While you might be correct if this went to court believe I read in the Ts &Cs require that if filed it goes to arbitration. They have to be served in king county Washington. So no trial. Time will tell

Seabourn like probably all cruise lines protect themselves from issues like this stabilizer issue. Wonder if you have read the ticket contract and Ts&Cs an old adage is that contracts are written to protect the writer Not saying we would be happy with the way this was handled but when booking a cruise one has to be aware of what can occur and the limitations in the contract one agrees to when booking. sorry you can’t accept what has been provided but don’t believe you have a choice. good luck

Certainly hope not. 29 days sounds like a long AA meeting!!!

Interesting, was finally able to get to the page where I could make the described changes and clicked the Pref's link and got mostly a blank screen. Possibly because my cruise is not until June but, no way thee to change or even see any possible Pref"s????? Thanks in advance,

Rather than wait on seabourn suggest you and/or ta contact seabourn. Your cruise is less than 60 days away and have to believe they should have an answer. From what I have read in this thread South Georgia is out for this season

There is no promise/guarantee for any port/stop on any cruise line for any cruise. This is clearly stated in all cruise line Ts &Cs. agree missing South Georgia would not be a good thing but you take your chances with EVERY cruise you book.

Just need to remember that excursions are sometimes cancelled even after departure so availability is one thing but, will that excursion you booked for actually occur. Chances are they will occur but, sometimes they don't. Just like ports you book for may get cancelled at the last minute for circumstances beyond your control.

No way to know as you have to remember that $7k refund covers the entire US and Canada so for instance the fares are less from the west coast. Relatively sure all their air costs are for the average costs for the entire country. and since nonstops generally are higher than multiple stop flights so even if they have contracted rates for your itinerary there might be an up charge to go non stop.

From our trip on Quest a few years ago in mid December temps weren’t cold low 30s the coldest and we wore too much. Especially trudging there the snow we were quite warm wearing mid weight long underwear with long sleeve shirt Most important is waterproof pants and if doing it again just the waterproof over the thermal underwear. IMHO buying all they recommend is overkill waste of money and if walking a lot you will sweat.

What about the days lost going back to Ushuaia ?

Nobody is out of work from my original post. Tha ex presidents will have salaries on $500,000 plus perks as “advisers” starting Jan 1 just read the filed 10K link posted eariier in this thread.

Not necessarily falklands. In normal times fewer than 50% of scheduled stops actually occur. We are 5o% 1 out of 2 stops occurred.

Guess not a big deal when presidents of both Regent as nd Oceania are suddenly removed and suddenly replaced with th previous presidents becoming “advisors” thought Montegue was well liked??

Do you really think the port parking garage is more secure than a public garage?? And the only thing the hotel could tell the OP is whether the garage at the hotel is public or private, likely private. To find out if you could park for multiple days in any garage is first determine if the garage you want to park in was public and then simply google the public authority owning the garage for any parking limitations with a handicapped identification.

Regarding Saturday and Sunday. That is the job the porters signed up for. Most of the cruise traffic in Miami is Sat and Sunday. Many fewer departures/arrivals on weekdays. Likely higher pay on the weekend keeps them working. As to finding your bags that is at the end of your cruise and much more effort by the longshoremen at that point than at the beginning where the luggage is simply added to the available cart and pushed to the ship so not pertinent to this thread..

Good luck on 3 days. Am guessing you are unaware of changes in the air department. No change in the 270 days the difference is that requests go in writing with priority to the closest cruises and reports of weeks to get initial responses to 270 day requests some reports of many weeks to get a response. Not even TAs can phone the air department. Reason was identified as staffing issues. Requests now go to reservations who forward to the air dept. hope you get your offers sooner rather than later.

Don't believe there is any requirement to fly thru a Gateway City. Rather than wanting decent flights at reasonable prices you should be trying for reasonable flights with no upcharge. Suggest you provide Regent you preferred flights including Houston/Dallas and see what the response is from Regent. Remember you can request an unlimited number of flights and only pay the deviation fee once you agree. Good luck

The simple answer is no menus are not available prior to the cruise commencing.

Are you aware that you can get a partial refund for now using the pre cruise hotel since you live in the area and then just dive to the pot with a few extra bucks in your pocket??

Another possibility I have used on numerous ships is to prop the suite door open with a trash can or something similar which gives the signal a route to your computer avoiding the steel walls. YMMV

Regent generally chooses flights where they have contracts with the airlines that have contract availability when the time comes for Regent to book. Beyond flights under contract, like any company will choose the lower cost flights. As far as having an input as was said read the sticky about flights with or without deviation. Quite a bit of great info but, lots of posts to sort thru. The basics are if you don't deviate and pay the $175 pp fee for the deviation you have no input into the fights assigned. That said deviations start 270 days prior to your embarkation and even with the deviation fee, the sooner you request the deviation the better for you to get your chosen itinerary. If you have specific questions after reading the stickled thread many of us will be able to answer your specific questions

The airfare is indeed free (included) while the $498 us a fee that goes to Regent for MKE being a non-gateway city and is not air fare or goes to the airline Nothing to fix, a Non gateway fee is NOT air fare and the website is correct.

I will explain. Regent only guarantees the over water portion of your flights. Connecting domestic flights such as ORD connecting in the US to your overwater to Rome are subject to airline availability snd may or may not be in first your flight from MIA to ORD for sure will be coach as no overwater connecting flight. As far as the flights you will be booked on without deviating they will be flights available at the booking time of approx 75 days out and have lower cost to Regrnt so connections can be in many different cities and airlines. hope this helps. Without deviating at 270 days out you pays your money and take your chances.

Actually since most people are on sustaining mes with 90 day supply there are ways to get enough for a long trip without paying extra is simply tell the pharmacist you are going on a long tand they can then give you a new 90 day supply. Also you don't have to wait for 90 days to refill. Have never had problems with refills ordering the refills after approx. 60 days so starting early you can get quite a supply to complete your trip.
