I know it is not Regent's fault (except for building ships with pods) but I wonder how many people boarded in Singapore looking forward to their first visit to the Taj Mahal? I hope Regent will make arrangements for them to travel from Cochin if possible. If not, the compensation better be significant.

As for a dry dock in Dubai, I imagine that there are plenty of empty hotel rooms now where Regent can put the passengers and crew for a day or two.
