Sorry no real answers Ted. This could be handled differently on different voyages based on the demand they forsee. They could be all booked or some may be still held for full voyage bookings and released at a later date.

The representatives that answer the phone at Regent wont know either. Only the guys at the top know and there is no value in really sharing all this with me or anyone else.

Individuals or TA's call Regent and the representative is trying to help. They may honestly believe what they are saying is correct, they are asked so many questions in a day. Then I see it posted on CC or LCT that Regent or their TA said XXXX is the case. Experience tells me that I know that this is obviously not accurate.

Misinformation is a constant problem with things out of the box. Not just with the cruise lines but with everything in life. Black and White is easy but anything else is a problem. I think people have an issue with saying "I do not know" so there is a tremendous amount of "guessing" that goes on.

Let me add that you are correct in the fact that you have someone really looking out for you and if there is any way it will happen.

McKeever in your case all the E cabins will be gone and booked. You would definitely be able to get one if it were available as you are doing the full cruise. Of course Category E is the PRIME choice on the Navigator and by far the most sought after cabin.
