I’d just like to add my thoughts on this. I don’t think any of us wants to profit from Regent’s misfortune. I was lucky enough to have a changeable airline ticket so I am not out any expenses.

But even though I enjoyed an extra day’s cruise, there was some inconvenience. Mona and I both were supposed to be back at work on Friday and as a result of the delay we each had to use an extra day’s vacation for which we had not budgeted.

So far Regent’s only real gesture to its inconvenienced passengers has been a free drink before dinner on the last night of the cruise. The free phone calls and Internet access were more for Regent’s benefit than ours. It enabled us to spend time changing our travel planes thereby making less work for Regent.

I don’t mean to sound ungrateful, but so far Regent has been quite silent on what it plans to offer its passengers. Mark Conroy's letter to Andie agrees to nothing. He only says they will try and will work to help passengers.

I think some sort of future cruise credit for everyone on the trip would be appropriate. Thanks. Tom.
