Whoa....a $500 OBC! Which is to say, that if you buy a $500 watch in the Boutique, said watch costs Regent probably $200....so there is your actual OBC while Regent makes an additional $300 off it. New President has been very quiet during this whole issue......Andrea, you out there??

Agree also. Have one at home that I "blast" but the one on Splendor just is not very good.

After all her past health issues, I suspect it is an emotional support dog.

She did on the Splendor cruise.

There were no announcements that she would perform....so lucky few who were in lounge thoroughly enjoyed her performance, even if only a brief one.

We were on a Splendor Caribbean about 18 months ago and she was also on board for that cruise. We were in 1201, a GS directly under the Regent Suite where she was staying. She performed one evening in the Splendor lounge with David Nevin. Like us, both Canucks.

Believe in our GS on Splendor in April, it was a Dyson. Of course, with only having 6 hair to dry, a fly passing me at high speed would have got me done.

We were in GS 1012 on Splendor in April doing a TA.....Very little noise at all. We will be in the same GS on Grandeur in July.

We definitely agree on this. Look forward to Grandeur in July.

And kids aren't typically chair hogs.

Have the pool and pool bar areas been busy?

We have been on 2 Splendor cruises over the past 18 months, with a Grandeur one coming up in July. If we felt it wasn’t worth the price, we would not be doing more. Also have sailed on Mariner, which was terrific. Did 2 Silversea cruises in between, but are now VERY loyal Regent clients. Doubt very much you would be disappointed.

Looking forward to Grandeur in July.

Then a hint here…..don’t check out Santa before you board….

Actually, they come in handy at Christmas when I give them out and tell the recipient I spent a fortune on their gift.

This "Southerner" knows what sleet means/is. Of course, being originally from Montreal and having lived in TO for 18 years, I "vaguely remember" experiencing it!

Thanks for your posts and pictures. After having been on Splendor twice over the past 18 months, and with a Grandeur cruise coming up in July I just find a noticeable difference from what O offers (via your pics) as to what Regent does. I would find the O decor a bit depressing and their canapés and "cocktail treats" to be very uninspiring. Looking very much forward to Grandeur, and all her....well....grandeur. I am not quite a "peach" but I do reside in Georgia!

Seems to be a site-wide issue with Grandeur roll calls. Ours for July is histoire.

Gourmet!

For us….July 22 in Barcelona.

Jude was CD on our Splendor TA in April../..she puts the Energizer Bunny to shame.

On our Splendor TA in April, we got a notification of a possible hack for our AmEx Platinum card. Resolved quickly but glad we had that 15 minutes to make us right.

On our last 2 Splendor cruises over the past 14 months or so, we have stayed in a Grand Suite. We were able to get into any dining venue with table for2 on any evening we chose. This perk is guaranteed, but what is not is the seating time. We had out butler arrange it each morning and Regent accommodated us within 30 minutes or so of our desired time. This past April we did a 12 day TA on Splendor and we’re able to eat at Prime 7 5 evenings.

We were in a Grand Suite twice on Splendor over the past 14 months, and were able to order rood service from any dining venue as long as they were open. We will be on Grandeur in July and trust this perk stays in place for us.

Agree…..and further downgrade hotels due to cost. Which would get even more people complaining. Our last 2 Splendor cruises had us staying in hotels that we felt were not up to the “first class experience” Regent promises, and the breakfasts on day of embarkation were very poor with cold food and warm juices. For our upcoming Grandeur cruise in July, we took credits and booked own air and hotels.
