  1. We are doing 3 x B2B2B Mediterranean Cruises on the Navigator this Fall.

    My husband is celebrating a Birthday on the switch-over day from Cruise #1 to Cruise #2.

    I'm trying to think of some way to make it extra special.

    Obviously I will contact Regent directly but has anyone else done or planned something to celebrate an important event?

    Can we order a more expensive bottle of champagne or anything like that?

    Thanks.

  2. Anyone with experience, do you know what Hotel(s) are used by Regent for Pre-Cruise in Rome?

    We have been several times and had always used the same hotel, which is now closed.....

    We will spend one night in Rome and either book a transfer, or take the train to Civitavecchia in the morning.

    Thanks.

  3. Thank you Portolon

    Yes, we leave on the 31st out of Reykjavik.   Excited for our first Regent Experience.

    We're not too concerned about what is there for set up, and I know we can discuss with our steward, it was more just curiosity.

    I won't mention the Guinness 'situation' to my husband, as he is a 'lover' of such!  (LOL but easily adaptable)

    Curious if they might have Strongbow Cider onboard?  (my favourite)

    We don’t have air tags and think we should get some. Do they go inside your luggage or on it? Do they use cellular data?  That could get costly. Obviously, I don’t know how they work.  (Don’t laugh)

    I am with you rcandkc... we are considering getting them for our upcoming trip and I'm not sure how it all works....

    We are on Splendor as we speak, and also received an unexpected upgrade to a Concierge D, after booking a GTY H.

     

    We received the four logins and have made use of them without any difficulty. It's as if they never recognized that we had paid for a lower category. We had figured we'd end up in a G2, G1, or, at best, an F2 or F1, and had assumed that we'd have to pay to have multiple logins, so this was a very nice surprise.

     

    The WiFi itself is not fast enough for streaming - we haven't even tried - but it's adequate for email, reading the news and uploading photos at reduced resolution to Facebook, which is all we need.

     

    If you want to watch video on your devices, I would think your best bet would be to download some before leaving home. I did so with Hulu, HBO Max and Apple TV. Interestingly, I discovered that while we are in port, Hulu picks up on our location and refuses to play even the downloaded videos due to international copyright restrictions. However, once we are in international waters, the downloaded videos become available again. To be honest, there's so much to do on the ship and on shore that we haven't found the need to watch anything, even on the TV, but I did watch a couple of old Frasier episodes, which I had pre-downloaded, last night to help myself get to sleep.

    Thanks for the info Chateaunole-du-pape.  Just curious, when did you receive your GTY room assignment? (how far ahead of your cruise?)  Thx.

    When we were on our Splendor cruise in Jan/Feb I was able to be logged on to my wife’s iPad and my iPhone at the same time for the duration of the cruise, no logging in or out. We were in an F1. Just try logging in and see what happens

    I was wondering, if one of us logs on with our phone, could the other one 'tether' off of them?  Has anyone tried that?

    My bad. I did not see the period in the sentence: “No. Login is required regardless of where you are on the ship. “ 😁🤪😱.   Old man syndrome. Glad I asked and you challenged me. I feel better now. My last job was worldwide cyber security responsibility for a major international corporation. I saw a lot of wild stuff going on and I am still paranoid about cyber security.

    LOL.  Punctuation for the win!! 🙂
