Should be out that date and can be booked starting on January 25th.

Will get back on the 20th after we get a chance to look them all over and see what looks good for summer 2018 and winter 2019.

Love a new release!

Ngaire, we are waiting with bated breath to hear what you decide!

Well all the new cruises are online this morning. At first glance these are the cruises that caught my eye. However, I am open to any other suggestions from LCT as often I end up doing something that LCT'ers want instead.

I am booked up until September 2018 so these are late 2018 and 2019.

September 12 - 22, 2018- Vancouver to San Francisco
I always love Alaska and a cruise that does not have a long flight involved. Easy to flight to Vancouver and out of San Francisco and it still goes to Hubbard Glacier.

November 1 - 15, 2018 - Honolulu to Papeete
Nice for a pre cruise in Hawaii not been there for quite a few years. Plus it goes to the Marquesas, Nuku Hiva. This would be my 18th time to Tahiti but two days in Bora Bora is nice. The next leg is good too but I cannot do that too close to the cruise I plan on December 15, 2018.

December 15, 2018 - January 20, 2019 - Circumnavigation of Australia plus New Guinea, Komodo Island and Bail. A long cruise so expensive and not for everyone but it really looks fantastic. The air credits are large if you can get your air with miles. 3 day land package in Sydney.

March 28 - April 15, 2019 Shanghai to Tokyo
This is very intensive on Japan normally just one or two ports are included in Japan. There is a cruise Tokyo to Tokyo that is all Japan that I thought of first. However this cruise has just all the same ports in Japan with the exception of one port of call. This cruise has overnights in some ports in Japan and also does China so I think it is a better choice. PLus an included overnight in Beijing and a 3 night pre in Shanghai or 3 night post in Tokyo

Let me know by posting here or emailing me if you have any interest in these choices.
Plus anything else you would like me to look at as well.

If you want to book a cruise we are creating a list to get booked the second RSSC opens for booking on Wednesday 25th to get your choice of favorite cabin or category. Just email your KLT consultant. Clay will handle my list as I will be gone.

Ngaire, Joan and I definitely want to do the circumnavigation of Australia.

We are signing up for Australia, too.

Ngaire, if you stay on Silver Explorer (Wrangel) all the way to Vancouver you arrive on 6 September just in time to catch Mariner.

Yes good idea, no staff left and Clay would quit but it would save me a flight!

We're in for Honolulu to Papeete!

We are thinking about the HNL-PPT-AKL cruise.

Tom & I are interested in the Honolulu to Papeete.

Bob and I are interested in the March 28 Shanghai to Tokyo. That is a great itinerary to see Japan. The overnights are a plus for us.

Just emailed Clay to get us a cabin on the Vancouver to San Fran.

Welcome aboard to all of you! It was easy for me to pick trips this year I like all of these itineraries.

Yes, if you want to book now be sure to contact CLAY if you work with me OR your KLT consultant.

We have a spreadsheet that we get into our Regent Reps the day before and they start booking as soon as the cruises open on Wednesday. If you give us 4 options of cabin we can often get one of those for you. We usually book as "cruise only" to get the bookings done as quickly as possible. Securing the cabin is the key issue and we can add air or other details before we deposit.

Deadline for that list will be noon on Tuesday. We need to get it into Regent so they can do whatever they do their end to be ready for the opening.

Ngaire, if you find little interest in the Christmas cruise, think about the next cruise after that. For those who just can't get away for the Holidays away from family, it's a great itinerary with a way better per diem price.

I see that the March cruise from Shanghai has no air credit for those with their own flights? Sure that's a mistake. Maybe Clay can answer, as surely Ngaire has left.

Just not on the Regent website and we do not have all the savings spreadsheets yet. I have sent in an inquiry and Clay will let you know once Regent gets back to us.

I leave today around noon. Cindy (my daughter) is getting off the ship and I am getting on so we are meeting some relatives in Auckland and spending some time together. We were all together at June's wedding. Usually we see them every few years never before seeing them again in just a few weeks!

Bon Voyage! Have a great cruise and a fun time with your family.

$6000 per person air credit on the Mariner, March 28, 2018 Shanghai to Tokyo.

We sent Clay our request for Honolulu to Papeete...haven't been to the F.P. islands since 2005 WC...overdue to return.

We're booked on the Honolulu to Papeete Mariner cruise Nov. 1, 2018. This cruise also has a $3000. p.p. air credit.

We're booked on the same cruise....love this itinerary!

We are booked on the Vancouver to San Francisco. Love Alaska.
