aware will be spotty. As long as the service and food is good, I’m fine. If however, I find out that two weeks before they change everything again, I will go back to just land trips. I plan those myself and don’t have the level of problems that the cruise industry has right now.
  12. I also read that “tripped up” column and totally agree. We never purchase the Regent or for that matter the insurance offered by the any cruise line or tour group. It isn’t in your best interest. I look at it from this point of view - HR in most companies protects the company, not so much the employee.
  13. The black, white and pearl thing I think was part of the 30 year’s anniversary celebrations. I just happened to have all of the stuff, but I think some folks were clued in because they had been on prior cruises that year and expected it. They really don’t do much in the way of themes. However, the Beatles and Abba parties have been around for awhile and once again, some folks have clothing that celebrates the era.
  14. Yup, this is us. I hate the fact that so many hotel rooms only have a shower. I’m the leisurely bath person with long hair, a shower is only used if I need to wash my hair. Our two person bathtub at home is used all of the time. Hence, we will never be in a penthouse room on the newer ships!
