This is an absolutely great review and such a treat for those of us who can't cruise at the moment.  I love the food pictures.  What is the green stuff around the glass that has the raspberries and something chocolate in it?  Looks amazing.  Thank you for sharing.

Your first picture of the ship with the greenery in the foreground should be made into a poster.  It is gorgeous.  Celebrity could sell cruises on Edge with just this photo!

Are there other shorter lines you could join (not for suites)?  i hope things get better and that you enjoy your cruise.

We had an April 26, 2022 cruise from Tokyo to Singapore cancelled a few weeks ago.  Terribly disappointing.

dkgretired, I found the humor quite apparent when you referenced Le Kirkland!  I got a giggle out of that.

Lovely photo.  The sun is still shining here.

$3779 is probably the average price after the 60% is taken off the second passenger.  i have seen "average price" written in small letters on the bottom of the price list.

Positions everyone?

I think it takes about 2 hours to get to Geiranger, so that would be 4 hours travel plus the time to pick up the rental car and then take it back.  Then we would want time to drive up  to the famous viewpoint on Mt Dalsnibba as well.  We only have a 9 hour stop in Alesund, so we don't have buckets of time.

We are disappointed that it is not sailing to Geiranger as we really want to see that little place.  I think we will rent a car and hope we make it back to the ship in time!

Welcome to Cruise Critic.  There is also a roll call section for every cruise and it is wonderful to be able to talk to people on your cruise and then to finally get to meet them on the ship.  I don't know the date you are planning but here is a roll call for the Costa Deliziosa Jan 2022 WC.

We booked the July 25 Norway intensive on Azamara.

We cancelled the Sept 4 cruise in May.  We thought it too early to be safe.  I tried to get them to extend the FCC to include Oct 2022.  Nope.  So we opted for the cash and we have already received it.  So sorry everyone.  It's a bummer isn't it?  Since then, we have had 2 more cruises cancelled.  Almost makes you afraid to book anything.

Very interesting thread seeing everyone's plans for Norway.  We just booked Azamara Quest July 25/22 today.  It sails from Dublin to Amsterdam, taking in one port in Scotland and 8 in Norway.  Should have booked last week when I was looking at it.  Price went up today.  He who hesitates................

Me too, often the email is for a cruise that I'm already booked on and they're telling me to complete my booking.  Sorry I was just checking to see if there was a price drop!  50 in June.

I'm waiting too for the new itineraries.

Thanks for the encouragement ECCruise.  I would love to see that itinerary offered again.  Time is running out for us with regard to Petra (lots of walking in the heat).  With our recent 40C temps here in BC we have had a taste of managing in that heat and we have not done very well. 

We are also very disappointed with the cancellation of our Tokyo to Athens B2B.  This was to be our first taste of Azamara and we were drooling!  Don't know what to do now as there is nothing to book in that area.

Only one suite here, an incredible upgrade from AQ  Singapore to Sydney.  For the next 2 segments of that cruise we moved back to AQ and found we liked Blu better than Luminae.  We mostly book AQ.

We were booked on the same 40 days on Journey as ECCruise.  This was to be our first taste of Azamara.  We haven't even heard a peep from them regarding the cancellation and I wouldn't know if it were not for Cruise Critic.  I am not interested in Europe, or the Caribbean having been there many times.  Very very disappointed.

In these uncertain times, I think it is more important than ever to fly in a day ahead of the cruise.  You can't go to the next port if you miss the embarkation because of COVID.  Please do yourself the favour of arriving the day before, even the night before, so you do not board the ship stressed out or worse, miss it altogether.

Happy Canada Day to all.

I have heard nothing from no one 🙁

I can still book tours on my cancelled cruises.  On the bright side though, they probably wouldn't be too crowded.  Lots of room on the bus.😀

I guess since we're new to Azamara, we don't merit an email.  Cruise Critic is just the very best for keeping us all informed.  Thank you posters.

We are on a B2B from Tokyo to Athens Apr 26 - June 5 2022, not going to Australia/NZ on this itinerary, but something is going on there too.  I fear more cancellations.  This is our fourth attempt to see Petra.

Yes, Vancouver is melting.  We are not used to 41C (105.8F).  Many here do not have A/C as it is not usually needed.  We are fortunate to have it in our home.  Lytton BC was the hottest ever. yesterday at 47.8C (118F).  Records are being broken all over and people are dying of heat exhaustion.  It is to cool down a few degrees tomorrow and the next day.  We flooded the soil around our hydrangea yesterday as it was terribly wilted.  It mostly recovered but the top leaves are burned around the edges.  i have never seen that before.

Schools and businesses have closed because it is too hot for people to function.  This coming on top of the COVID pandemic is just hard to take in.

Keep cool and safe everyone.
