Olivia, I was aware that I was mixing earned perks with overall perks, it was just to state that there were several perks that I would not participate in. Yes, I agree that the 2011 prices are over the top.
Frank 2525....I am also well aware of the options availabe. I am not as well travelled as many people on LCT, but at over 20 cruises and over 8 cruise lines, I know the alternatives.
However, I do love the feel and the ships of regent. I just wish their pricing was more reasonable. For 2010 the changed my favorite category "Horizon Suites" on the Voyager to Butler suites and now the single supplement jumped from 40% to 75%!!!!! That is a huge difference.
As to free excursions, again, overall, I probably would not take them and find my own.
