Does anyone know if Nick and Simon Weir will still be on Equinox for the November 5 Transatlantic?

Thanks Arno for keeping up this thread for so long. We are cruising on Equinox in November and would love to keep up with who will be onboard.

It's a sad commentary on the state of our world when this information is used in a manner that creates difficulty for the staff.

Happy cruising,

There were a couple of changes on Solstice last week.

Staff Captain: Nicholas Christodulakas - a charming man, most recently from Constellation

Chief Engineer: Konstantinos Bakas

Deck - sunrise

Cabin # - connecting cabins 7266 and 7268

Class – 2A

Starboard or Port Side - starboard

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – 7266 bed near balcony

7268 bed near bath

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – very quiet. connecting cabins seem no noisier than non-connecting since the connection is in a little entry hall outside both doors.

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – no obstructions. on forward side of hump; nice view down to the sea

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - normal

Was wind a problem? no

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem?

Any specific problems with this cabin? no

Any other comments? great location near elevator lobby

My favorites are the t-shirts with the cruise itinerary and some special destinations like the Cook Islands and Cape Horn.

Just got a memo from our district sales manager that the cover charges will be eliminating starting with the next cruise!

Effective for all Azamara Cruises sailings going forward, beginning with the JR 12/22 and QS 12/23 sailings, the following will occur:

• Suite Guests will receive 3 evenings of complimentary specialty dining reservations
  
• All other stateroom categories will receive 2 evenings of complimentary specialty dining reservations
  
• Additional evenings will also be complimentary and be accommodated based on availability and handled by each specialty restaurant Maitre d'
  
• All surcharges for the premium cuts in Prime C and the Wine Pairing Menu Offering in Aqualina will remain in place
  
• On board communication will now be recommending a $5 per person gratuity (for each evening of dining) for service personnel in these venues
  
• As is currently done, reservations will be handled on board and reservation times are based on availability

When we booked our Austrailia cruise, Princess said that they would take care of the visa for $20, which was added to the cost of the cruise. It seemed like the easiest way, and not much more than ETA charges.
