There used to be a place under "My Cruises" on the RSSC web site to make advance requests, such as pre-selecting your two bottles of alcohol, etc. However, when I go there now, all I see is the guest information form and a chance to pre-book excursions. Am I missing something, or can you no longer enter advacne requests?

See if the bottom of the GIF still has a place at the bottom to note request.

There is no place at the bottom of the the GIF form. The information under the heading "Create a New Account" says you can set your butler suite preferences. We are not in a butler suite. I wonder if preferences are only allowed at that level now.

Too bad they've changed that feature. I forget whether there is some form that comes with the docs (other then excursion requests) for noting special requests. I have always requested bar set-up on line like you, but it was only in the cabin when I arrived about half the time.

Clou:
I have requested advance dining and shore excursions. We are on the 7/12 PG. There was no where on "my cruise" to pre-request for in room bar. There was nothing in my documents either. So maybe they wait until you board if you aren't in a "butler" suite.

I noticed that and I called customer service direct because the only soft drink I drink, is never stocked. I had my travel agent check, and they said it would be on board. I hope so.
I would assume if you do not have a wierd request like mine, you can have it set up when you arrive.

I do not have any weird requests, but like JHP, I have ordered my bar set up in advance on past cruises. Also like JHP, I have found it in my cabin only about half the time. Ordering in advance often resulted in my being able to get Baileys as well as a second bottle of something. When ordering in the room, I have sometimes been told that Bailyer's is a premium bottle, and I am only entitled to one bottle.

I tried to get a special request for Grey Goose vodka ( as I have read about in old LCT threads) but no dice. The good news is that they get you your alcohol very fast, but it is only the things on the "list". We did hear that a girl requested Pepsi before she arrived on the boat and it did get granted.

That bar set up form.....put it outside your door under the "lyre", it seems to get faster attention that way. I just take everything out of the fridge I don't like and stow it on the side of the fridge, and tell them to keep it stocked full with Diet Soda and Club Soda.

We have usually asked for Sambuca and Grand Marnier (2 room bottles) - always get Sam but 50% of the time they tell us GM is premium - other 50% we get it? I am addicted to Tab (giving my age away)and never got it until SA cruise this past January - I used online ordering till past few cruises now just ask once I am on the ship -

Join the group (of one). I too am addicted to Tab and it has always been there. I am keeping my fingers crossed for 7/8. I always make the request waaaayyyyy in advance and then reconfirm with RSSC over the phone.

Is it necessary to make reservations at the 2 restaurants on the PG that require them prior to the cruise? Will we be able to get reservations a day or 2 before when we're on the ship once we see the menus? We were hoping to make the cruise low-key but we would like the opportunity to try one of the other restaurants at least one evening.

Weird, we've been able to get Grey Goose (one bottle only) before as our in-cabin bar setup. You can't do that any more?

Masaki

Masaki I don't know about Grey Goose (my DH brand but he is drinking very little and just drank wine this time) but I was able to get Crown Royal that is not on the list. Just asked for it. Sandra

We were told by Ngaire to give her the info as I couldn't find it online. We too have always done that before. As usual Ngaire did her thing, and our selections were waiting for us. I think we did absolute and Frangelico. Just think when they are AI this will be a thing of the past!!!

Hi, We requested a Grey Goose (for moi) and a Chivas (for Ray) through our agent and both were waiting in our cabin on the Voyager last March for the Singapore to Dubai cruise. We were surprised at the size of the bottles must have been 1.5 Litres. We were pleasantly suprised to find out that the "drinks" were on the house for this segment. No one told us beforehand. We didn't drink any more but then we didn't drink any less,just the normal manhatten or martini pre-dinner.

My wife read the two posts regarding Tab and now tells me that we can only sail on Regent. Talk about being addicted.

Well I can always use it to remove stains on my clothes

Cindy, let's hope it will not be a "thing of the past" when Regent goes AI; when I was on a leg of WC (AI) I requested cabin set-up and they complied. Hope this doesn't change, if one requests set-up. MAYBE CLOU is on one of the 2007 cruises, and they are changing policy? Hard to believe they would take this away with the increases in pricing.

Editing to say, Bill p, I have a friend who loves TAB. Hey, they will do anything on Regent to make your stay better.

No No No that is Coke - yuk!!!! Tab is a good addiction -

I think we should start a new topic
ALL TAB FANS UNITE!

Lynn

I was in grocery store parking lot the other day and a man checking out my groceries (?) as I unloaded into my car said "OH!!!! TAB!!?? We bonded :D :D :D

I am not on a 2007 cruise. I am on the August Dover to Monte Carlo cruise, so the cruise is not all inclusive (too bad). So, the RSSC website has just eliminated the advance request option, and it may not be a sign that the in room set up will be eiliminated when the line goes all inclusive.

We just got off Voyager and I ordered a bottle of Grey Goose L'orange. I think we could have had a 2nd bottle, but did not order one. No problem. When I had a cocktail party in the room, I gave an hours notice and we had canapes, shrimp cocktail with all the fixings, plates, martini glasses, limes, lemons etc. - I brought my own Cointreau, Shaker, Cranberry Juice and Lemon syrup for Lemon Drop Martinis and Cosmos.

A sub section question. They have always had TAB for me, but I have never asked if they will serve it for me in the dining room. Have any of you Tab lovers asked?

Tell the Maitre D and your wish will be granted and you can have Tab in Compass Rose. I had an issue with Diet Ginger Ale. I could not get it in my room but I could have it in the dining room. The supply comes from two separate provisioning areas.

I agee Olivia, i love the in room set up. On Silverseas even though they are all inclusive they will bring you whatever you like for your room. We asked for a bottle of champagne for mimosas one morning, and there it was within 10 minutes. We had two in room bottles, but actually found they were not used as we sat at the pool bar. I mean when the margaritas are free.......... I'm sure they would probably RATHER you drink in your room, it would free up the bartenders that we tend to monopolize!!!

Olivia, just got the new Regent Voyage Atlas..it makes it clear that select wines and beverages are complimentary on the ship, in the room sodas and waters are stocked in the fridge..only in Butler Suites (B and above) is there a bar set up.

Will be curious to find out from early 2007 sailors if they (like SS sailors can) order the house pour Champagne (Vueve Cliquot, Pommery, Mumms) anytime they want or if the Regent Sailor will have to go to a bar to get a glass (if they offer it) after they finish the Welcome bottle of Champagne in your Regent Suite.

r/wes

Actually we got that mailing too, and I thought it said that even premium spirits and wines would now be included. Also noted that in suite bar set up was for Butler suites, although all suites will get a welcome bottle of champagne.

Good point Wes, it will be interesting to see if they will be able to get more champagne, will also be interesting to see if they will trade out the welcome champagne, I usually trade it for a bottle of white wine.
