I have only used mine on cruise-only. I used 6 free nights on a 7 night cruise. You cannot calculate it by the advertised online price as they use the full fare rather than any discounted fare and no offer benefits (OBC etc) It can be possible that using free nights on a trip can end up costing more than booking without them depending on the offers.

post 1965 and 1966 here

I am in UK and receive the upgrade emails, normally don't upgrade but did on last trip in December (I have never booked a guarantee, always select a V1 cabin number)

I got upgrade emails for this cruise and prior cruise - didn't click them at the time.(not looking to upgrade) Tried them on back of this post - both say "not eligible for upgrade" (as does link above)

not sure if there is anything new - best price guarantee was in place for US and Canada for some time. - not available for UK....if drops (even before final payment) you have to cancel, lose your deposit and rebook (so need to factor in if worth it) the temporary Cruise with Confidence was great but like other transport benefits that offered additional flexibility during covid, it has ended.

my last email to them (re incorrect points) was 28th December and response, with apology for delay, was 13th January..

I am on the 11th March cruise (B2B after transatlantic) Looked for availability for a friend who is also on TA and there were only 3 outside cabins left the other day with all other categories sold out. Based on a 4th March cruise that opened for check-in last Friday, I am hoping that check-in may open tomorrow.

out of cabins 8am, off ship by 9am...breakfast will be available from early but everything will close down by 9am.

when you go onto the Azamara website you will see and 'account' option top right where you can login (or register if not previously) once in you will see your Circle membership number, tier and number of points

how early are you talking, if your checkin time is 4pm and you turn up at 2pm then that would probably work ok, if your checkin time is 2pm and you turn up at 11am there may be no luggage porters around that early (cases were taken by porters outside the terminal)

my December cruise the original 'from' price was £370 on 22nd September invite on the reminder on 12th November it was £350 then on 1st December it was £330 However I thought this was more likely to be related to currency fluctuation from US$ than a reduction.

cruisemapper is showing Pursuit as the only ship in Civitavecchia on 1st April Unless it changes beforehand, earliest boarding time is 2pm - you will select your slot when you check-in approx a month before (often 45 days but some appear to be later)

may depend on ship and supply - on Onward in December it was 3 small bottles.

unlikely - upgrade bids have been notified 2 or 3 days before the cruise date. My last one I had printed everything off and travelled (staying 2 nights before cruise) and was then notified so needed new bag tags etc and only had picture of boarding pass on my phone - was all fine at port

Library on the other 3 is Atlas Bar on Onward (who have a library area in the Living Room) minimal differences...I have noticed that the stage & DJ Booth in Living Room can be in different areas on the different ships. Mosaic Cafe may be on opposite side and still some Princess and temporary furniture on Onward...proper stuff delayed (well had not made it by December)

with the proviso that it looks like this is an old document and does not necessarily reflect current itineraries...eg Onward showing Azamazing events Jan/Feb in Israel whilst the ship is in the Caribbean 🙂

it may depend on the port and your scheduled time. You may find yourself having to wait about in/outside the terminal. Earliest slot is 2pm, I have done a few trips this year and when in hotel night before have had hotel store bags whilst go tour/have lunch before heading to port for 2pm...a couple of times shuttle times have had me arriving about 1:30pm then had to wait for checkin (some ports more comfortable than others for waiting) Sometimes I have seen posts on social from people complaining about the waiting facilities when they have chosen to turn up far too early. The guidance on the documentation is not to arrive outside your time slot

nothing showing other than 100% supplement after September 2023...I expect reductions will appear as the cruises get closer (actually surprised to see 25% supplements as far out as August currently)

...and on looking today (have some credit that expires soon so trying to plan what to use it on) it appears that the reduced supplement is now on all cabin types (at least on the ones I have been checking)...ever changing

my research was via a US agent site (not allowed to name) it allows you to search solo prices and has a column with the % supplement. note the verandas and suites all appear to now have 100% supplement irrespective of any offers here is updated table for 2023 (previously just looked till end June...note % in red have dropped from 50% to 25% supplement (on insides and outsides) Some Quest cruises added now too

looks like lowest is now 50% uplift. Some of the previous 25% supplement trips are now 100% - wonder if the are limited numbers available for reduced supplement Had 6 wonderful solo trips in the last year all 25% uplift verandas....looks like that is a thing of the past and nothing booked for 2023

was on in October - status quo for Pursuit...the 3 other ships have it on tv.

I am seeing tier points and history ok

shore excursions show... Destination Celebration : Paganini Show TENERIFE, CANARY ISLANDS DURATION: 1 HOURS 15 MINUTES Join us for a complimentary onboard celebration of our arrival to the port of Tenerife.

as per the link in post 4 - no not required as mentioned here (and in other posts) the documentation has not been updated
