This is the exact cruise we have booked as our first cruise with Regent. We were so excited about the ports, and now I feel like 'bait and switch' here! We just got the emailed notice yesterday and immediately called the number listed. It took me to a dedicate Cust Rep who could confirm the change and apologized - could get nothing else from her! I will contact my TA after the holidays - I think they took a page from the gov't when they want to announce bad news - right before a holiday!
This new itinerary is definitely NOT something we would book. Just not interested in floating around the Med for 3 days and losing 5 ports: Athens, Ephesus, Naples, Corsica, Marseille - really??
They offer a similar itinerary later, but now it's going to be even colder, wetter and more $$...
If they want to try this new program out, let them announce it in a marketing blast rather than hijack and completely change the trip we purchased!
We will definitely cancel if not switched back....so very disappointed in how Regent is treating their 'luxury traveler'!!
Looking forward to any updates on this thread :)
