Don’t count on Regent…
We signed up for and went on a cruise from Barcelona to Southampton. The itinerary included stops in Casablanca and Saint Malo the latter of which is the location for Mount Saint Michelle. Both were dropped in favor of very limited and, many would say undesirable, ports with the attendant tours eliminated. The excuses given were tides and weather. The weather was beautiful and tides are known years in advance. Several fellow passengers commented that they or friends had had the same thing happen on earlier but recent Regent cruises. Having been to several of the stops before, I was particularly looking forward to seeing Casablanca and Mt San Michelle in particular. That’s why I picked this cruise over others. I know that the fine print gives Regent the opportunity to change Porch, but their rationale really doesn’t stack up.. or should I say ‘hold water’? The excuses given don’t make sense, but I do recall watching download working with what appeared to be a tender operation training program as we boarded the ship in Monaco. Maybe they didn’t want to operate them as advertised. On the bright side the food was great, the service likewise, and the ship beautiful and comfortable. That’s what kept me from giving only one or two stars.
