Thanks for the detailed trip reports that you post on your blog. After your May land trip it sounded like you preferred cruising and wouldn't be returning to a land trip. How do you feel about it now? Is another land trip in your future?

Our April 2025 Italy Intensive was just posted. It's on shore at the Goldoni opera house in Livorno. Its actually listed as AZ Amazing Evening on the excursion list.

Aaron Marina 11/2025 and were able to book them last July.

Is that your order of preference?

I know that Oceania promotes the fact that their equivalent level CC suite can order from the specialties and we have done it on two cruises. Is it possible you are confusing the R ships from them with those of Azamara?

I see a balcony for $6,499 and then the 10% Club discount??

So if boarding early in the process how bad is the line? What's the usual wait? I'm concerned with standing more than the time it takes due to bad knees & back.

Our first Azamara too, we're in an N1 for 12 days. Is my understanding correct that we request all of our  reservations once we board? How many can we book during that time?

I was in a PH and was not being coy. I answered the questions as asked and I'm sorry it wasn't as quickly as you require but some of us have other things to do than monitor this site constantly. I did book my allocation when allowed and was able to get two more. One was for the first night that I booked after boarded. The other was the 7:00 PM as a walk up on a port day which was from a no show.

Regatta, last year Sydney to Tahiti with a full ship.

Was on an 18 day cruise and had a two top every day, and we eat at 6:30 or 7:00.

We took the ferry to Toronga Zoo. It was a quick and nice ride on a hot day. The zoo was wonderful, very large and there is a viewing spot that has the best views of the city and the Opera House.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. 

You might want to post the same question on the Azamara forum to get another perspective.

May I ask where the transfer to the city dropped you off?

Thank you, we will make use of this.

Happy you had such a wonderful trip and thanks for the photos. Where did you pick up the water taxi to get to your hotel when you got to Venice? Did you reserve it ahead of time or did your hotel arrange it for you?

Did you book specialty restaurants once you boarded? How was the line and how long did it take?

Wishing you well with your flights and have a great cruise.

Love 8044, been in it twice. Right near the elevator for our convenience and no noise.

Did anyone take the Azamara Coach Transfer to Venice City Center (Tronchetto)? I'm wondering where exactly they drop you because I'd like to arrange for a water taxi to our hotel.

Thank you for taking the time to keep all of us so well informed. I enjoyed reading such a positive tone without all of the nitpicking and complaining that seem to permeate these threads. So happy for you that you had a wonderful trip.

We use them for when we have pre and post cruise stays. We went to Sydney & the Blue Mountains for 5 days prior to cruising and our bag went to the ship. We took small carry on bags with us. Sure beat mugging that big one around.

Another conspiracy, Grape-gate. Sigh......

We were also told no.Booked one but had to pay.
