Grandma Cruising

Glad to hear you are safe, hope things improve quickly

That’s great. Can’t see previous information about your bid, but if you let me know the following I can add it to the spreadsheet Cruise start date, cruise length & area it goes to, minimum bid required, bid made & was it ‘weak’ etc. your loyalty level.Original cabin type & cabin bid for. thanks

Depends when it’s cancelled. If it’s cancelled before the end of the cruise the credit would go back to your account. If you hadn’t spent it by the end of the cruise it would be lost.

Thanks Phil, added to the spreadsheet.

Thanks, great review and lots of great information about the ship as well as the ports.

Thanks for your review and glad you had such a nice anniversary - beautiful cake!

Just seen the following post on the other social media platform under an Azamara heading. JUST RECEIVED THIS from TRAVEL AGENT Greetings Azamara Team, We wanted to inform you that effective today we are not required to enforce proof of negative antigen/PC test for our guests boarding at the port Piraeus. This is great news as this will help with our guests boarding experience. Journey for tomorrows turn we will do the check-in with out this additional step. We should have the guests only going through the vaccination verification, wellness check and check-in.

Thanks for this, there was already some information in the spreadsheet but I have added to it. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15Deg-GaeZYLml8NN3PVwoh_jUkQ8QmYUe1wxnVAlODE/edit

Do have a look at the topic ‘Tips for Azamara Newbies’ and it’s associated spreadsheet

I’d certainly recommend trying the speciality restaurants, you can save a bit by buying the ‘3table tour’ instead of paying individually. Can’t comment on the Chef’s Table. If there are excursions you really want to do I’d advise booking early as popular ones can get sold out. From time to time they email offers on particular excursions, if it’s one you’ve already booked, just cancel & rebook online. Capri pants & smart jeans are fine in the evening & shorts fine during the day. No casinos. I think the complimentary beers include draft Carlesberg and Becks . Have you had a look at the topic Tips for Azamara Newbies? The associated spreadsheet is useful.

Thanks for the information. Added it to the spreadsheet Did you make any bids?

This is ridiculous - so presumably if you haven’t had a test you would be denied boarding!

White Night is an on-deck party. It’s usually held on a night when the ship is in port late. There is a buffet on deck with really nice food, and music & dancing. Most people try to wear something white - a T-shirt or shirt for example, but you don’t have to. It’s a really fun night. You won’t know which night it is until you get on board.

Hope things don’t get worse for you and that you get your power back on soon.

Thanks.

Thanks for that. You only put two upgrade prices in your post - what was the third, was it to CC Suite?

And we’re end of October.

I presume those upgrade bid prices were per person and I think your loyalty level is Adventurer (first cruise) - just for the spreadsheet. Did you decide to bid?

Thanks for the information - added it to the spreadsheet. Can you let me know what your loyalty level is, please and also if you do decide to bid.

I got that email too, but didn’t do anything about it because I could only save about $4 in all!

Of course - forgot to count those!

I’ve just done a (roughish) count of Onward’s cabins & I make it 26 inside cabins in total and 79 Oceanview in total. On top of that there are 160 veranda, 10 veranda plus, 56 Club Continent Suites & 10 large suites. That makes 341 in total which is about right. Don’t forget that some people may have booked a ‘guarantee’ Oceanview, so if you do a ‘mock’ booking to look at vacant cabins, their cabins will still show up as empty.

Can’t remember, but I do remember that it was pretty clear to me what I was expecting to pay - £360

In the past the contact information was part of your documents.
