Transferees from Voyager are being welcomed on board and being referred to as the "refugees." Captain Felicci is going out of his way to welcome them all. Some have already been invited to dine with him. A great thing about the Captain is that his tables are small with only five or six people so all can converse. It has been great to see old friends.

There are both sides of the story from those boarding. Some arrived in Bali and had four nights there. These were full cruisers and it was their first trip on Regent. They are greatly impressed and plan to travel with us again. One couple I talked to had absolutely no idea there was even a problem. They arrived in Dubai to board the ship, were taken to one side and given twenty minutes to make up their mind. That would blow me away.

Bangkok today with about 70 of us choosing to stay aboard. We are offered a shuttle bus to the beach city up the way but they are charging $50 for it. That seems grossly overpriced, especially for the full world cruisers.

Another plus for John. In spite of most guests being gone, he has games and also Trivia organized for us. This is something that Voyager did not do. Sure would be great to see him on WC 2010.
