Do you know if Drew, the Asst CD is staying on or will he be leaving in S’Pore also?

 

He is leaving.  Both Andrew and Nicole (ACD) are already on board.

Dean is fantastic, I hope he has a long career with Regent.

Super duper FANTASTIC! I completely agree!

I went to La Veranda to get a photo of a statue. Saw this small boat.

Apparently this man walks on water!

We had a very nice greeting.

Life on the train tracks

Announcing WC swap to a different ship?
Announcing some special people joining Mariner soon?
Announcing the dry dock changes for Mariner/Voyager?

Really!  I had to squint to see it through the smeared ink.  Yes, @Kwaj girl I kept looking for the date.

How about Navigator is being sold and a new build announcement.

There is a new build coming...but I would be quite sad to see Navigator go.

Good Morning Semarang!

 

We skipped our excursion but Patrick @MarinerLad and Ross got these great photos.  
Highlights of Semarang 

Grand Mosque of Central Java

Adjacent Hosna Tower. Restaurant on the 9th floor.

An Excellent view of  Sam Poo Kong Chinese Temple 
Old Town

Waiting in the theater. Massimo and Nino are the Greeters. Jennifer Teegen is here 
She got on in Bali. Serving drinks and hors d’oeuvres.

Total PR meeting. She spoke about the new Immersive cruises. They flashed a map of the 2027 World cruise. It looked a lot like this one.

We are so anxious to hear more about the ‘27 WC. Anything more that you remember about the itinerary would be much appreciated!!

 

With the splendor taking over the WC, is the navigator the ship on the chopping block or could it be the mariner? I have no idea but it makes me wonder.

The itinerary starts in Miami and ends in Rome but you can extend it to New York.  I think she said 122 days or 14-16 extra days.  It goes to New Zealand and Australia and Africa.  The map looked a lot like ours.  It was on the screen for less than a minute.  We world cruisers are supposed to be the first to see the itinerary.  You will be the second! John the CD introduced Jennifer.  She didn’t speak.  She will be available for questions tomorrow at 4:30 in Coffee Connection.

So Miami to New York for sure for 2027?  Not round-trip Miami?  Sigh.  There goes any hope I might have had of convincing DH to delay to 2027.  He loves the true circumnavigation aspect of the 2026 round-trip Miami WC.  Ah well, I still look forward to seeing the itinerary when it comes out.

It IS  a true "circumnavigation"  -  east coast US to east coast US.

Also mentioned that the 2027 WC will be on a ship that has never done a WC before. So not Mariner or Navigator. Bets are on Explorer.

 

Also said that Starlink will be rolled out to the rest of the fleet by the end of 2024.

 

And an upcoming website enhancement will enable us to revise excursion requests online.

 

Doesn’t sound like the much-desired holistic revamp of the website is in the offing.

 

The rest was mostly infomercial for things already announced.

Rumor is that the Splendor (our fave ship) is taking the WC.
