Why?

We always take a suite, but only 'invest' in the indulgence package on cruises of >20 days.

The indulgence package makes more sense if you are not in a suite, and/or have a low loyalty status. It also represents much better value on the longer cruises. For me 15 days would be the minimum, but the package is much better value for a 21-day cruise.

Luck.

I was on Pursuit Rio-Rio in December 2022. Whilst on board the crew advised us that the cruise immediately after, commencing 30 Dec 2022 was for 'swingers'. Since the departure date and location are identical (one year later) it seems very likely that this is a repeat charter, albeit on a different shop.

April/May 2024 for me.

That doesn't seem to work for me. Tried in Firefox & Chrome in both android and Windows. Never mind... I don't have any more cruises booked in 2023.

I received it. I thought I would take a look at Shore Excursions, but (for me) the link in the letter does not go to any Shore Excursions. All I get is a list of sailings for 2023, but cannot progress beyond that. The sailing dates themselves do not seem to connect to any sailing! Am I alone in this, or are others able to see actual excursions? If not, it beggars belief. Being Machiavellian: maybe Ms Cabezas isn't popular with her staff and they are deliberately trying to sabotage things!

Tried the Forgotten Password link. The Seaware website still doesn't acknowledge any future cruises (or anything about me, for that matter), but searching by booking ref, surname, and date produces fully-populated cruise info (except OBC).

Yee-ha! That worked. Many thanks.

Thanks. That link worked, but the response I get is 'Unable to sign in'. Am I right in assuming that the username required is my Azamara account email address?

All I can see is blank (white) page.

🤞

Don't book direct. Use a good TA!

That's ironic, considering the post that prompted your comment! 😜

I opened the Azamara (.co.uk) web site for the first time since the 'transition' commenced all those weeks ago. I thought I had been extremely fortunate, because this is what I saw. I've obscured personal stuff etc. Everything was correct! But, hey, look at the lowest part of that page... Royal Caribbean 2023! All very bizarre, because the 'phone I am using is only a month or so old, and I regularly clear the cache (every two or three days). But, needless to say, when I try to log-in via the .com website, I cannot. I am told that I need to change my password. Ho-hum.

Smoke and mirrors. I don't think Ms. Cabezas has a true grasp on reality, or is being mis-informed.

No screenshot...

The prices of what?

Here are the basics of what you’ll need to know: Look first at the “SETTORE” (sector) column for the word “TRASPORTI” (transport), which will indicate it’s impacting some form of transportation. Scan the “DATA” (date) column to see if any of them correspond to dates during your trip. Then look across at the “DOVE” (where) column to see if any of those strikes are impacting the place you’ll be on that date. Note that if you see the word “NAZIONALE” in that column, it means the whole country is affected. Finally, if you find a strike happening in the city you’ll be visiting, look at the “SCIOPERO” column to see precisely what transportation is on strike – it could be all trains, a certain station, just buses, or some combination of transportation. Click on the link in that column to get more details, including the duration of the strike (it could be anywhere from a few hours to a few days; they’re often 24 hours). Here is a more simplistic resource, in English.

Here. Not easy to navigate, and in Italian. It covers every 'sector'.

Simple answer: Get the visa. Doing so avoids any possibility of problems.

We seem to be getting way off topic. What has the entertainment/entertainers and/or dining venues got to do with the 'New Website'?

Seriously? Current experience with 'bots' is invariably unsatisfactory. I don't share your optimism. I think many companies use 'bots' because they are less expensive than real people, irrespective of their effectiveness. IMHO there's a LONG' way to go.

Only if it's not a 'bot'. They are never effective for anything than the kind of issue that anyone with a positive IQ could manage with the benefit of a bit of research.
