To have it hosted by the Assistant Cruise Director. And just another on the list of "you need to arrange this". Big mistake. Perhaps Riocca's observations are correct. Such a pity.

We had one on Quest last month but it was a low profile self administered thing with just room set aside for it, Ryszard did attend but only when someone reminded him it was going on. Now under new ownership maybe Azamara are taking a more ambivalent view of Cruise Critic like the majority of other cruise lines. Actually the Cruise Critic Meet & Greet program was suspended for Covid [across all cruise lines] and has not been brought back officially. When I asked CC about it, they were surprised that Azamara is still holding them at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted September 20, 2022 #2005 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I think some Azamara staff set up social media pages elsewhere which duplicate much of the information sharing of cruise critic. Maybe that has found more favour with management as I see from some trip reports they get hosted meetings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a shame, really. Such a great way to meet people from your roll call. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takemewithyou Posted September 20, 2022 Author #2008 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I think we should all continue to register for the Cruise Critic parties via Azamara web site to let them know there are passengers who do appreciate getting together…..still. We registered for our Quest cruise in Dec and quite a few people came…..with masks. Drinks were served. I remember the Assistant cruise director made an appearance. It was the just after leaving the post of Miami on embarkation day. I don’t really care if the event is hosted so much as I want to meet the people I have been chatting with for months! We have met some very nice people this way…..some I still stay in contact with! As Covid guidelines are being relaxed, I wonder why Cruise Critic can’t poll the cruise lines, find out who allows these gatherings right now and get these links going again. I have seen CC gatherings happening on other lines, besides Azamara! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree completely, and frankly, would think it would be in CC’s interest to encourage them as well, as a way to promote group cohesion. It’s really great to put a face to a name after sometimes years of chatting online. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a turd that won't flush😀 Like the way you give us the good news before the bad! Great to hear that Piraeus no longer require a negative test - we join the Quest there in just over 4 weeks and were trying to decide how best to organise tests. One less thing to worry about now. Just have to worry about how many Schweppes to buy! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Phil, how did you learn that a negative covid test is no longer required for boarding the ship in Piraeus? That is great news! I am on the cruise next month with Grandma Cruising. It is a big relief not to worry about the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
