Some clarity
1) Priority online reservations on FREE, unlimited shore excursions will allow concierge-level guests to book both FREE and Regent Choice tours at 240 days prior to sailing whereas other guests will book at the standard 180 days prior to sailing.
2) Priority online reservations in the specialty restaurants Prime 7 and Signatures will open for concierge-level guests at 90 days prior to sailing whereas other guests will book at the current 75 days prior to sailing.
So F - H can book as they are now it is just that the higher cabins get a head start.
I am glad there was no priority boarding that was good news as so many really thought that was going to be included.
When I have booked excursions I never get around to it early and so far I have had little trouble getting almost all excursions I wanted. When sold out then waitlist and when the demand increases I believe they add more tours. Waitlists clear every day. I seem to spend a big part of everyday forwarding waitlist clearance notifications. Space usually opens up on board as well. There is no doubt some of the excursions that have very limited capacity will sell out and those you must book the second things open as they always sell out quickly now.
