  1. Same here. We have four cruises booked so it was not something we were seriously considering. Just saw the increase and thought: «here we go again». I can be wrong of course, but I would expect another promo anytime now. One of the online TAs revealing available staterooms have been mentioned here before, but alas I don’t think it is in line with CC policy to give the name here.
  2. Yes it is. It is a replecement cruise when they changed Journey's itinerary to US east coast for fall of '24. Original price was acceptable, not very low. Now it is over what we would be willing to pay.
  3. We have tracked a cruise on Journey for september 2024. Noticed that they have just raised the price with 40% on a veranda stateroom. The cruise is basically half full. This would probably indicate that a promotion is under way «discounting» it back to the old price. We have seen it before…..
  4. Seems that you are in a fine spot at the moment. Up at King George Island the weather is totally different. Freezing Fog and 100 meters visibility. Enjoy
  5. It is under Patio, but should be OK. Noise in the morning when they set up the tables.
  6. Viking are registrered in Norway. Maybe they will wait and see if they can get away with that.
  7. We tried to buy drinks package using OBC and that was not possible, however for the good news: we managed to buy the dining package at the old price for a cruise in may. Give them a call.
  8. Jose in the Den was playing much too loud last time we sailed. We ended up avoiding that venue when he played, which is quite sad. We gave feedback, but he doesn’t seem to be corrected. What a waste…
  9. The wine list is not what is included in the Ultimate Package. The wine list is bottles for sale. You would want to see the wine list per glass for your package, which I presume was the one you were given. Happens some time when you ask for the wine list..😁🍾
  10. We have an upcoming cruide and just received this in mail
  11. Torrontes is very flowery and crispy at the same time. The good ones are addictive🥰😄😄
  12. I really don’t know how to interpret your post. Everything you mention as being «bad» was posted in the descriprion of the event. I rate this venue and the performance as one of the most memorable and we have done it three times. It is a 2000 year old roman amfi and it is quite obvious that it will be no toilets in the venue itself, but at the entrance. It will be uneven paths,- and you will not be seated comfortably like in an opera. I accept your feelings about the long drive and walk back to the ship, but it doesn’t make the event itself any worse. Hopefully Azamara will continue to find and arrange events for the guests in special venues around the world.
  13. Wonder when they are going to get the right spelling for EILAT.
  14. Hi, Denise. We are on Quest 8th april and received the Ticket leaflet from our TA some weeks after final payment, but we did actually put in a request for it. Gosh that Rio embarkation was not very efficient a year ago. Hopefully it is better this time. Wish we could have joined you.
  15. We have three upcoming cruises on Quest and none of them have Azamazing Evenings. Our April 8th BCN -LIS doesn’t even have a Destination Celebration posted yet. I would definately say we are looking at cost cutbacks. Slightly worried.
  16. It was Capt Jonas Lyddby from Sweden. Johannes came on three days ago in BA.
  17. The value is not there. Especially because the wine by glass offered in the Ultimate package is not worth it. They are usually in the $10- 15 a bottle range.
  18. It is very seldom that you can get fresh fish on a c ruise ship, - for obvious reasons. When Quest was in Ålesund in 2022 I mediated a deal with a local supplier so that Johannes could buy 120 kg of fresh hake filets. Random purchases happens, but not on every cruise.
  19. Quest is in drydock for 12 days. Obviously some maintenance and changes to the basics of the ship, but plenty of time to make her pretty and shining as well.
  20. #4050 or similar is a better choice, then. No doors in the corridor until the medical facilities.
  21. Not regularly. We had it on Quest in August, but it was offered as the "todays special". Not on the menu.
  22. If you pre-purchase in your booking price is still $85 for the three table tour. Would guess that they will not ask for more after you get on board. We are on Quest april 8th and doubt if we will bother with any of the speciality venues this time.
