Re the new website and excursions:
I called Regent's toll-free number regarding my May 1, 2009 transatlantic cruise, to obtain excursion forms by email, and was told that they would not be available until 50 days before sailing. The representative also did not know when the site would be back up for online booking.
This is a little thing, but given how expensive these trips are becoming, I am more than a little disappointed.
