I'd love to read this to see what is going on, but I cannot seem to get on to the CC boards for some reason. I can't get past the home page. Is anybody else having this problem or do I need a new computer (again)?
Thanks, Richard

Although it's been slow, I have been able to get onto the board several times today. I've been having quite an interesting conversation over there. And I also posted a couple things to ResAgent. We'll see if he/she ever responds, or just fades away (or gets fired!)

CC is even slower than usual today, I assume because of the two cruise tragedies; people are looking for news. I can get in but it takes forever.

Too bad -- a VERY intersting thread (in which I was an active participant) has now been completely decimated. Oh well! Not the first time I've been poofed, nor will it be the last. ;)

I think Cruise Critic is being overloaded today because of the two disasters. When I posted there late this morning the bus crash thread on Celebrity was up to 14 pages. When I tried this afternoon I could only reach the home page and read the news reports.

I just got on (9 p.m. EST). I've been poking at the thread off and on all day, and yes, it has been slow, but it's still there.

I have a feeling we won't be seeing much more of him/her. Host Dan has indicated that he does not accept this person as Regent employee authorized to be posting information from them. I would be truly shocked if this poster shows back up again...and even if he does, I think there's been enough skepticism generated that any credibility is long gone.
I would hate to see this person putting Regent in a bad light with their poor and unprofessional representation. I'm sure Regent wouldn't appreciate it either...if they know about it!

This is probably a good time for us West-Coasters -- a lot of the East-Coasters have already gone to bed. We should be able to get on with no problems now.

Here is the post, which doesn't seem inappropriate to me: I'm a Regent Res agent and i just want to state how pleased and happy most of our repeat guest know our product.
As most of previous post in 2007 we will be including in all a complimentary liquor package, on all 2007 sailings. Similar to what we have been doing on the 2005 and 2006 World Cruises, guests will receive complimentary beverages including fine wines, beer and spirits throughout the ship. Certain premium and top quality brands will continue to be available on a charged basis.
In regards to the upgrades to the ship now that we have become Regent that will be done over the next 12 months, In the meantime, one of the most visible physical changes in the upcoming two months will be changing the logo on smokestacks (the actual names of the ships will remain the same).
Another great thing will be we're getting into the bed game, signing an agreement with Anichini, the sheet/duvet maker for Four Seasons Resorts, to be doing special linen, bedding, and towels for us."
These Egyptian cotton linens and eight different beds were tested in cabins, with passengers rating which ones they found the most comfortable. The ones with the highest ratings are being placed on the ships. "We can't do this all at once, but it all will be done in drydocks over the next 12 months,"
Onboard changes will be more extensive on the earlier ships than on the most recent. "Voyager (delivered in 2003) will probably be the last to get everything because it's so new...
We're doing a lot of changes on the Navigator [delivered in '99], particularly in some of the suite layouts: things like removing big cabinets built to hold the TVs, replacing them with flat screens, which allows for more rooms in the suites. We're also looking at a major redo of the Navigator spa, though plans have not been finalized
I hope that gives you all a good idea of what some of the changes will be on our ships any more questions feel free to ask and ill do my best to get you an answer!
[size=8]Too Many To List - 416� days & counting on Radisson/Regent, and 150+� days on 8 other lines, with one cruise booked next month on the Mariner, Miami to Honolulu 22 days

Count Florida, what seemed inappropriate to me was the fact that some random employee was posting information AS a Regent employee on Cruise Critic. I'm sure that Regent is well aware of the power of the internet, and of these websites, and would not approve of someone representing themselves as being from Regent, posting information to their paying customers, without authorization or approval. And this person did say that he was NOT doing this in any official capacity -- his manager had told him about CC to look at something, and he'd taken it upon himself to "help".
Then, what was worse, he got very snarky with a couple of folks who asked who he was, and he wouldn't reveal his name. Sorry, but there is just no way that Regent would want to present themselves in this way to their customers.
If Regent wants to assign someone from the organization to answer questions on the boards, GREAT! But I sure don't want to see some anonymous employee posting supposed answers with no accountability or confirmation that any of it is accurate. Meanwhile, after being called on the carpet, he disappeared...so I think that pretty much settles in right there!

I think he's just a person looking for attention. Wouldn't be surprised he's a regular poster that came up with a new name to pose as a RSSC employee and raise some controversy. This is just a hunch on my part. There are ways now that the CC hosts could see if this person's internet account matches another poster's account.
We had one like that here around a year ago.
