Reliable shipside officers have told us that AzAmazing Evenings are being phased out in lieu of onboard AzAmazing celebrations onboard or destination celebrations.whilst all cruises might not have a suitable venture for AzAmazing evenings we are extremely disappointed in the direction this is now taking. Not aligned with Destination immersion at all. It will be in our feedback and I encourage others to do the same.. I will of course be feeding this back too, for all the good I think it will do. It's a shame, but I feared as much. See you soon! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipcruise Posted February 28 #3127 Share Posted February 28 Oh wow, I’m extremely disappointed. Azamara is trying hard to disappoint guests. I would like to hear some good news instead of increasing prices and still no information about Suez Canal situation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debcip Posted February 29 #3130 Share Posted February 29 I was booked on a cruise pre-pandemic for which folks were talking about something called, I believe, an Indonesian Rice Table. I have not seen this noted recently. Is this something that is still being done, does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We asked the chef and he agreed to do it. I think there were about sixteen people, it was delicious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that our Destination Celebration in Walvis Bay was terrific - it didn't lose anything by being on board. The quality of the choir, dancers & acapella group were amazing. On the other hand the last Azamazing evening we had was not so good because all it consisted of was queuing to get on buses to go to a marquee in a hotel grounds to see a show that could easily have been provided on board with no eternal queuing. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving your pics as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliaschief Posted March 2 #3138 Share Posted March 2 Mid March Prime C on Onward will have an Asian themed menu for a couple of weeks. Maybe doesn’t appeal to all but we are looking forward to the change. Was shown the menu last night. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitby100 Posted March 6 #3141 Share Posted March 6 If the Asian menu was all that was available to my husband in Prime C he’d lose his mind. We go for the Chateaubriand. I’m not even going to share this post with him. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimal time in five ports, really just fuel stops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roel94 Posted March 7 #3145 Share Posted March 7 We did not get the great ports and docks that other cruiselines got. No overlands. Someone does not want to pay the dockage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World cruisers have posted elsewhere that this includes in their view extremely generous compensation. I hope single leg cruisers are looked after as well 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also guests of individual legs affected and from the compensation you are being offered you are certainly not being screwed far from it. Technically Azamara in the current circumstances are only obliged to get the World cruisers to their final destination so rather than get emotional I would suggest you do as many others are and be very grateful for what you are being offered. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riocca Posted March 8 #3150 Share Posted March 8 Segment 7 of the World Cruise was due to end in Dubai and as I understand it full World Cruise passengers are approximately one third of the total passenger count, this would probably make Dubai the disembarkation port for the majority of passengers. Therefore deviating from Dubai would make it a logistical nightmare for many of the other passengers who will be on that segment. Cancellation of segments 8&9 was inevitable given the current situation in the Red Sea and minimises the ongoing disruption to future itineraries, appreciate it’s disappointing for those who booked the full World Cruise but Azamara are looking at the bigger picture. As regards those who booked single segments I would expect Azamara to be making the same offer made to those on Journeys cancelled 3rd May cruise which has been noted on another thread. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
