Hi all,

Currently booked on my first Azamara cruise and it ends in Rio de Janiero. Just noted that the next cruise for the same ship ( the Pursuit) goes to the destination that I have planned (it loops down and then returns to Rio). Does anyone know of a precedent that you can book half a cruise aka get off halfway? Will of course call but since Im booking from Europe they are not well accustomed to Azamara ways and automatically revert to RC rules (i.e Ive taken a partial cruise with MSC but not sure if Azamara allows it even if there is space)

Thank you your advice

Our current voyage on Quest has been one of the best. Officers and staff have been wonderful, food has been great, Captain Johannes has been very visible. Only complaint is the quality of the wines (both included and in the ultimate package). They’re out of the Sokol Blosser Pinot noir that’s supposed to be in the ultimate package and are substituting Cavit, which retails for about $15 a magnum at home.

Cavit?! Really? I would be unhappy with that as a complimentary wine. They really should be offering more local wines, I bet people would be much happier and also easier to supply. Honestly these indications are making me think one should just skip the ultimate package and use the money for corkage...

This is super helpful! Methinks I'll need to stop by a wine store before boarding haha as I clearly don't have the same tastes as the sommelier in regards to whites. Very shocked there is not a single Chablis, Cremant, Cava....

If you are referring to the current offer then it is Oceanview to Balcony. The prices shown already account for this so if the cruise is included in the offer you will see the price for Oceanview as the same price as an inside and the price for the Balcony is the price that would, without the offer, be the price for an outside

You will also find that there is no difference in the grades for balcony (usually V1, V2 and V3 are different costs) all are the same price.

Thank you Scots Caz!!! So the grade that I book will be the one I get instead of booking one grade below what I want? New to Azamara, going solo and space is not a concern but I do like being able to open the window for fresh air so would like a balcony - trying to figure out what category to book to achieve this 🙂

Hi all,

Quick question - does a single category upgrade mean from e.g. oceanview to balcony or does it just mean a slightly nicer oceanview?

Thank you!

Does anyone know if status with either Radisson or Etihad will be matched? Have gold in both

Hi all,

I don't drink beer at all and for spirits I have to be in the mood, but I will always want wine with meals. Looking at doing a Eastern Med cruise with MSC Lirica and considering what package to choose. From what I have seen from some older posts the wine list by the glass is pretty short so wondering what is the best option? I appreciate nice wines but am fully aware those are not really an option included in the packages, then the question becomes is the Easy package downright nasty or perfectly decent? Does the plus package make a difference? Seems like the only recommendation for the Premium package is it gets you Chablis?

Also key question, what is the best way to have wine in the cabin?

For context I will be doing several excursions so out and about daytime. I am most definitively getting a package as I drink a lot of water, c.3 diet cokes a day, some juice with breakfast and on holiday will have a predinner drink if I have time, a glass paired with starter, a couple with main, and then more depending on plans for the evening. Planning for this to be my first solo trip so likely wont be getting bottles

Any advice?
