Agree with everyone , if it's not broken why not leave it alone ?

it worked very well before .

My guess is the change would have been made to reduce any corporate fee paid to the app publisher.  My personal view is that it seems ok at the moment.

That's good to hear thanks Igor the update.

Currently on Pursuit. Have not missed the mattresses at all. Not sure but the lounge chairs appear wider than on the other ships.

Ruefully I remembered your post the past 2 weeks as I have been dealing with a supplier (Dell Computers) for an order in which I spelled out very clearly the parameters for delivery, parameters to which they agreed and that they later confirmed.

 

You can guess what happened and the ensuing chaos of phone calls and emails.

 

So I certainly have no idea who is at fault in the issue of the lounger cushions.

I do not really mind who is at fault, I'm more concerned that it's the customers who are losing out. That accountability sits with azamara.

It’s just not a focus.

 

You know what happens when you loose focus.

I very much hope you're right. I'm only responding to the live commentary. My only personal experience is from a couple of years back where I found the waiters had a habit of staring straight in front rather than catching your eye. I'm hopeful it won't be like that when I'm on board in a couple of months. Here's hoping.

You shouldn't need to do it but my strategy when they cannot deliver the wine at the same time as the meal is to go in to the reastaurant with a glass of wine from the bar as it is very annoying when the meal arrives before the wine. Thank for the posts really helpful for our upcoming voyage. It's also a shame about the included vs non included drinks.

I always think it's useful to read reviews both positive and negative and yes some things may have been raised previously but that does not mean they are any less relevant. I think the review raises useful points that l read with interest and as such is very useful for people considering wether or not to try the Azamara brand.

If, for example outside rooms have sold out cruise lines will still offer them but at inflated prices reflecting that they will upgrade another passenger currently in an outside room to a veranda class room. The high price they have charged for the outside room reflects the lost revenue from selling the veranda room. Just economics and fluid pricing.

GI3G Evening Piano Recital with Aaron Monteverde

 

As the ship departs at 17.00 not too sure how this would work. But at £250 pp too expensive for me anyway so already discounted.

Just checked, 16.00 departure and £354pp. Even less likely to be one for me. I'd expect Elton John for that price. Front row seat.

I will be doing my first azamara cruise next year how do you apply for upgrades please

 

 

Sent from my iPad using Forums

When I had my first Azamara cruise about 3 years ago I joined the LCV programme and got my membership number and then applied for the upgrade though the link that GMC has helpfully provided. I guess I was fortunate as it was a popular cruise, but it worked for me. Hope you are lucky.

You find the application form and just email it off to Azamara and you should get the auto response below:

We made the request for our first trip (after we joined the LCV programme) and were contacted to see if we wanted to accept the upgrade (upsale). Hope it works for you.

Specifically chose a suite with a bath do looks ideal so far. I get relegated to the shower in the gym. Showed picture to wife who was very happy with it. But we are all different.

The system lets you join prior to your first azamara cruise. You can then apply for a cabin upgrade straight away. Even for your first cruise.

Why close a thread that is active?. It will end of it's own accord if necessary. There are too many threads on this site closed off too soon. In my option.

Buy the time you add flights this is petty much the same price this cruise has been through uk agents.

Exactly the point. Azamara 1 guests 0.

Which I can see it will make ordering a drink an ordeal rather than a pleasure. You will at best have to ask for your drink but specify it's with the included spirits and even then hope it's not going to be refused. Most customers will not ask or will assume they have to upgrade to get the drink they want. Exactly what Azamara intended, in my opinion.

This does not bode well for the first night of a holiday. A discussion with the bar staff followed by a visit to reception (or) most people will either upgrade or settle for the stated included cocktails. Well done azamara you have got that right!!

 

Sent from my SM-T585 using Forums mobile app

Unfortunately we have the statement from azamara (the websites list of included drinks) and the practical first hand experience. I fear its only reticence to accept the inevitable that is keeping the thread going. But I hope I'm wrong.

On our first cruise we did get the upgrade. You can join lcv before your first cruise and then apply for the upgrade.

From memory it does have a military base close by which could have had something to do with it. The only thing good about it is that it does have an unexpectedly nice beach (but no facilities). But I agree not worthy of a second visit. In fact it's surprising that it's on so many itineraries.

The new armless chairs are attractive and wide. Would prefer more padding. But after last night I don't plan to return, maitre de knows our issue.

 

Sent from my ONE A2005 using Forums mobile app

It's good you made the maitre de aware of the issue. It is silly when they do that at any restaurant let alone one that is supposed fine dining.
