BTW they do have the "rotating pasta selections" at compass rose too. DW likes pasta so she can get it at compass if I want something else besides Setti's other offerings.

Yes, the second time we went we told them we didn't need them. Wasn't a problem. Now the Bread.....

Don't forget the Grappa !

Probably $$$$. Our ship regent seven seas explorer is the only ship in port on Jan 28th so it is puzzling why they don't use the port.

Thanks for the update and apologies it wasn't your department, please do pass this along to whoever's it was, causeda very anxious day.

and the zoo is closer to the new port after your post I called again to book and this agent was able to add me.

"Yes we just spoke with Regent and they advised the same. They suggested we try back next week." from TA Given that the offerings are fairly limited they better be able to accommodate peoples wishes.

same with regent Portside Cruise Terminal in Brisbane has ceased activities and, effective immediately, is no longer accepting calls of cruise ships. We have therefore revised the itinerary for your 2023 Seven Seas Explorer cruise. The originally planned overnight call to Brisbane, Australia on January 28 & 29, 2023, will be replaced with a day at sea and a visit to the town of Mooloolaba, Australia. In addition, Seven Seas Explorer will sail to Newcastle, Australia on January 27, instead of the originally scheduled sea day. Just north of Brisbane, Mooloolaba boasts some of Queensland’s most beautiful beaches while Newcastle is the gateway to the Hunter Valley wine region and scenic area of Port Stephens.

It's not me - others on the roll call and tried too @irishwitchyposted the shore ex pdf. I called regent and actually got right through, but they said they don't have any shore-ex loaded for those ports yet. Keystone cops....

I get that but don't say what the said in the letter - maybe coming soon would be better wording.

Are the regent air bookings eligible for AAdvantage miles ?

Shouldn't happen maybe on carnival but not regent.

You would think that before they sent this out, they verified that indeed the shore-ex were load and functioning or at least send out a PDF with the shore ex descriptions!

Got this and it says shore ex for the new ports are available online -NOPE @mikemoorecome on man!

The original fare was decent but definitely leaving a bad taste in my mouth. At least they could offer an OBC or partial OBC. As far a lost perhaps I'll see as this is my first SS cruise and if it doesn't compare to regent definitely lost and either way I would wait to book if booking a port to port.

from TA : I've been in contact with Silversea regarding the current price difference. The lower rate of $15,500 ($7,750 per person) cannot be honored on your existing reservation, you are currently holding the "port to port" which is non refundable and cannot be re-priced or changed

No, we usually can get the 90 days supply since we live in Belize most of the time and one of us goes back every 90 days or so. Usually only issue is the hydro.

good input hopefully coming off the cruise ship will be easier than flying into indonesia

still waiting to hear from TA

One is schedule B the other schedule C, Hopefully with a doctors note it will be approved with vacation override. Laws are made for the worst of society.

Going on a long cruise originating in Auckland NZ ends in Bali and a layover in Singapore. DW has some prescription drugs requiring approval from the various governments. Don't think Australia will be an issue since we won't carry any off the ship. Bali and Singapore require approval and she can have up to 1 month supply. However, NZ is the issue as she will be coming in with supply for the 45 days we are gone. So, if NZ won't approve that what are the other options. For instance can you send the supply to Regent and have them hold them with the ships doctor or nurse? Surely people on Grand voyages and WC have a need for medications on these longer voyages, how do they get them?

Couldn't agree more, I would cringe on our last cruise at sitting in the theater for so long - when they could stagger the times for people.
