Booked another Regent cruise on a 2-for-1

Joanandjoe · September 23, 2008

We couldn't resist an offer of two-for-one fare with free airfare, and booked a nine day Eastern Mediterranean cruise from Istanbul to Civitavecchia (Rome) on the Regent Seven Seas Navigator, October 30 to November 8, 2009. We received our confrmation a few minutes ago.

We hope that some Crazies will join us. The two for one ends on October 15th. We know that the cruise is about the same time as the Connie goes Crazy group cruise; but we can't be the only ones who perfer the Mediterranean to the Caribbean.

:biggrin:

Congrats on the new booking. :thumbup: On a side note is this sort of generous offer typical of Regent or maybe does the downturn in the economy have something to do with price packaging like this? Just curious. I received a Regent brochure recently with all sorts of reductons and as I had not requested it I wonder about the timing of this and the economy.

We were thinking the same thing. 2-for-1s were common on Regent, but they almost disappeared. Now they're back. We think they raised the prices to much, then had to make good offers in order to get people to book. At about $4,000 including tips, booze, and air, plus around $700 in fuel surcharges and miscellaneous charges (for a 300 square foot room), this 9 day cruise compares favorably in cost to 10 day cruises on the mainstream lines such as HAL or X.

I agree!! I hope some day we can get a chance like this one. Cheers, Larry :smile:
