USA Today's Gene Sloan has a separate article about the plans for the new ship, and in the comments he says the Regent executives really do want to hear from their customers who are not currently on the Mariner cruise. I asked: how's the best way to tell them what we think? He says the Regent folks have said they're reading his blog entries regularly, so post there. So I did, and I'd encourage other LCT readers to hop over to this forum, take 60 seconds to register to post on the USA Today site, and post your thoughts. If it's true that plans are not carved in stone, and the executives are open to listening to our thoughts and concerns, now's the time to speak up. I posted a long message about my concerns about higher prices, but others should contribute their thoughts.

Here's the link for the "Regent Seven Seas Cruises plans its biggest ship ever" page; comments are at the bottom.
