I already was not happy with included excursions and now the pre cruise Hotels too. I don't want to pay for tours I don't want to take. But since I am paying for them, I especially don't want to pay for and feel forced to take the lowest priority tour either. I don't want the included hotels. I like to choose my own hotel. Sometimes I have miles to burn or I want to earn miles at my preferred hotel or get my upgrade perks.
This isn't luxury but the prices are.

The thing is this....by bundling all of the stuff, you don't know what you are really paying for anything and the more purchase power Regent has the lower price THEY pay and the net profit for them is higher. Win win for investors but not so much for cruisers.
