I am already booked for October 20. Just a bit nervous as this drought persists and the cruise lines likely to get hit with additional fees.

That isn’t completely clear from what I’ve been reading

@Huntermedal, what itinerary are you considering?

With the ongoing drought in Panama, and ships backed up at the canal, I am wondering what will happen to cruise ships come October if drought conditions continue. I can’t imagine they would be a high priority.

I used ACH too, which I just signed up for a few hours before reservations opened. I’m glad everything worked out for you!!

I am in a DV also, and logged in to the minute when the reservations opened. I so appreciate the tips that I learned here! There were some hiccups, as @Gail Boertzel mentioned, but I was able to book my most preferred paid excursion right away before the trouble started. So I just booked my included ones and then went back and tried again and was able to book the one other paid one. All in all, not too bad.

Oy

I’ll do that! was thinking more about the overall size of the ship, in terms of getting from here to there.

We are trying our first Viking Ocean cruise this fall. Not sure we will like the larger ship and already don’t like the way they organize the included excursions registration - with the top cabins getting first dibs. We shall see how it goes! Do have a 2025 Azamara cruise booked.

Yes, you may see more cabins become available before final payment.

The transfer has to be made within 30 days of booking.

This is one of the reasons I am hesitant to book a port intensive itinerary. I really like the sea days, when there are the opportunities for lectures, special brunches, and other onboard events.

If my cabin lacked a fridge, I would probably point to the amenities list and voice a complaint (and I am not a complainer)!

Stateroom Features Veranda Two lower beds convertible to one Queen size bed Sitting area with 40” flat-screen TV Refrigerator with mini-bar Thermostat-controlled air conditioner Direct-dial telephone with voicemail Writing desk In-room safe Hand-held hairdryer USB ports under bedside reading lamps Stateroom: 175 sq. ft. (16.3 sq. m.) | Veranda: 40 sq. ft. (3.7 sq. m.) This is from the Azamara website and clearly states that the rooms are supposed to include a refrigerator with mini-bar

Kahlua is not part of the included package. I don’t know is that particular whisky is even available.

I would love to go to Aberdeen! Family roots there too.

I am hoping to make my newly acquired 4 free nights work in 2024. Unless they change the deal to something better

Same here

Oy! I can’t keep track. Makes my head spin!

If the promise is in writing, can you move it up the chain of command at her agency?

As is Denmark.

Possibly, what the OP was getting at was why were we supposed to believe that there were “free” nights in this supposed sale? Or where were they, since the price hadn’t changed or had actually gone up? That’s why I don’t really pay attention to the wording of the so-called “sales”, just look at the bottom line.

I agree, and I’m so sorry that you have been going through this, Ann.

Short answer - no
