We are Gold and enjoyed the free pressing on our Panama Canal Cruise, although I don't remember it being unlimited.
Our Gold event was dinner with the Captain in the Cigar Lounge. Turned out very nice and was a small affair as there were very few gold/platinum on the ship. We have a signed photo with the captain but I think that is a silly perk and one I would gladly skip. Free internet is my favorite and I like knowing I have some free phone time in case I need it. I haven't used it yet. After all, when I'm on a ship I want to forget the rest of the world!
From the beginning, I felt that the rewards program was not thought out well. They announced it, were late delivering it, the ideas looked rushed and now they've done a poor re-vamp according to what I am reading here.
Cherise, you may have the right idea. If you have one of the cards stating the perks, take it along with you. They would have a hard time not honoring it. Why would Regent want to creat ill-will with their best customers?
