Meanwhile in Norwegian waters..

Thanks for the information ! Last time I sailed on SD2, this summer SD1. An additional 110v plug/adapter for the phone charger will do the trick if there are no USBs.

Last time I sailed on SD I noticed that there was just two or three 230V power outlets in a standard YC-stateroom. Is there USB outlets as well?

We had to fill in this form when boarding in Norway in August.

My contact says the rest of Norway is canceled.

I think your contact is wrong.
My TA informed me yesterday that SD resumes sailing according to plan this weekend. SD2 is now heading to Bergen to do a 7 days trip from Bergen to Oslo, and SD1 should today be sailing from Oslo to Tromso.

It looks like all sailings [*] in Norwegian waters has been stopped by the authorities for at least 14 days due to the covid19 situation on the Hurtigruten.

😟

[*]Cruise ships with more than 100 people on board.

I don't judge things solely by their price.  My $50 Timex keeps better time than my $5000 Rolex, and the clasp stays shut, besides.

Vivino don’t judge by price. The rating reflects the quality of the wines.

I’m not sure how to read this:

I have updated the spreadsheet with all the summer entires and grateful thanks to all who have given their comments

Azamara cabin spreadsheet Oct 19.pdf 275.68 kB · 26 downloads

Could you please post a link to the excel spreadsheet as well? It’s so much easier to sort/select data from a spreadsheet than from a PDF-file.

AZ increased prices in the Black Sea by about 30% early this summer. It will not surprise me if the prices are reduced accordingly and they call it a sale.

For one or another reason the prices have also been inflated with 25-30% after the itinerary changes. 😒

Pursuit in port in Venice ready for Croatia.

(We sailed out the same day)

Do they have postcards on board Odyssey?

:)

So far it seems that you have to bid $70 (per night) or more to successfully upgrade from verandah to CC Suite.

NV Montaudon Brut is one of the cheapest champagnes you can buy. Same champagne been served on Celebrity. Not a step up from Nicholas Feuillatte IMO.

Hi Bonnie

Please can you clarify for Australian guests?

And what about Norwegian guests?

 My definition of hell (luxury hell, but still) would be to be assigned a mid-ships cabin on decks 5-7. 

Yeah, one of the Winter garden suites would have been a disaster. 🙂

We arrive in Santorini at 8am. So is it safe to book a tour that leaves 9am leaving from the Fira port? 

The tender boats normally take 5 mins from the ship to Fira port, so if you are leaving from Fira port at 9 am that should be fine especially if you have access to the priority line.

Usually, you should be cautious about pasting private email to a forum, it may include links that expose private information..

One of the reasons I’ll give Azamara a try is the Black Sea Voyage in 2020.

Le Club Voyage member priority - LCV members will be given a boost to your bid to increase your chances of upgrading. Your bid increases in weight as you go from Adventurer to Explorer to Discoverer to Discoverer Plus to Discoverer Platinum. Assuming all else is equal among bids, the LCV member with the highest tier will receive the upgrade.

A rather complicated way to say that cash is king :)

• Molde, Norway
  
• Are these ports better then Reflection itinerary? thank you
  

Alesund with its Jugend style architecture is a lot more charming than Molde IMO.

Ports are in the heart of both towns, just about 50-100m to walk to the city centers.
