I have just received a well organised 'book.' It would be insulting to call it a brochure. Included was a DVD. (I don't have a player!) Obviously, it is a very expensive promotion, but why waste all that money extolling the virtues of Regent to all of us who are afficianados ? We KNOW all about the ships and the hotels. All that we need to know are the itineraries, the dates and the costs. A 5% extra discount would be more appreciated than this 'tome.'

Neville, are you sure you don't have a dvd player on your computer? Most models made within the last several years have a dvd player underneath where you put your cds.
Karen Live long and prosper

I agree with Neville. All these expensive mailings are getting tiresome. I don't even think they are effective. They're just adding to the costs of cruises.

I've said this before, but I'll say it again. The "book" to which Nevil refers was very heavy on "fluff" and very light on "hard facts" such as when, where, and how much. Others have disagreed with my statement that such mailings are very costly. However, my wife Carol has recently filed to run for our state's House of Representatives, and we are finding out darn quickly how much even little "piddly" mailings cost! So I'll stick by my opinion that such mailings ARE very expensive -- a cost for RSSC that would be better spent on lower fares and/or better content.
Thanks, Richard

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends ~~M. Angelou~~

We have gotten the DVD twice now!
Neville, if you can't play the DVD at home, not to worry. You can view it from the RSSC website. Just click on View "The Regent Experience" from the website's home page.

DVD. I probably have it, Karen, but we are so well versed regarding Mariner and Voyager that I don't need to play it. Unless it has Shearing as background music !! Really, folks, this is corporate waste unless their huge profits require it.

Jim, I just read it. How about a dinner party the night before sailing ?
