Sad to say goodbye

We have travelled with Regent SSC on a number of previous occasions and have always enjoyed every minute. However during our recent trip around New Zealand and Australia we decided to book another package to Japan in 2025. It was then we became aware of the additional benefit that was being offered to our American cousins, namely "FREE BUSINESS CLASS FLIGHTS." When we queried why us British passengers were not offered this benefit we were told well its not really free it is a marketing ploy which would not be allowed in the UK under current UK marketing legislation. So my American friends be aware, be very aware when words like free are used to promote a Regent SSC product. As for us, Regent are a lost cause we have even returned our loyalty pins so they can use them as FREE gifts for their next generation of punters. we in the meantime are looking at alternative companies with whom we can spend our money, and yes, there are several in the market. I would add though that the ships staff we came across were extremely helpful and very friendly. Finally the correspondence with Regent in the UK with their office in Southampton was in my view second rate, they have not even bothered to thank me for returning our loyalty pins.
