There is a big sale coming next week on Regent and it affects many cruises. These are cruises on the Voyager, Mariner, Navigator, but NOT the Paul Gauguin.

As Marc mentioned in another post I always feel like these things come out just as I leave town. I have been working with my office all day via email but we do not have all the details yet. Some cruises will have free shore excursions added, some will have rate decreases.

I do believe this will affect and reduce ALL of my 2009 escorted cruises. Some of the Asian Cruises will have an offer of $999.00 one way upgrade to Business Class Air, I know this is the case on DRAGON, on 10/17/09.

Nothing can be done until everything is announced early next week. We hope to have all the information by Monday or Tuesday of next week and will be sending out an email to all our clients who are affected.

It is going to be a huge undertaking to adjust and re-invoice all these bookings, we literally have hundreds of invoices to redo. I request your understanding in not emailing the office and asking about your particular voyage. We will methodically work and check all the dates affected and adjust all bookings accordingly to whatever is to the best benefit of each of our clients. It will simply slow us down to answer all the individual emails about your individual cruise.

I appreciate your understanding and if there is anything non-urgent please just wait a little while to contact the office so they can work through all these bookings and get things adjusted. As you can imagine RSSC will be swamped pulling all this together as well, so we will not be able to adjust your booking until we receive confirmation from RSSC and make sure all discounts are transferred to the new bookings.

I sincerely appreciate your co-operation as we work through this big project. Thank You.
