Try opening the Regent website and scrolling to the bottom of the page. Select “ UPDATE MARKETING PREFERENCES” and the following form will appear: This form allows you to opt out of any combination of email, mail or telephone marketing communications. A few months ago I opted out of mail communications (i.e. brochures). After a short period of time, brochures stopped arriving and I only receive marketing messages via email. Give it a try. Hopefully it will work for you too. Dave

Interesting that the soundproofing issue occurs on new builds from both Regent and Oceania. I wonder if, due to its heavy debt load, NCLH opted to save money during construction by reducing the amount of soundproofing between suites in categories below the named suite categories. I guess I’ll find out in a few months when I sail on Grandeur in an F2 suite. Dave

What (if anything) is NOT included on board?
DaveFr replied to talljules1's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
While there is a charge for Bingo, you can pay it with OBC. Dave -

Splendor Penthouse C vs. Penthouse B
DaveFr replied to A Tucson Guy's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Interesting. Two things would concern me about 1014 and 1017. Potential noise from the pool deck above and the fact that they are connecting suites with increased noise potential. Dave -
Regent Flights - with and without deviation
DaveFr replied to Travelcat2's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Zero. Dave -
Oops. NYC-London is correct. 🤪 Guess I was thinking about the last time we used a two category upgrade when we booked an F2 and paid the G2 rate. Dave
-
Your TA and the agent are not correct. You are booking a PHB and the two category upgrade results in you having to pay the fare for a category D. You can do the two category upgrade either way. For example, if you had booked a category D, you could either upgrade to a PHB for the category D fare or stay in your category D and pay the G2 fare. Dave

The lunch menus in Compass Rose on the Voyager feature dishes from the specialty restaurants including Pacific Rim. Hope this helps. Dave

Regent Flights - with and without deviation
DaveFr replied to Travelcat2's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
You can definitely earn American Airlines frequent flyer miles when using Regent air to book the flights. I’ve gotten Miles numerous times in the past. Just manage your booking on the American Airlines website and make sure that your frequent flyer number is in your reservation. Dave -
Three or four months ago I checked on this issue. I was told that while Regent would ticket earlier if final payment had been made, there was a trade-off to be considered. Normally, Regent air tickets are fully cancelable and refundable until 60 days before the cruise. They go into a 100% penalty for cancellations less than 60 days before the cruise. But if you ticket before the 60 day mark, the 100% penalty begins on the date of ticketing. Personally, with the exception of getting seats, I don’t have a problem with waiting until the 60 day mark to manage my booking on the airline website. I have found that calling the airline and asking nicely usually results in getting seats assigned before Regent tickets my flights. Dave

F1 Suites Near the Stern on Grandeur, Explorer and Splendor
DaveFr replied to jeb_bud's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
We were in 877 on the Explorer last March and April. It was a good suite with no issues. I would book it again. Dave -
Yes. Automatic gratuities are added to your spa bill. You may also add additional gratuities to the bill. A single amount to cover all spa services and gratuities for the visit is added to your account and is payable using shipboard credit. Dave

We are on the Splendor until Miami. Looking forward to meeting you. Why don’t you shoot me an email when you board and we can arrange a meeting time. Dave P.S. Once the casino opens, I’ll double check to see if the cash machine is working now.

I just saw that you will be getting on the Splendor in Barcelona. I am on Splendor now and checked with the casino manager. Unfortunately, it’s a good news bad news situation. The good news is that there is an ATM in the casino with a $6.99 fee per use. The bad news is that the machine is not working so you can’t get any cash from it. Sorry. I guess it’s time for Plan B. 🙁 Dave
-
On Splendor now. We ate in Chartreuse a couple of days ago. Unfortunately, there was no cheese cart. Dave
-
The amount of cash you can get is actually $400 per passenger per segment. There is another way to get cash without a fee. Use the Gift Order Form on the Regent website to send yourself cash in the form of refundable shipboard credit. When you send yourself cash, Regent bills your credit card as a purchase. Dave

I assume you mean a Superior Suite (F1). If so, then the TV swings out from the wall and is viewable from bed. A Splendor Suite has two TVs. Dave

You can purchase an airport transfer from Regent. You would purchase it when you fill out your disembarkation questionnaire. However, in most cases, it is much more expensive than using an Uber, a taxi or a car service like Blacklane. Dave

“Last minute” bookings and airfare risks
DaveFr replied to Clutj's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
You can wait to deviate but if you do so, the chance of getting a better flight is extremely slim. Dave -
You can do both. Including your friends in your reservation will count as their one permitted online reservation in the restaurant you are reserving. Dave

Any reason to book next cruise onboard?
DaveFr replied to casperthecat's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
There is a potential gotcha to deferring the $200 OBC to the cruise you are booking. Recently we booked a cruise on board and deferred the OBC. Later, Regent had a promotion for the cruise we booked on board and the $200 OBC was invalid because of the promotion. Since the promotion reduced our fare by $2000, giving up the OBC was a no-brainer. I have decided that, in the future whenever it’s feasible, I will take the OBC immediately and will not defer it.
