I checked my emails right after I read your post and I have nothing! Was it forwarded by your TA or sent to you directly by Regent? thanks for the port info, my itinerary says Barcelona as well but for me is just a stop not embarkation

I’m on your cruise, boarding earlier in Rome. Don’t know the answer to your question but my comment is UGH, here we go again! On a different question, have you heard anything new about Barcelona being the embarkation port?

I lived in Westfield many years , that was my mall

Short Hills Mall! Would that be near Summit, NJ by any chance?

I might be wrong, but didn’t FDR retire?

Agree! All this unnecessary angst!

If you think Regent has your back if you purchase air from them, I suggest you read the thread on the Voyager Israel cruise

As long as Regent has cruises operating during the weekend, and for which they have contracted with passengers to transport them to embarkation port, it seems to me they need to provide service during those weekend hours. If they can’t they shouldn’t offer air as part of their so called services

Wish I knew the answer to that question… prices nowadays are dynamic, always changing. If prices go down you might no get cash back but you can get a credit to use on a future flight

You can book directly with airlines much earlier than 210 days out. For example, in Delta and AA you can book 331 days in advance

The only sane course of action. Im glad they awoke from their stupor

What it shows to me is that Celebrity, or its parent company Royal Caribbean, its not nuts to go to Egypt

As history has shown us, staying onboard the ship while in Egypt might not be the best course of action. At this point in time this itinerary is nuts

The difference might be that in our daily lives we’re not paying about a $1,000 per day for the privilege of going into into a war zone

I don’t even know if that’s necessarily safe, the Achille Lauro comes to mind…

Agree 100%

I can’t believe ports in Egypt are part of the mix! Just today an Egyptian cop opened fire against Israeli tourists and killed 2.

Someone would have to be crazy to even contemplate going there

100% agree with your last comment. Sounds like deceiving advertising to me

Agree 100%. In a case like this the customer should be given an opt out and a credit. How can Regent still say “ free excursions “ when there are none to be had?

What segment did you walk?

Over the hill??? Ive met you and your lovely wife and you are certainly not over the hill! I’m older than you , did my last Camino, the Camino Ingles, in 2019 and other segments in the years prior . You just need to do a little endurance training and would be good to go! You shouldn’t give up on it

Pilgrims arrive every day to Santiago, I’ve done it 4 times. They swing the Botafumeiro on special occasions or when someone or a group of people contribute 300 euros, nowadays is mostly every day at least during one of the masses, it’s quite a spectacle. Santiago is a very special place and it’s Cathedral is awe inspiring

Never been in that situation, sounds unpleasant

I’m wondering, how’s your “ personal space” defined? Has it been defined? Really,if you’re bothered by any of this a cruise is not for you. And I don’t mean just because of Covid, I mean because there have always been communicable diseases on cruises. If I get a bad cold , Covid, or whatever on my upcoming Splendor cruise I’m not planning to come here and making a big announcement, it’s nobody’s business
