I have been looking at several different land trips for 2009. Reason - Regent is about to out price me with the itineraries I find appealing. I have one onboard booking left to place with Regent next year, but I don't know if I will make another (onboard) on my only cruise this year - GAME/SAMBA. The 2010 schedules and pricing will not be out by this time - I'm guessing - but I can't see the prices doing anything but rising. I love their product and to abandon them after 9 years would be sad. But enough is enough!
And to stay on topic - the new ship should have the balcony partitions go all the way to the rail as they were on the Diamond!
