Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I’m considering booking a cruise on PG but from the videos I’ve seen I haven’t seen any outdoor shade in which to lounge and read a book. I would love to see the Tahitian islands but sailng solo I can really only afford a porthole or window cabin so no balcony on which to enjoy my vacation leisure reading. I do not like to just sit in the sun to read. Will I be able to find shade on board? Thanks in advance!
  2. I always cruise solo and the few times I've sailed Royal I paid a 200% solo supplement - in other words I paid for two people. Unless I'm getting a reduced fare by sailing in one of their very few solo cabins which are only available on a few ships, it only seems fair that if they want to charge me for two and treat me as two people (even though I only eat - and very little at that - for one) I should be able to bring on two bottles. What am I missing here?
  3. Welcome to the new Azamara!
  4. I'm afraid if I ever splurged on a suite, which I won't, that I might put somebody out of work because I would tell the cruise line that I don't want a butler provided in my fare. I don't even like the connotation of the word 'butler.' But for those who enjoy and appreciate having one, I hope you can get these issues resolved.
  5. Thanks for your input. Was there any overly loud, annoying music played anywhere?
  6. Sometimes I think your responses sound just a bit harsh (which I've been accused of before and it's not true :), but I LOVE what an egalitarian you are! We might get along splendidly.
  7. Apparently I didn't make myself clear. I asked if the crew traveling on the transatlantic from Lisbon to Miami in November who will spend four or five months on sailings between Miami and the Caribbean might prefer to be tipped in US dollars during the trip from Lisbon to Miami so they would have US dollars to spend when they go ashore in Miami or the Caribbean (which accepts US dollars) to do their shopping, etc. I know on the past cruises I've been on I always see crew members going into the local places near port to do shopping.
  8. I meant for going ashore to shop, etc.
  9. I tip for room service. On a transatlantic from Europe to the US for the winter season do you think the crew might prefer tips in US dollars for use in Miami and most of the Caribbean?
  10. I wish I had just ignored this thread. I'm scheduled for my third Azamara cruise in November (Pursuit twice prior to Covid) and all I can say is 'yikes!' and I'm scared. I can overlook some little things related to issues like supply chain delays, etc., but broken toilet seats and missing fan and light covers are really unacceptable. I think maybe the launch of Onward should have been delayed a bit longer until some of these issues could be resolved.
  11. Haven’t had my morning espressos yet so all I can say is……yuck.
  12. After 2.5 years of no vacations I was looking forward to my second Azamara sailing but just canceled it. I’m immunocompromised and fully vaccinated and even though it’s no guarantee of not coming down with Covid flying into the port, I’m hesitant to be on a small ship for 10 days without pre-boarding testing, which was a requirement when I booked. I worry most about long-Covid symptoms on top of my AI condition. I’ll just hope for another chance next year and will do something closer to home. Maybe a rental on the beach on the East coast. I sincerely hope all of you your cruise and stay negative throughout your journied.
  13. I’d prefer to take the covid test and have the Patio open for dinner during my cruise.
  14. Did you happen to hear or ask why it wasn’t being opened in the evening? I assume they would say it’s due to a staffing shortage. I’ll be glad when that reason/excuse can stop being used.
