I got ahold of Regent's air/sea desk finally. Seems like I was the first to tell them about this change. Nice going Air Tahiti Nui!!

As you might assume, there are quite a few of the Regent air/sea passengers affected by this. We have all been rebooked on Air France leaving LAX at 5:10 arriving at 10:30. Regent has quite a few phone calls to make!! So it looks like the ship may sail a bit late and we'll all miss out on dinner the first night. I can't get through to Air France to get seat assignments. I may still try to get on the flight tonight, I'll see what the situation is when we arrive in LA this afternoon. I'd rather spend a day in Papeete than hanging around LAX until 5 pm tomorrow.
