Hi

I've scoured the Land Discoveries online brochure and except for the Azamazing event, there are no shore excursions posted for Jan 12 and Jan 13 in Ho Chi Minh City. When will those be available?

There were two other threads--now merged into one--that discussed the same issue last month... You may find the information there--including my own experiences relative to touring in Vietnam while aboard Azamara Journey earlier this year--to be helpful...

Xport,

Thanks much for posting and your perspectives on your tours!! I will be patient with Azamara, though it is odd that all other stops have their shore excursions figured out.

 

It's good to know that you found the haul to Hanoi worthwhile. We will likely do it too, since I don't know when we would return. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?

Tours for Ho Chi Minh City were published online yesterday!

That you found my prior posts helpful... I approached my touring in Asia with the thought that I may never have opportunity to return and am glad that I did; it was a wonderful experience...

 

Enjoy your trip! And if it's any consolation, there are still gaps and errors associated with Land Discovery offerings during my South America sailings on Azamara Journey next February/March too...

Xport,

 

I have sent a note to our Land Discovery team to advise of the issues you are having with south america tours. If you can provide us with any further details it will be greatly appreciated as it will allow us to target the exact solutions needed.

 

Thank you, Azamara.

While I believe that you located my extended chronicle of issues related to the Land Discovery offerings for Journey's South America sailings of 7 February and 19 February, I attempted to summarize them--yet again--on the following thread this morning...

If Shore Ex reads through that thread carefully/with discernment--my multiple comments are not mere reiterations of previously reported concerns--and looks carefully at what has been posted to the website [it's only gotten worse over the past month (ie; a tour offering airport drop-off on 7 February embarkation day; another night tour--appropriate to the 19 February embarkation day but listed as an offering for disembarkation day--12+ hours after all but consecutive cruisers leave the ship in Rio--improperly associated with the 7 February cruise)], they'll quickly learn that the numerous errors are often illogical/logistically impossible if the tours are intended to be offered at all...

 

With all due respect... I was initially disappointed by some of what I saw that was either incorrect, that failed to recognize how/when people tour [the Carnival festivities run all night!], and that was not particularly guest-focused [particularly for consecutive cruisers]... It's safe to say I'm now exasperated; I've expended significant time and effort to report my findings--ultimately, the primary advantage to getting these things corrected accrues to Azamara--but sometimes feel like I've been fruitlessly "yelling down a hole"...

 

Thanks for your intervention...
