Thanks Andy. I called Azamara this morning and they advised the schedule is out and "live" but they said they can't send a PDF of the new itineraries and that the website doesn't have anything listed and no idea when it will be updated

Hmmm, that just seems odd. I would think today would have been a big deal and there would have been some promotion of the new deployment.

Azamara Reservations said they have no idea of when the website would be available to view....she even said possibly next week??

Bonnie, any info?

Thanks.

Thanks Bonnie. Is tomorrow the release date? =)

Good day all. I was looking around at some weather sites for all the ports listed on the Princes and Palaces itinerary and it has me worried that October/November are listed as pretty rainy.

A few have stated here that weather should be cooler and nice. Was wondering if anyone else has sailed around southern Spain this late in the season? I know weather is one of those things you can't predict....it's just such a good itinerary!

Thank you all for your time!

Hi Bonnie. Just wanted to check-in...is the 2016 schedule set for release tomorrow? Would you happen to have a sneak-peek for any of us? Haha... :)

Hi Bonnie. Just wanted to re-confirm....is the 2016 schedule still set for release on May 6? 1 week to go! Thank you!

Good day! I'm looking at an Oceania Riviera itinerary - Sept 27 - Oct 5, 2015.

I've been to the Greek Isles in May and in August. I like the heat and the warm nights on the ship so I don't mind July and August in Greece. Plus the sun every day and the winds are wonderful. I'm afraid I'd be disappointed going later in the season.

Has anyone been to the Greek Isles during late Sept/early Oct? What is your experience? Cloudy? Any rain?

Thanks for your time!

Good day everyone. Has anyone been to Skiathos? Was hoping for some opinions/thoughts on this little island that looks like a gem. Thanks!

Great info..thank you to all for your informative suggestions!

Hello everyone. I am considering an Azamara cruise in 2015 that hits these Greek ports - Skiathos, Hydra, Volos (Meteroa) in addition to the regular most visited ones. I have never been to any of these islands/ports.

Anyone been to these places and have any thoughts?

For those that have been before, would you recommend these places and would you want to return there?

Thanks for your help and time!

How is Dottie? I've just learned she is the cruise director on my upcoming Riviera sailing on July 5.

Hello everyone. I am considering an Azamara cruise in 2015 that hits all these unique Turkish ports: Kas, Fethiye, Bodrum and Marmaris. I have been to Marmaris once before....a nice little town with shops and restaurants along the waterfront. Is it safe to assume that all the other stops will be much of the same?

Thanks Bonnie, that is great news! That is right around the corner so I'm looking forward to seeing what's new. Thanks again for the info!

Hi Bonnie! I saw on a previous thread that the 2016 itineraries are being released this month. Do you have any more information and can confirm? Looking forward to seeing the new schedule! Thanks!

Thanks to all for your comments. I am now booked and I am really thrilled with this itinerary having never been to Spain. So much to see!

I wonder if Oceania will do anything for Halloween? I know it's more of a US thing...I've never been on a cruise during that time of year so should be interesting. =)

Keep your trip to the Baltic....it's a wonderful cruise and Scandinavia is beautiful and memorable.

I wouldn't get off the ship in St. Petersburg however....wouldn't step foot in Russia (my personal view). I wish they would cancel all the Russian ports.

Thank you both journeyfan and JimandStan...perfect photo as usual!

Does anyone know if this is a standard sized A2 stateroom? It's sandwiched in between PH staterooms on Deck 10 forward. Was wondering if the size is different b/c of that location.

Also, I noticed there is a large spotlight hanging from below the bridge that is in view of stateroom 10002. Is this ever on during the evening? Would it be bothersome?

Thanks for your help!

JimandStan, hopefully you have some great photos!

Hi Dan. Which itinerary is that? I'm seeing one in May, 2015 Istanbul to Lisbon on Nautica but it doesn't hit Crete, Sicily, Kusadasi or Cadiz.

It hits Izmir, Malta, Tunisia (which is questionable from a previous post) and Malaga. Is this the one?

Thanks!

I complete agree pinotlover. How I wish that O and other lines would cancel all their Russian scheduled stops.

I was on the Marina in the Baltic this past September with 3 days in St. Petersburg and we stayed on the ship b/c of their discrimination against the LBGT community. Russia has taken things to a whole new level now.

What a powerful message that can be made by cancelling the Russian ports (Baltic and Black Seas).

I am also booked on the Sept 22 Nautica sailing Rome to Istanbul. Does anyone know anything aobut Trapani and Cagliari? I've paged through some photos online on Flickr and they really don't look that nice or interesting...grafitti, really run down buildings. I've never been to either so I'm open minded.

How is the weather?

I'm looking at a Marina itinerary in 2015 - Princes and Palaces - October 24 - November 3. Ports included are Mallorca, Valencia, Malaga, Cartagena, Tangier, Seville, Lisbon & others.

Has anyone cruised in this area so late in the season? I know Spain remains warmer than most of the Med but is this too risky for bad weather? This is the only Spain intensive itinerary for 2015.

I appreciate your thoughts. Thank you!

Thanks so much Raul. Very much looking forward to it!

Good mornig Raul. I noticed on a previous thread you mentioned Azamara will be releasing it's 2016 itineraries at the end of April. Does that include the summer 2016 schedule? Do you know the date they will go on sale? I'm excited to see what Azamara has in store...I like to plan early. Thanks for your info!

Sorry, I meant to address Raul from Azamara (not Joel) in my previous post. Thanks!
