FAO Bonnie - Confirmation on embarkation 17th Nov Chennai

[Wandering Words]

We are on this cruise and have been given two different check-in addresses. Initially our TA advised check-in at the port and provided the port address, subsequently it was posted on the roll that the check-in was to take place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Adyar Park, I contacted the TA and after a few phone calls between her & Azamara we were re-advised that check-in is at the Crowne Plaza and have received embarkation letter now confirming this.

It would appear from the roll call that there is still conflicting advise being given, could I please ask you to check for sure where we should go and post on the roll-call also

 

Thanks in advance

Sue

I'll see if I can confirm for you. But it's Sunday so check back tomorrow.

Yes, our people have arranged to have check-in at the hotel. This is because there is some red tape involved for independent travelers to enter the port area, for security purposes.

 

Thank you for letting us know there was conflicting check-in information.

Sorry for any confusion. I'm sure others are confused as well.

 

Here's the letter that has gone out.

 

"Dear Azamara Journey Guest,
