I really don't know anything about this rebate/cruise credit deal, but it wouldn't surprise me if the TA and Regent have worked out something to subtly encourage people to spend the rebate on on-board items like good wine. If you are given a large cruise credit, you may be tempted to spend it when you wouldn't lay out the cash. Both the TA and Regent could possibly benefit if this were the case. I guess I'm a believer in conspiracies.
