An idea that would allow this cruise to go forward.
Depart from the SF Bay Area where the Mariner is now or from Seattle. Do not go to the Canadian ports, Vancouver and Victoria, but do Alaska and then before returning to LA go to Ensenada and then back to LA. Skipping Victoria on the way south should allow for the time needed to go to Ensenada and then back to LA.
Ralph, they would have to start and end in the same USA port; so SF to SF or LA to LA would work; my one question is: Why? What does Regent have to gain to send a half empty ship to Alaska and WHY would Alaska cruise ports open up for just one ship at end of season?
edited to add: According to website Regent still hasn't put Alaska sailings starting 5 August on waitlist; we could make a slow 25% if we wanted to have more money tied up in Regent.
