Regent,,,now offering Concierge Class

[alexandra cruiser]

which makes me wonder...how will this still be considered "luxury"line,,seems more like "premium economy" or similar,,such as Oceania....will start in April 2012...have one booked for Dec..2011,,,but not sure I like this 2 tier thing....gives extra time to book "free "excursions,,,some book up NOW....and early reservations for premium rest....etc........going on Seabourn in 3 wks,,,,this may determine which cruiseline to book in future....opinions???PS..dont see any price drop,,,for the non concierge cabins...think its a huge mistake....

in most rooms to shower only,,a big drawback for me...the Seabourn last week was top of the line,,now regret booking one in Dec....also,,hearing the "free"excursions booked up fast on one before mine,,many now waitlisted...no bargain if the one you want,,,even free,,,is not available....don t like the changes...any thoughts??

Funny
On Oceania everyone was complaining about not having tubs in the lower Category cabins
Now enter Marina with tubs in all but the inside cabins...everyone is complaining about the tubs & do not want them

Go Figure

As for free excursion we very seldom do ship's tours so of not consequence to us...just because they are FREE does not make them good

Where did you see they were removing the tubs?
I did not see any mention on their website

and said the cabins with star next would be switching to showers only,,,must look carefully or would not see change...but did get one with tub....apparently keeping SOME....

Not sure why the change,,like the choice of BOTH>...was esp.nice in Norway,,where cold...

We took excursions last Nov...and some good,,some soso...DK likes scuba,etc..and I like island tours,,etc...so we go separately...
