  1. Can I ask why are these dining times too early? I just booked Queen Elizabeth, and chose Early Dining (6p-9m). I was hoping to eat before a show. Do Cunard cruisers eat late?
  2. I do like them, but it seems they have become too cosy with the cruise lines. I really wonder when was the last time they actually paid for a cruise.
  3. I really was actually looking at these cruises (Seaside specifically), but I didn't like the size of the ships. Waaay too big for me. With Europa at 4000 and MSC Seaview at 5200 passenger capacity. NO WAY! Plus, they are family ships! I really don't want to be on cruise ships with kids and teenagers. (My last cruise on NCL Bliss, Jan 2022, had only 6 kids and 1300 adults!) Good luck!!
  4. Does anyone experienced with Regent have an answer to this? This is what I was concerned about. What happens if the flight brings me in too late?
  5. 75$ just to talk to them is all I read in the email. Oh well, it just shows they are fed with their customers wanting to talk to them about air travel.
  6. This is stupid. They should just pay a fair salary, since what proof do you have that they actually get those tips; given how the service is on these ships. My last two cruises I encountered many crew who did not even deserve the job they had, despite my prepaid tips. Oh, well...
  7. Why are they having pre-pay tips for having little kids? Do they also charge for the baby inside a pregnant women as well?
  8. I thought you were speaking of Navigator when you mentioned the "wear and tear" in the Suite, the service, and even the food being warm. Splendor is a new ship, still. Sigh... Wow, this really makes me re-think my upcoming three week Transatlantic this November. Not to seem braggery, but I did book a Penthouse; do you think my experience will be "better"? I have learned that all cruise lines love treated people who pay more much better than those that don't. But Regent is VERY expensive all around, so I assumed that all guests treated the same and get the same service regardless of what Suite they booked. Sigh..hmmmm
  9. What room did you get? I hope you really enjoy your journey.
  10. For me, a Penthouse B was all that was available at the time I booked it in 2021. I choose Concierge and above for the Pre-night Hotel stay. I know that you could book your own hotel and arrange your own ship transfers, but I didn't want that hassle, even though, yes it could save me $$$$. As for location, I have 606 on the Port side, and I don't think it'll bother be. We'll see. Here is a video of PB 653:
  11. This is what I assumed as well. That these ships were too expensive and therefore would never be fully loaded. If they were, it was mostly with the elderly who don't hang out at the pool. But it seems a lot of millenials and GenZers are getting onboard with their Bitcoin & NFT fortunes 🤑 and whatnot. Oh, well...that's why I booked a Suite with a large enough balcony, but I want to be on the pool deck. Hopefully, on my sailing there won't be as many people - it's a 21 day, and I've learned from my last 14 days on NCL Bliss that long haul sails don't usually have a full passenger load due the cruise length. And that cruise was the FIRST time I was ever on the pool deck of any cruise I'd been on, with the others being so crowded. But I did hear that medium and large Groups are booking Regent now, so...that could change. It'll be interesting to see what the lounger situation looks like while crossing the Atlantic.
  12. How is this possible, to save a lounger? I assumed luxury ships were never at full capacity due to their price points. How hard can it be to find a place to sit on the pool deck on a luxury ship? (PS: I have sailed on RSS yet, ALL of my past bookings from 2020 to 2021 kept getting pushed back. Maybe I'll finally make it aboard this November).
  13. So this statements impies you did not book the cruise with Regent, right? From my experience, and I haven't sailed yet, but if you book early (like a year or more in advance), you don't end up paying 100% single supplement, if the cruise has a special singles rate. The lowest I've seen is 25%; my current booking the single supplement was about 44.5% (because it's a long sailing).
