Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. They did Sunday Brunch 3 days before you boarded. I suspect they don't like to repeat the Sunday Brunch just two weeks later, when you had a Sunday sea day. There were a lot of people on both segments for the Grand Voyage. Also, there was a lot of gastrointestinal distress on board, so that may be another reason they did not repeat it so soon.
  2. I would not expect to be able to double dip the CFAR and the 100% FCCs you would get it you cancel more than 180 days out. There is nothing to stop you from waiting until less than 180 days to get the 75% (or less) cash from the insurance instead.
  3. If it is not a new booking, you won't be able to get CFAR. Even using EI "money" might prevent that, depending on the company. The older you are, the more expensive the insurance. You can go to tripinsurancestore.com and use their "side by side comparison" link to see the cost, coverages, and options for your trip from a number of different companies. If the trip cost is >= $25,000 per person, there will be a lot less choices shown.
  4. We usually booked below PH level, but the one time we were in what is now a Serenity Classic Aquamarine, I thought there was an outlet in the bookcase next to one side of the bed???

    App?

    I agree with @FlyerTalker. The Seabourn app was a major pain. For example, it was the ONLY way to access our excursion tickets, and mine could not get them. Fortunately, my husband could and we both had to use his app for excursions. I hope that if Crystal goes down that road, they do a much better job.
  6. Our devices will all charge on 220 with a simple adapter (not needing a converter), so for us a bedside Euro outlet is just as good as US. Is there one or the other on both sides of the bed in the Classic Aquamarine on both ships?
  7. Just make sure you don't need to board a day early instead. 😉
  8. The difference between the 10% and 20% Explorer discount for a 2025 booking more than paid for my travel insurance, including 75% Cancel or Interrupt for Any Reason insurance. True, it would not pay 100% but on the other hand, the CFAR will pay 75% up until we depart, and the IFAR will pay up to 75% even after we depart. And of course it still pays up to 100% for covered reasons. All in all, I thought it was a pretty good trade-off.
  9. It is for "Operational Reasons," obviously! IMHO, if Regent were truly interested in our feedback, they would allow the survey to be completed for at least a few days after the end of the segment. I love Regent, but this is one item that goes in my "con" column, having spent significant time working on the survey just to have it thrown away because I tried to submit it just before disembarkation time while still on the ship (and not disembarking). Very few people are going to go to the trouble to figure out who at Regent to contact and follow through with a message outside the survey, as you have done.
  10. I think it was "Seven Seas Society", $50 per person. There were other credits with the same name. It did not say "gold."
  11. Apparently this is not always true. But if I had not boarded, it would have disappeared along with my booking.
  12. Mine (for my gold-turning cruise) appeared without explanation on the invoice when I got a new invoice for some other reason (air credit change or maybe final payment, not sure). When I tried to add it onboard, they told me it was already on my account.
  13. How long do you have to wait for this? I had some "refundable" OBCs for my cruise that ended 12 days ago, and my credit card does not have it yet. Should I start making a fuss, or continue to wait?
  14. Pre-Covid and pre-company failure, Crystal also visited Monte Carlo during the Grand Prix, and offered at least 2 different levels of extra cost excursions that included the tickets. Or you could DIY. I don't know if "new" Crystal is doing anything similar.
  15. The Salmon Bake was in Juneau. If you want to do a local seafood excursion, the Crab Feast in Ketchikan was much better. It was at George Inlet Lodge, included on several different excursions. Although on that one you don't have the option of getting right back on the bus to return to the ship.
