Eugene & Marc,

The information Eugene posted is correct. Here's the press release from the Regent website: Concierge Program Press Release

Marc, I think the upgrade perk is illusory. I can't imagine Regent will stop selling paid upgrades so there will probably be few if any C or better upgrades left at the time of sailing. In fact, paid upgrade prices may decrease since Regent will be motivated to sell as many upgrades as possible before having to give them away.

As for priority online booking of excursions, I believe this is the change that will have the greatest adverse effect on non-concierge passengers. Marc, the change will not only apply to D and E suites but to everyone at or above E on Mariner and Voyager and D on Navigator. I calculate that about 67% of the suites on Voyager, 63% of the suites on Mariner, and 53% of the suites on Navigator will get the Concierge Program. I think many of the smaller more specialized excursions will be unavailable for online booking after the Concierge passengers have first crack at them. That leaves wait listing and onboard booking which may or may not work for many excursions. Time will tell.
