Wes, thanks for getting the answer. So, it looks like either the Grand Pacific 2008 will be delayed or the Circle South America 2009 will be delayed. Maybe, they will delay the SA cruise enough to actually be in Rio for Carnivale. :D
I still don't understand why he blames our delayed arrival in Hong Kong on Shanghai conditions; we are leaving Shanghai the same time as in the printed brochure. Oh well, any explanation will do. ;)

Given the mess-up in the bathroom construction on the Mariner (bathtubs with sills 6" too high and ceilings correspondingly 6" too low vs. specifications) and now the pod problem that (a) wasn't flagged for the ships with the problem and (b) takes more than a year (????) to either repair or replace, I'd assume Regent isn't looking for more new ships from the manufacturer of the Mariner.
Anne, the Mariner was French-built; need I say more. Sure, Chantiers de l'Atlantique built the SS France, SS Normandie, and Queen Mary II. However, the Voyager, Navigator, and all four SilverSea ships were all built in Italy.
