Just a quick confirmation of Dave's report: I called Regent today and was able to add a second excursion on the day I wanted, as advertised. Yea! It was simple and quick; who needs that newfangled Internet thingy, anyway? ;)

Ever since we started talking about a possible Mariner cruise to Alaska nearly a year ago, the three top excursions we wanted to do were Tracy Arm, a whale watch, and a helicopter landing -- and now with the changes in Regent's policies, we're booked on all three and I can relax about this. No more wondering if our excursion tickets will be in our door when we board; no more envisioning a quick dash to the tour desk as soon as I board to see if I can add an extra excursion. I just did a little happy dance, and I'm comfortably settled into happy camp! :D

Eugene, I hope Regent makes a similar change to allow people who have shipboard credits to book excursions by phone against their credits, and then we'd have bunch more people join me here in happy camp. It's a good sign that they seem to be making some changes fairly quickly in response to customer requests and/or their programmers completing more complex capabilities of the new computer system; the limit-one-excursion-per-day policy lasted only 11 days before it was changed. I'll keep my fingers crossed for all of you!
