I think he is still around. Our paths don’t seem to cross! I think he was possibly on Pursuit for awhile, but not last June when I was there. Thanks for your response.

@uktog Have you run into Sheldon the Sommelier? I have not seen him since 2017 on Journey to NZ. I had heard he was still Azamara…….have you run across him on Journey?

@lolawpb Those pictures are very helpful. Thanks so much!

Do you have any pictures of the PH extended balcony or does anyone have any links for pictures? Thanks.

It was fun to come back to the cabin and find the Happy Birthday banner and balloons!

I stayed in one of those cabins quite a few years ago on deck 6. It would be what is now labeled a P1. They cost more $$ now because they are popular and they were relabeled and come with some extra perks such as one night sprecialty restaurant dining, some liquor in the cabin, etc. The views from the aft are great. it is a solid balcony…not see through. There is vibration when underway (if going at say 17 or 18 knots),and in high seas. There is some engine noise when docking and leaving port. It was not bothersome to us, but it might be for some.

I don’t know! I would need the cruise line or my travel agent to be providing guidance. If I were going on a world cruise, I would need a checklist of items to be aware of!

Appreciate your thoughts on this @ECCruise. Re sun deck: I do think some different furniture would be nice. That area does feel as though it hasn’t been touch or updated in years. I do not want to see cabanas that you pay for, however!

They bring a small cake for dessert wherever you are dining and your cabin attendant may put up a few decorations in your cabin. No cost.

I don’t usually need a lot of hand holding for planning cruises, BUT I would need some help planning for such an extensive cruise as a world cruise and I admit the last thing I would probably think of is how many blank pages are in my passport book!

Glad they work for you. Azamara is promoting this in the same way you mention…..no sea days and more time in the Caribbean.

I don’t care for these Caribbean itineraries that begin or end in San Juan PR or Barbados. It’s great for Azamara and the bottom line…..saves fuel costs for the 2 days on either end back and forth to Miami, but for the guests, it is extra time and money on our end to get to those beginning ports and get hotels……unless you live in Florida, I guess. The only RT Miami cruises are on Onward.

Yes, wonder what that means for the future of Journey?

That could be, I suppose.

It only makes sense that Oceania would be off loading R class ships, doesn’t it? I don’t think they have any plans to get rid of Riviera and Marina!
