Today while reading the thread dear Kathy pointed me to on CC, I saw a seat map for the flights we're on for our cruise in June--on Tahiti Nui--and they are THE WORST seats ever--middle row, way in back. Until now, I'd thought the F meant one was a window. Nope. I asked my TA to get us better seats and she said they couldn't--the airplane is full. Then her boss pretty much told me that's what I get for waiting to pay on the day the final payment is due. Huh? I thought most people wait until then. It's too late tonight to call Tahiti Nui, but I'll do it in the morning. These tix were purchased from Regent as part of my cruise fare. Is this the way it's done? You can't get assigned seats until final payment? Even so, now that more than a week has gone by, I'm sure any good seats that WERE left are gone. And this is on a Monday for a Wed cruise. We're doing a pre-stay.

And, yes, Joanne, I KNOW Ngaire is the BEST. :) (that just doesn't help me now! ;) )
