  1. This is true for couples as well as singles. You can arrive at the main dining room and ask to be seated with another couple, a table for 6, or even a table for 8. However, in the specialties, you will not be able to ask for a table for 4 unless you provide the other two people. I see this as a major drawback of eating in Prime C or Aqualina. When we stay in a suite, we hesitate to ask another couple to join us for dinner because it may be an unanticipated expense for them.
  2. Welcome to the board. Some new posters here get less-than-kind responses when new posters ask questions that could easily be answered by looking at the Azamara website. You've asked the kind of question that should get you the help you need from board members. Fear not. You're among friends.
  3. You're right. The grab bar in Onward's CC suite shower has very sharp corners. My elbow ached after I hit it. Things that look good from a design perspective don't always work for people.
  4. 8004 is port side, gym is starboard.
  5. Thank you FLORIDA FLOUNDER. We were able to get a reduced fare and a huge cabin upgrade. Had you not posted this promotion, I wouldn't have known about it.
  6. 8004 (I think this is the one you meant) will be quiet because it is far forward so you won't have lots of foot traffic outside your door. If seas are rough, you'll feel them more here. This is a cabin I've stayed in and liked. From the ones you listed, I'd choose 8029 for the least motion of the ocean. If seasickness is really a big potential problem, take 8029 or 8033.
  7. I thought the glass doors were a good thing - until I smacked my elbow into them while shampooing my hair. Glass is unforgiving, fabric moves.
  8. You're right. They shouldn't have to. But with all the preparation that world cruise participants have to make for a trip this length, it would be nice if they did send a reminder. It would cost nothing to send a special note suggesting that people check their available passport pages.
  9. Isn't there someone at cruisecritic who knows that casinos on Azamara have been gone for a long time? This is copied from a cruisecritic email I received today. Everything You Need to Know about Azamara Journey There are Pros and Cons to sailing on Azamara Journey. Here’s a quick look: Pro: Unique programming, friendly service and impressive commitment to destination cruising. Con: Limited entertainment options, including a too-small casino, and hit-or-miss theater offerings.
  10. Your opinion of the Azamara back office is heard loud and clear by most members of this board, who second it.
  11. People posting on any of these boards are a tiny fraction of a cruise line's passengers. Perhaps you should make up your own mind about Oceania based on something more substantive.
  12. One of the advantages to calling and getting an email copy of the excursions - the descriptions tend to be more extensive and it's much easier to read.
  13. Here's the email: Because of your loyalty, we wanted to give you an exclusive sneak peek of our thrilling new itineraries, promising to transport you to new ports of call across the globe. Prepare to explore destinations that we’ve never visited before. Immerse yourself in the captivating allure of the Caribbean with our back-to-back sailings with no sea days and enticing new ports like Scarborough, Tobago where you can join a snorkeling adventure and witness the Buccoo Reef. Or venture to Gantheaume Point in Broome, Australia and stand in a 120-million-year-old dinosaur footprint. In South America, uncover the vibrant culture of Santa Marta, Colombia, as ancient ruins and colonial architecture invite exploration at every turn. For all foodies, indulge in the culinary wonders of Maizuru, Japan, where expert chefs will guide you through the art of sushi-making. At Azamara Cruises, we believe true exploration demands more than fleeting visits. That’s why we proudly offer more time in port than any other cruise line, including Extended Destination Days of 10 hours or more in port. To fully immerse yourself in the local culture, we’re thrilled to introduce new AzAmazing Evenings on these itineraries – complimentary cultural events offering unforgettable performances and experiences that celebrate the essence of each destination. Your next unforgettable voyage awaits – are you ready to set sail with us? Secure your spot onboard today.
  14. No wonder I couldn't find the prices you were talking about.😃
  15. Think you have an extra zero, but your point is spot on. Azamara doesn't price suites at $180 p/p. Anyone who has priced a cruise will recognize the OP's price as a clear mistake.
  16. If that were the case, I'd find another travel agency.

    White Night

    We also have no interest in ordering lobster on a ship. I'm guessing that anyone who enjoys fresh Maine lobster knows that lobster that has been frozen will never taste as good. Maybe people just enjoy the idea of lobster. 😉
  18. I wonder if Carolexas Cruiser, a first time poster and Vidiruth, a second time poster, are on the same cruise - or if they know each other. It would be interesting to know the sailing dates and cabin categories as well as all the pricing information.
  19. I am grateful today that I'm retired and don't have to make critical decisions with far-reaching and complicated consequences.
  20. We had two booking numbers and the OBC DID carry over.
  21. That big red carpet they roll out when they see you and Donna walking down the dock isn't enough??? 😁😁😁
  22. As my father used to say "If you don't ask, you don't get." Good for you. Enjoy.
  23. Just as a point of interest for those with lots of OBC on back-to-back cruises. We were able to carry over the unspent balance from out first cruise to our second. This happened December 2023-January 2024, a 12 + 14 day cruise. At the B2B meeting at the end of the first cruise, the head of Guest Relations announced this change. We had lots more OBC on the first leg than the second. This worked out well for the more than 40 people doing the B2B.
  24. My TA has been on vacation and returned today. She confirmed that we are getting 10% of our full fare minus port fees and taxes. I have the updated invoice. What a great deal for paying our balance 3 months early.
