  1. Well, KJ, as luck would have it Iโ€™m also a retired Navy pilot and Iโ€™ll take papaโ€™s drink๐Ÿ˜€
  2. We also have a GTY for the Feb 5 cruise. F1. I'm beginning to wonder if we may see the buyout situation arise. I don't want it, but this cruise has been waitlisted for a long time and the interest in Grandeur is very high.
  3. Thanks. You had me hoping for some magic search! "Find me all of AA's low mileage destinations"๐Ÿ˜
  4. How does one check for AA's "super low" mileage requirement fares? TIA.
  5. Does time of year make any difference in visiting the falls?
  6. Do you have any status with AA? I am under the impression that some level (Platinum maybe) allows free seat selection with BA if booked thru AA. (and maybe even if you book direct with BA). Also, I am wondering how important it is to book specific seats in business when my perception is that all seats are the same configuration. DW is OK by herself! (maybe better) ๐Ÿ™‚
  7. It's true these boards are to share experiences. However, when one reads that the food in both Sette Mari and Chartreuse is "tasteless", one cannot be faulted for wondering where that came from.
  8. Thanks, CDR, for your thorough review! Navy here also. I am especially interested in your electric scooter. It sounded as if you did not have it up the gangway. Did you rent through Regent and how did GMB use it on the ship? DW is looking for a scooter as we speak but I'm unclear about the requirements if we want one on a ship.
  9. Thank you. I was wondering if any of it was actually covered.
  10. Since 3 of our 9 dining venues on the Nova are in the outdoor Marquee (and since we are booked on a May Alaska cruise, daytime 55/40's at dinner), I was wondering if anyone can comment on the utility of this venue during cool weather. I know we have limited experience so far but has anyone determined if there are effective warming capabilities. TIA.
  11. Thanks! I have it confirmed that the bath and tub are separate.
  12. I'm replying to my own post! Only because I am confused, and my TA might be also. On the website under suites, it describes the deluxe veranda suites with the water drop as having a large shower or a bathtub and shower combination, If you go to ships, click on Nova, click on the deck plan and scroll down to suites, it says under all the veranda suites they have a large shower or a separate bathtub and a separate shower. My TA thinks this is the accurate description and it should be as it appears to be Nova specific. However, I (and DW) would love to have confirmation of this. :). TIA!
  13. I have booked a deluxe veranda suite on the Nova and just noticed we have a shower/bathtub combo (a little water drop on the suite denotes this). I have looked through videos and cannot find this configuration. Can anyone comment on the difficulty of getting in and out of the tub/shower? DW has trouble with high edges on the tubs. TIA
  14. Pic from the top of Las Ramblas this past May. Zoom in๐Ÿค”
  15. Let us know how that layover in the Dulles Polaris lounge goes๐Ÿ˜€ TIA
  16. Agree it's because of the King. Or, in a more general sense the center of politics similar to the largesse handed out around our Capital.๐Ÿ˜€
  17. I forgot about Ray in the OB. He was the saving grace for entertainment. He was very talented.
  18. Hi jjs, We were on the Barcelona-London cruise and also enjoyed it. We're long time Regent cruisers and have been on O a lot but years ago. I have to ask what you thought about one aspect of our cruise. I thought the entertainment was way below pre covid. The Regent orchestra in the Meridian lounge pre dinner was not good. We did not go to see the comedian who I understand was very good. What did you think?
  19. Hi Welsh, Just returned from the Splendor which had a stop in Casablanca. We took a tour to Rabat which visited the Hassan 2 mosque in Casablanca and then went to Rabat. Riding through Casablanca was depressing and I thought the whole excursion was going to be a downer. However, just outside of Rabat everything changed and the city was fantastic. Everyone I talked to was disappointed in Casablanca. Sorry, but thought you ought to know.
  20. Good for you! I didn't see it. It is extra. And I thought I was so careful to show it correctly.
  21. My first time using Regent air and have great nonstop flights. The first one from Dulles to Barcelona is with United. Somehow my name on the United site (in my account) is written (not my real name:)) Paultstephen Miller instead of Paul Stephen Miller. Same with DW. My very experienced TA with a professional TA firm tells me no worry, it happens to her and no problem. I have uploaded my passport with picture on the United flight and have a hard copy "Ready to Fly" so I think I'm OK. However, anyone had any experience with typos in their name when flying?
