We are travelling with Az in April on a 15 night cruise too. We did the maths and decided to book the package as we will make full use the wi fi, spa credits and have already booked over $700 of shore excursions. Nice to know there is a decent champagne as we have’t really looked at the alcohol offerings except for a decent malt.
Hello,
Don't drink all the Champagne and leave us some because I just realized that we are on the same cruise!! We are going to be easy to spot... going Nicolas Feuillates's champagne all the way....:-)

Hello,
we did the math. We looked at the excursion and we do plan to take all 700$ worth of shore excursions and I plan to take the spa credit. So we are going all in with the package (especially since we discovered that Nicolas Feuillates champagne was on the list 🙂 ). For wifi, we usually spend all our wifi credits onboard X (and it's half of it on AZ) and for the chef's table, we were going to take it. So all in all, it will be worth it for us. So we think....
We will let you know when we come back in April,

Hell,
We are cruising next April on Azamara and are looking at the benefit of the indulgence package. Since we are LCV Discoverer plus we are wondering if it is worth it or if it's better for us to take the 20% off a bev package, just enjoy what the LCV discounts gives us (laundry, limited wi fi, etc...) and pay for the extras (chef's table, etc.). Anyone did the math? Is it worth it?
Thank you in advance,
Just to add, we are on a 15 nights voyage.
I put my DH to the challenge of comparing both... results will be out soon (or so I think!)...
thanks for the replies so far,

Thanks for the reply.
I see the cruise I want, I just can’t see the price...Or any cabin selection,
thank you

Hello,
have been trying all weekend to look at the prices but all the 30% offers won't go further than the 1st page. Another IT glitch?
Anyone has the same problem?
-
Hello,
we did that crossing few years back. We are used to transat but TP. So I asked one of the officer if at some point it would get warmer... (like a kicking Gulf stream)... the answer? It's freaking Siberia Vana...
that's says it all... 😉
Ps I always take a picture of my feet with the pool in sight... well I did... running shoes on and plaid cover...

Hello,
I wouldn’t mind the price if X was brigging back the Celebrity shine from before...
give me back my formal nights, my sherbet parade around the pool, my steward all dress up depending on the night occasion, my midnight buffet (or brunch), all my favourite food like Osso bucco, my 6 schrimps cocktail, my desert tray every night to choose from, and all the other stuff that went away over the years.... and I'll be more than happy to pay the price.... but X wants to stay in the middle range now with the offering and cannot compete.
When you offer a so called "repo" cruise and do not give any beverages package like some other company do, your are not in the game.
When you charge 4000$ more for a couple doing the same cruise (ex South America) do not wonder why this couple switch (and also get, a beverage package on top of that).
So yes, Celebrity has to reconsider is offering because it not up to par with the other companies...
But still we are going on X next month but we will really be attentive to detail and see what we do next, eventhough we are elite plus....and that the next level is soooooo far out....
have a great day

Hello,
we had 6143 long time ago but even if we did enjoy our bugger balcony we were surprised to only have a arm chair instead of a 2 place sofa like other Concierge cabin and there was a "service corridor" from the hall way to the balcony next to our cabin so it was noisy and staff would come and go there to have a breath of fresh air. A lot of buttler coming and going also in the area because of the suites.
That was a first and a last for us. Rather be in a C1 at the aft.
Are you doing the April Suez Canal. If so, we are too...

Hello,
Other than the fact that it's a fairly quiet place, the pool in H2o is the size of an handkerchief. So it max out pretty fast. Plus the fact that the chairs are in a staircase doesn't make it easy for a group. Go for the main pool, bars, music live , more food options, slides, etc...over there.
Enjoy

Hi,
This morning I just wanted to "manage" my reservation and there is no way to go further then the front page where I see all my reservations. In 2017 this is outrageous!!! X should change the whole IT dpt!!! It's only frustrations over frustrations going on that website. I give up!!!!
-
Hello,
We prefer by the balcony so when we enter the cabin we are not cramped by the bed and we can circulate better. It's like having a little hall when you enter. If not you get attack by the bed right away...:rolleyes:
But I would choose a bigger balcony even if the bed was by the bathroom...

Celebrity would have granted the shareholders benefit by adding to the $ 100.00.
Here's what they emailed me back in response to my request
Dear Mr. B
Thank you for contacting our Shareholder Benefit office. As a valued shareholder and guest, you are very important to us. On behalf of our company, it is my pleasure to respond to your correspondence.
Our exclusive Shareholder Benefit Program was designed to reward you each time you sail with us, if a better promotional opportunity does not exist. It is not combinable with other promotions and special offers. We see you have an Onboard Credit offer on your current booking xxxxxxxx that is lower than your Shareholder Benefit of $250.00. We applied the difference of the two Onboard credits in the amount of $150.00. We hope that you enjoy the spectacular array of onboard services and amenities.
While your onboard credit has been added, it may not immediately appear on your SeaPass folio on the first day of your cruise. Please allow up to two days into your sailing for the credit to reflect on your account.
Thank you again for choosing to sail with us. We hope you have a wonderful cruise.
Sincerely,
Denise
Shareholder Benefit Team.
Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd.
Thank you for the info.but still, they are not combinable like NCL.

Hello,
Had to cancel a cruise but didn't want to loose the perks so I rolled it for the Suez canal cruise. It is consider a repo cruise at a price of a regular cruise (!). Had 2 perks + 250$ obc (concierge cabin) and the only thing I've got is 100$ obc.
Decided to book a transat with NCL. All the perks are available...and they do combine the shareholder obc with the perks...thank you NCL.
Have a great day
-
Thank you so much.
I was able to reach them and they are aware of the problem. Trying to get IT to fix it:eek:
-
Hi,
Anyone else has trouble reaching NCL today from Canada at their 1-866 number? Called the operator and was told that the problem was with NCL phone line.
Have a great day
-
And what about body lotion, coton ball and Q-tips?
We are new to NCL and are trying to cut the luggage weight.
Thank you
-
Thank you soooo much for the infos.
There isn't much about the Sun "around the horn", so all the infos you can provide us is welcome.
Great pictures. Can't wait for this photo experience!!! Hope we have nice weather in March, like you did.
-
Hi,
I also have the Mal de debarquement once ervery 2 cruises. The longuest is lasted for me was 6 weeks:eek: It went gradually away. But cruising is worth it. After our transat last fall I had it for 10 days but without nausea, which is much better!
Hang in tere!

Hi,
We love the Havana Club brown rhum, 7 years old. Price depends on where you buy it but expect to pay about 12 to 15 CUC.
You can also get an older reserva, but it is a matter of taste.
Have a great trip
-
I can live with this. I'm just happy to see it in the bathroom instead of on the vanity in the main cabin like so many ships. I get up earlier than my spouse and always wake her up drying my hair a few feet from the bed.
Hi,
Since we will be on the same SA cruise I'll let you use my handle hairdryer if you to want to wake up your wife early:D
Have a great day
-
The photo is still accurate for the balcony cabin on my voyage in December 2016.
Thank you.
Note to myself: bring hairdryer :rolleyes:
-
Hello,
Since refurbishing, do we have an update on the hairdryer "situation"? Really don't want to bring mine unless I really have to.
Thank you
Lack of information from Azamara

Hello,
Not sure about that because X is rerouting lots of cruises and if someone cancels, the usual penalty fees is in force. So we might have to take whatever they offer us even if we have to go through a lot of trouble (new flight, new departure port, new itinerary...)
We are on the same cruise as sunlover33 and like said, we have to buy visas, excursions, pre night hotel, post night hotel, seats on the plane (we are on premium seats and wish to have the same comfort), etc.
Since this is our 25th anniversary and the leg of the cruise we are doing is to finish our « around the world cruising tour », we will be very disappointed if Az cancels our cruise or change it in something we don't want. But if so, better doing it now than later so we can find something else and not make irrational decision.
At least, if AZ is going to reimburse our fees (visas, pre booked hotels, etc.) flights fees, we won't loose much but it doesn't seem the case for now.
So expecting the worst and hoping for the best
Have a great day
