DaveFr Posted October 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I believe Regent provides a tote bag in Concierge Suites and above. Hope this helps. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnr Posted October 9, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 9, 2022 We had a tote bag in our concierge suite on Splendor a couple of months ago. I’m not sure if that’s true on all the ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitob Posted October 9, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Why would I need a special request if they provide them in the category I am booked in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you enjoy your cruise. LP Actually the cruise is 2 legs -- I'm in PH for first leg and Grand Suite for second - lol - so I am sure I will get a tote bag. I loved doing the SS blog but now that Crystal is returning I don't think there is the same level of interest on the Crystal boards in finding other lines to sail. The diehards are going to back to Crystal no matter what. We are not going back -- ships are old and I am not happy with how things played out. I love Silversea. I have a ton of Regent cruises booked so I hope Iike it as much or more. We are traveling with 2 other couples with whom we have cruised often and meeting another Crystal cruiser on board. I expect to have nothing less than a great cruise. Thx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DaisyUK Posted October 12, 2022 #11 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Would be interested to read your thoughts. We used to sail Crystal but moved over to Regent and I don't think we'd go back to Crystal for the same reasons you cite, unless there was a very compelling reason to do so. We've also tried a couple of Cunard QG cruises this year. I'm curious about Silversea so will look up your blog. I'm sure you'll enjoy Regent; we were in a GS earlier this year on Explorer and enjoyed it very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I’ll have a small audience my ss blog on the crystal boards is very detailed. Every menu posted. Tons of photos. We loved it we did our first Cunard qg cruise last year on queen Elizabeth. Decided to try qm2 b2b ta next year. We love sea days 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Crystal Boards on Regent board? I expect "one Crystal diehard" will say it is inappropriate to post on Crystal -- but the Crystal folks may be waiting of a year to cruise on Crystal -- they have to learn about other lines.

lincslady Posted October 13, 2022 #19 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Definitely not - I think it was Silversea. I have cruised, many years ago, with Royal Caribbean, but am a bit too snobbish to display their bags! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is always good to read reviews from those new to Regent on this board. Perhaps put a link to the thread on the new(?) Crystal Board so that those interested in trying alternative cruise experiences can read a balanced report. Some Crystal die-hards may only be interested in negative comments about other cruise lines to reinforce their blinkered views 🤨 🤔 Maybe we are guilty of the same as regular Regent aficionados 😉 😎 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am headed back to Regent - there is no Crystal. Seabourn and Silversea don't have the same itinerary. The itinerary fits my need to cruise. I don't expect it to be Crystal. I am sure I will be able to give a balanced review. As they say, Time will tell Edited October 13, 2022 by ChatKat in Ca. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just had a running commentary open Seabourn by Roland 4 (who btw will be on Regent with me) I’d say if there is a modicum of comparison to it then the Crystal board makes sense (with maybe a link to it from the Regent board) - don’t worry about what others might say, the CC Hosts have not pulled comparison threads before and live from threads are encouraged. I’d say putting it on the Regent board and then comparing to Crystal will just antagonise the Regent die hards As Chatkat correctly points out Crystal classic is simply no longer and no one knows what the new Crystal will offer when they resume - but a comparison between old Crystal and Regent is still appropriate as many of us have the old Crystal as our benchmark (for me I only sailed Crystal with one excursion to Seabourn which did not work for us) You're in good company with Roland4 who we’ve been lucky to sail with - he and Mrs Roland are very experienced cruisers - and relaxed so I’m sure you’ll enjoy a nice drink and chat in the equivalent of the Palm Court 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigosea Posted October 13, 2022 #23 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Tote bags, luggage tags and lovely trivia prizes and jackets. Who cares what jacket or tote we use? I pick the best quality tote. Lined with inner zipped pockets. And quality counts. NOT the tote just offered on Seabourn Quest which I left for them to pawn off with chocolates which were not so good. We frequent cruisers know and appreciate quality gifts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PaulMCO Posted October 13, 2022 #24 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Maybe I should wear my Crystal or Silversea Explorer shirts, bring my Seabourn Windbreaker. DW should wear her Viking Princess headwear, that will bring back memories. Post the review or running commentary on Crystal. We should have enough regulars onboard.
