Grandma Cruising Posted June 28, 2019 Author #526 Share Posted June 28, 2019 There is an Azamazing Evening on all cruises of over a week except for transatlantic cruises. They show up on your Voyage Planner as a zero priced excursion. They don’t necessarily show up a long way ahead. There is always room for everyone. Azamara ask that you book the event if you want to go to it. They say they will charge you $100 if you book then don’t turn up, but I’ve never heard of anyone being charged, and I’m not sure how they would know as they don’t give out tickets. You can book it beforehand or book it once you get on the cruise. They sometimes ask you at embarkation if you will be attending the Azamazing evening.

minabruuke Posted July 2, 2019 #529 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Are sparkling water (any brand is fine) and iced tea available with the complimentary beverage package? I see that the Ultimate Drink Package includes Perrier but we have no need or desire for an upgraded package and I don't need my sparkling water to be Perrier. I've been doing some searching on here and can't determine a definitive answer as it seems the upgraded packages usually get brought into the conversations so I can't determine whether the answers are in regards to the complimentary package or upgraded package. I also find it odd that there isn't any mention of water, juice, coffee, tea (drinks I'd typically assume are included) here: https://www.azamaraclubcruises.co.uk/booked-guests/onboard-packages/complimentary-beverages and I am sure that information is somewhere on the website but I just can't find it.

I know you can get all the water, juice coffee, and tea you can drink. Not sure about the sparkling water. I don't buy the upgraded package and have never been thirsty.

Tea, including green/fruit teas, coffee, including speciality coffees such as cappuccino, latte, macchiato etc are included as complimentary drinks, and so is sparkling water. I’m not sure about Iced Tea as it’s not something I drink, but I’m sure someone else will post the answer.

As long as I have access to sparkling water and tea then I am happy:) I strongly dislike beverages with any sugar or sweeteners unless they are naturally sweet (fresh squeezed juice...yum!) but plain old still water can get a bit boring. My husband will be very happy to hear that specialty coffees are included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkopotamus Posted July 8, 2019 #541 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Thank you for starting this!! We are Celebrity loyalists but are considering Azamara. Many fellow cruisers we've met on Celebrity have encouraged us to try Azamara for the smaller ship experience. We are E+ on Celebrity so our status would carry over nicely.

We thoroughly enjoyed our first Azamara cruise, despite a couple of "hiccups". We are considering when/where to take our next Azamara cruise. This is based upon having previously completed well over a hundred cruises (over 1300 days) aboard various cruise lines, to all seven continents.

It is proving a "tough sell", as was Antarctica an number of years ago (when we could actually make landings there) -- today, she recalls it as one of our favorite itineraries.

We did a organized tour and then returned the following year to do a driving tour, still one of favourite holidays.

Having a difficult time convincing her about an Azamara cruise -- an extended land tour may be an insurmountable undertaking. Perhaps she might reach the same conclusion that you did (extended land tour), after a successful cruise? One step at a time.
