I guess you can say that everybodys situation is a little different, I too had a bit of time consumed, since I could not get a phone line out or when I went to the internet room to cancel my hotel reservation in anchorage I had to go back a few times to get an open computer. The positives I have to say is I got to spend a extra night on the ship and have a wondeful 27 course dinner with a bunch of great people for free, and even though I was going to spend a night in Anchorage, The Mariner is a better place to be, so I did not have to pay $175 for my hotel, transportations, and breakfast/lunch/dinner, in my eyes I have alreay made money on the endeavor: but again everyone situation is different, if Regent offers something for future cruises that would be great, if not, what can you do.
