I have not been commenting much on this thread as I have been on a ship since this went up on the RSSC site and being on a ship the internet is very slow to experiment with the new system. Plus it seems to be a moving target as they get it all sorted out anyway.

First Margo you can always reserve a table for three or five even if you are a single traveller and then invite people to join you. Or ask others to add you to their reservation as was suggested.

I cannot be sure but I am highly suspect of the information that you can simply get cash for your shipboard credits once you board. I just do not think that is accurate information. It is possible that whowever posted that was told that by a regent representative but we have discussed this before. VERY FEW shipboard credits are available for cash most having to be used while on the ship.

The back to back issue is really something that does need to be fixed. It is not just on this excursion/dining reservation screen. There are problems with any back to back voyages now with most having to be split into different invoices. It is a big complication.

The Vikings 5/8/09 cruise appears to be falling in a black hole. Has anyone been able to pre-pay for excursions for one of the segments of Viking?

Perhaps this voyage is still on the old system?

The system before was on line or by fax and you could not pay for the excursions they were by request only. It was only a rare situation that a request was not filled. So perhaps that is how the 5/8/09 Voyager is probably going to work.

I suggest you just fax in your requests if you cannot do it online. I bet all works out just fine.
