Long story short...I left the charger for my Surface Pro at home and battery went dead on me the morning of day.  For that reason and because our land package was much busier than any of thought it would be, plus the poor internet service onboard the ship; I wasn't able to make daily postings.

 

We are home now and after being gone for 28 days getting things squared away.  In the next few days, I will post a review of our trip.

It was great to meet you Travelling Fools!  I wrote a little CC review too. Not published yet. I hope you had as good a cruise as I did!  

My husband plans to upgrade to the Ultimate drinks package and is looking forward to the Atlas bar experience. I am content with the included (usually just white wine) drinks and understand I can’t order them in Atlas. Will I be allowed to carry my drink in from another bar so I can join my husband?

68 days from departure and still can't enter our travel document information.

Even though we booked through a travel agent, I was able to enter our passport information by …

Manage my reservation

Click the pencil on Guests

Click documents. I only entered the Passport info for guest #1 and #2

Continue and Store

Same here, I’ve been trying all day. I even changed my password!  I am hoping to research excursions, if our power stays on, what else you gunna do in a hurricane?  😉

There's a lot to be learned, as we found, in Bologna.  That leaves only a short native railroad trip to the cute station in Ravanna, home of some of the most fantastic tiles.  Azamara meets you there with a bus to pierside.  We enjoyed it.

We are taking the train from Bologna to Ravenna and staying overnight there. How do we arrange the Azamara bus the following day?  We are to be there around 2:30. 

What is the difference between White Night and Bright Night?  Do people wear white if it’s a Bright Night?  Thanks.

I agree that it probably depends on port. We sailed in June from Ravenna and were given an open time from 1pm-4pm. 

We sail from Ravenna on Oct 7 and were given a specific time to check in, 2:30. Perhaps we’ll show up early?

How about Ravenna (port) to Ravenna (town)? Any recent news?

Is there a shuttle TO Ravenna port FROM town for embarkation, or will I need a taxi?

Happy 75 th birthday to you. I can see why the White night celebration decision waits till the last minute.. and waiting to get reservations for the specialty restaurants also is really not an issue. They are really not overbooked. Its$$$ unless you are in a suite. Just go as soon as you are on the ship. They will at that time tell you when the white night celebration is. 

Hell I’m NOT 75!    But thanks. 😆. I’ll book when on board. I hope. They won’t tell me our stateroom either. It’s a “guarantee” balcony, so I have to wait for that too. Patience, you say, okay I’ll try.

When you book the specialty restaurants you will see a plan which shows which night the white night is on.

I’m getting really frustrated with Azamara. We have booked and paid for the three night specialty dining package through our travel agent. We have an anniversary and a birthday while on board. I see nowhere we can select dates, so far, nor do I see any mention anywhere of when the White Night might be.

Thanks for the clarification, I should have mentioned that myself.  I was responding to the OP's query if they needed to book in advance.  Point taken!

Thanks for all the help, I just booked train tickets online.

Our hotel is walking distance to the train station, and the hotel said I would have no trouble getting a taxi to the port, it’s about a ten minute ride. 

Correction, make that a 20 minute ride.

Is this based on experience?

Ravenna is a fairly large city (pop. 160,000) and a popular tourist destination.

I would be surprised if getting a taxi at the station would be a problem. In fact if you look at the satellite view of the station in Google Maps and look very carefully you will see at least three taxis!

We need to get from Bologna to Ravenna to start our October 7 cruise aboard the Quest. I’m looking at booking the train with Trenitalia for the day before, October 6th. Do I need to pre-purchase train tickets online or is it okay to wait and just buy them at the train station on the day of travel? Thanks. 

We’re doing Croatia in October aboard the Quest. I wish to stay within the included beverages on board, and not mistakenly order from the premium beverages, how do I make that happen? Will the bartenders know or do I need to tell them every time?  I might forget! hic. And I don’t want any surprises on my Visa at the end of the trip!  Thanks.
