Hi Everyone:

Jan and I decided to book this back-to-back cruise.
Big reason is the savings on the Regent Air, and only have one flight going and one flight coming home.
Our thought was we would probably want to do a cruise similar to both of these so why not go for it now.
WE are sure hoping and have our fingers crossed that there will be someone from LCT that will join us.
PLEASE. SOMEONE JOIN US!

Jim, we get on the day you get off; some day we will coordinate schedules better.

Sure wish we had someone from LCT going with us.

Jim, Go sit at the bar in one of the lounges before dinner and get shared tables. You will meet lots of good people and make new friends that way.

Yea I know. You have told me that a number of times. Just not our normal comfort zone.

WOW! Thank you, Nancy Golden, this is why we book our Regent Cruises through Keene Luxury Travel.
Just got an email from her with a big price reduction on this cruise. What a big help that is.

Checking to see if anyone on LCT will be joining us?

Thank you Kate at KLT
She helped us get really good flights from Billings to Bali and return flights from Auckland to Billings.
Thank you Kate!!

Note from Jennifer.
Monday is final payment for Sydney to Auckland part of our cruise.

Just did dinner reservations today. Actually forgot about them until today.

Having all kinds of issues with both Indonesia and Australia visas.
Gina is working on them.

Still no response on the visa.
Have made all the specialty restaurants reservations.

Received the visa Thursday morning!

Have all the requirements we need. Even have our Med-Jet ready to go.

December 7th we need to do our Indonesia online health report.
Has to be done before we get there.
Will also need to do one for New Zealand while on board 72 hours before arriving,.

Almost done with our 1st half of our cruise. It has been great.
Today is Christmas Eve and the ship is full of Christmas excitement. Santa even showed up.
Have a few very young kids on board so that was a bib deal.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Glad you're having a good time!

Sorry I have not responded to your posts. Been a bit under the weather but better now. Christmas onboard is always fun!!

Met two of Susan's clients while on board.
