Panama Canal Dec '23. Aboard Vista.

We opted for the half day Barcelona Tour including the amazing Parc Guell, for which we paid in advance, upon registration. Tour was slightly delayed due to one other patron who could not seem to connect with us. No problem, as our tour leader, Elena extended our return to compensate.

We were entertained on the route between stops by brushing up on our Spanish, sometimes with great hilarity about pronunciation.

Elena was a very congenial and knowledgeable guide while, Rauel, our driver was competent and careful.

All in all our experience with this company was very positive and enjoyable.

We would not hesitate to recommend or go with them again ourselves.

:cool:I have sailed with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Azamara and I love Azamara the best for its size, its crews and the fact that I don't feel I am being two-bitted to death. Worth every penny!;)

I don't think it incongruous at all. Just sound business practice. It's one thing Azamara incurring considerable cost for the benefit of passengers who attend. Why should they waste money by also providing resources for people who don't attend without recovering same?

:)Amen to that.

Hello Wacktle -

 

Thank you for your question seeking an explanation why a credit card number is required when you book your AzAmazing Evening Event. It's to ensure that we have your credit card information on file in case you cancel after the deadline for doing so without penalty.

 

Although AzAmazing Evenings events are complimentary and included on all except transatlantic crossings and voyages that are less than 7 nights long. A few select itineraries may not feature ports conducive to such events, in which case the AzAmazing Evenings event will be held onboard.

 

Nevertheless, reservationsare required for your AzAmazing Evenings event. After booking your voyage, please visit AzamaraClubCruises.com/AzAmazingEvenings to select the event for your voyage, then follow the instructions to reserve your place. If you do not pre-book the AzAmazing Evenings event online but decide to participate once onboard, you may sign up until the morning of the event, space permitting. To be sure there is room for you, we encourage you to reserve before boarding.

 

CANCELLATIONS: Because Azamara Club Cruises incurs costs for each participating guest, we ask that you let us know by no later than 10:00 PM the previous day if you decide not to attend. Confirmed guests who do not cancel by this deadline and do not show up will be assessed a cancellation fee of $100 per person. Remember that Onboard Credits (OBCs) cannot be used to pay for cancellation fees.

 

I hope this information is helpful.

 

Best regards,

 

Bill Leiber

:confused: I would be happy if I could just find the right keys to push to get reservations for the AzAmazing evening in Cabo on Feb 20/14. no matter how many times I try, the website refuses to register us.

Also would like to know what, if any, the AzAmazing event will be on the Mar 4 cruise out of Caldera.I find the Azmara site quite confusing. Perhaps I will just have to phone and hope I get to talk with someone who knows anything.:rolleyes:
