Andy Posted July 31, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hi Everyone, Just a quick reminder, that we will be featuring a live chat with Larry Pimentel, President & CEO of Azamara Club Cruises, *today* at 3 pm Eastern time. Of course, work is totally nuts today, but I will try my very best to attend. Hope to see you there !

JVNYC Posted July 31, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Would be great to hear any updates on possible future refurbishments to the ships, comments on the 2016 charters and the tweaked itineraries left for us, and perhaps introducing the new promotion starting. Bonnie, could Larry possibly comment on those if we can't join the chat? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geocruiser Posted July 31, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Andy, I will be out of the house at that time. Will I be able to read the chat later on Cruise Critic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 31, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Andy, I will be out of the house at that time. Will I be able to read the chat later on Cruise Critic? Hi Geocruiser, Yes, you should be able to. If not, I will be happy to provide a recap of what's said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi JVNYC, The questions Larry answers will depend on which questions come in live during the hour, so best if you can attend. That said, I'll call his attention to this thread.

marinaro44 Posted July 31, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hi JVNYC,The questions Larry answers will depend on which questions come in live during the hour, so best if you can attend. That said, I'll call his attention to this thread. Bonnie When I had dinner with Larry on Journey in June, I mentioned all the gloom-and-doom speculation in the thankfully-now-buried "What does the future hold for Azamara?" thread. He said he would go onto Cruise Critic to address that issue. I'm hoping that he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dln929 Posted July 31, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Thank you for the link. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to participate but I'm glad you've posted the conversation for us to read. I liked everything I read except the part about replacing the ceiling in the Sunset Bar. Why???!!! The laced canvas cloth is wonderful. It brings sailboats and sailing to mind. Very nautical and casual. I hope they don't venture too far away that when they replace them. Or better yet, I hope the ceiling refurbishment comes on "Azamara Time." As in we'll be waiting a year and a day for anything to change. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinaro44 Posted July 31, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Thank you for the link. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to participate but I'm glad you've posted the conversation for us to read. I liked everything I read except the part about replacing the ceiling in the Sunset Bar. Why???!!! The laced canvas cloth is wonderful. It brings sailboats and sailing to mind.

As in we'll be waiting a year and a day for anything to change. ;) I agree, but I suspect the issue is having to take it down periodically to clean the fabric panels and the ceiling areas above it. Lots of work removing and rethreading the cords (lines?) that hold the fabric panels in place. Watched them doing it once and was glad it wasn't me.

dln929 Posted August 1, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I hope you're right! That ceiling--and the identical one at the grill on the pool deck--they're both just perfect for a small ship without pretenses. And I'd like to think that this is what Azamara is. I can go elsewhere if I want glitz and puffery but that's not what I want. I hope they never tamper with the essential spirit of the Quest and Journey...ceiling and all. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBMacLaird Posted August 1, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 1, 2014 It was a fun hour of Q&A. And thanks to Host Andy for posting the link for those who missed it. Here it is again: http://live.cruisecritic.com/Event/Cruise_Critic_Live_Destinations_and_Larry_Pimentel?src=tocc There were many questions we could not get to, but Cruise Critic will compile and send them to us. As soon as possible they'll be answered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Literary Lynne Posted August 1, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Thank you for the link so that I could catch up in the UK this morning. So pleased that Mr P took the time to chat, answer questions etc. Just like all his brilliant staff on the Quest and Journey - 1st class customer service. Can't wait to be back on board Quest on 24 October. Thanks again Lynne :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
