Someone I had contacted when exploring our options at one of our portstops has asked me: "Would there be any chance of getting in touch with the ship so that we could give them our Name and contact details to throw our service into the hat as an option for people?" I wanted to help but have NO idea how the excursions are arranged for cruiselines, so I don't know what to tell her. Can anyone kindly advise?

Thank you! We start in Southampton and visit these ports: Cork (Cobh), Foynes, Galway, Donegal (Kilybegs), Londonderry, Belfast, Warrenpoint, and Dublin. It's essentially a circumnavigation of Ireland!

Azamara's website currently shows the list of inclusive amenities for all guests to include: "Shuttle service to and from port communities, where available" (Italics added!) This is shown on the pages for our cruise, which is the 11-night-ireland-intensive, departing 27 July 2022 on Pursuit. However, when we booked a month ago our confirmation documents included this statement (yes, in RED letters!): *Please note, these amenities have been modified to comply with current health protocols due to COVID-19. Destination Celebration will now be offered onboard as an adaptation of Amazing Evenings. We have also suspended our shuttle service temporarily We are wondering if the shuttle service suspension has now ended, so that they would be back on, as least where available? And if so, how can we find out which ports will have them? (This affects how we plan for the ports where we might not do a ship excursion, and since this will be our first cruise with Azamara, we have no good idea what to expect.)

I want to travel with "just" a carry-on bag, but I must travel with a CPAP, so I'm seeking advice for "streamlining" my luggage process. For ease of moving from place to place, I'd like to be able to stash the CPAP inside my carryon suitcase (with the zipper expansion feature in play), and then remove it for the airplane part of my trip, since the expanded bag wouldn't conform with any airline's carryon size limits! Plus, airlines don't "charge" for carrying a CPAP in addition to the carryon. This approach means repacking the bag some whenever the CPAP comes out of or goes back into the suitcase, typically in an airport. What strategies would facilitate this kind of rearranging and reordering of the interior space while on-the-go?
