hiccups Posted March 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hello Azamara cruisers. We just got called for an LCV upgrade from an OV (4054, I think) to a Veranda. A quick booking check shows 6016, 6079, 6083 and 8007 available. If anyone can provide any input as to which might be a good choice, I'd appreciate it. This is for the 4/20 Quest cruise from Lisbon to Barcelona. I thought the even cabins would have a better view, but as 6016 is above the lounge, we might want to stay away from that. TIA for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiccups Posted March 19, 2018 Author #2 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Well, the TA called back, and only 6016 and 6079 were available, so we went with 6079. We may not like the location as well as our original OV, but the veranda will be nice to have! Very glad to have snagged the elusive upgrade!

TIA for any help! We are on the same cruise, has it's very port intensive with very little sea time I would go for 6079 a nice quite location. Has to the view most of the travel will be at night.

Our posts must have crossed, that is the one I would have chosen. We have had it before, congratulations on the upgrade.

excitedofharpenden Posted March 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Congratulations on the upgrade. Yes, 6079 is a good spot to be. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to the view most of the travel will be at night. Good point about travelling at night! It would have been nice to have gotten an upgrade on our 13 night cruise last year to get more bang for the buck, but I'm happy to have the chance to experience a veranda on AZ. Overall we got a fantastic deal on this cruise between the Nights on Us sale, LCV discount and LCV quarterly sale, plus we got the booking onboard OBC.

Rare travelberlin Posted March 19, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Congratulations on your upgrade! I see they are still calling instead of contacting via email and allowing some time to decide. Lucky you that you were able to answer that phone. Ivi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky you that you were able to answer that phone.Ivi They called my TA, who called me, but I didn't recognize the number and let it go to VM! LOL. Luckily I listened right away, and she also sent an email. Not sure if any of the other cabins would have been available had I answered the phone, but sounds like we got a good cabin anyway. I didn't expect any upgrades would be available, and if there were, I thought it would be closer to sailing date, since we're still a month out.

Grandma Cruising Posted March 19, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 19, 2018 They say you can be offered upgrades anytime from 6 weeks out. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paremata2 Posted March 20, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I have often wondered about Azamara phoning about an upgrade when one lives in a completely different time zone! I hope that it doesn’t disadvantage us for our Baltic cruise in August where we have applied for an upgrade. What is the experience of Australians and New Zealanders in this regard?

Unfortunately, it appears we 'miss out' because of the time zone. I have enquired but a response hasn't been forthcoming. Bit disappointed really Edited March 20, 2018 by aussie travel bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam Posted March 21, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Ask your TA to call them and casually inquire if there might be any upgrades available. That's what mine did, and I got a huge one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiccups Posted March 21, 2018 Author #15 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I did a mock booking online this morning, and a cabin showed as available on Deck 7, so I contacted my TA to see if we might be able to get it. At first they told her it wasn't an upgrade option because it was a V2, but when she asked them to double check with LCV, they came back and said yes! Starting this trip out great :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
