New Promo Deal

[mchell810]

I am posting this since others have done so in the past to my benefit.  The new promo, effective Feb. 8 -- 22nd, is for $1000 OBC and "up to 30% off" and seems to only be for cruises through November of this year.  I already had the price drop and $500 OBC from Azamara's last promo; so I they added the difference, rather than an additional $1000 (fine by me).  I hope others can take advantage.

 

This is running in the US -- I don't know if it applies elsewhere.

The sale only applies to cruises from March until November of this year.  If you have a December cruise (or later) this promo does not apply.

Thank you.

And is the promotional OBC per person or per stateroom?

It doesn't apply to the early March cruise we're on.🙁  I think it starts with March 25.

It's on the U.S. web site.

The UK website off from 8-22 Feb has an offer of $1000 OBC per stateroom & up to 15% off on cruises from 25 March - 19 November, but it’s not all cruises (E.g Quest Oct 29 Athens to Dubai is not included).

I thought this promotion only applied to new bookings so I have written to my TA to ask.

I book direct and either phone or send Email and OBC is given to booking no problems.

I don't book direct, so Medeba's feedback is of interest.

[ceejilly]

I made a new booking 4 days before the deal came out.  On my request my (new) TA got in touch with Azamara to see if the new offer could be awarded.  Azamara have actually said I can have the $1000 total OBC but it would cost me £124 extra in total cruise costing.  It was still free money whatever way you look at it.

I was able to have my OBC almost doubled with the new offer, on 2 reservations. Thanks again to the OP for posting.

Booked direct, or with TA?

New bookings or existing?

Clarification

Existing bookings with a TA.  One of these is a replacement for a Crystal cruise I was meant to be on in April. Who knows if I will ever see that $ again, so every little bit is helpful!

I have an existing booking but went to the website - did dummy booking - never saw 30% off applied. Ended up higher that what we have, but it seems somewhere there should show a 30% knock off it they mean it.

[java spot]

I was just after the upgraded OBC.  I think my exisitng offer had already been 30% off - whatever that means. I don't take that part very seriously.  And I'm traveling solo so the usual discounts are always tenuous in my situation.

Exactly the same for me, my original booking was made in July 2021.  I just call Azamara and get the adjustment; this is the second time I've gotten it on this cruise.

Azamara lists the prices with the "discount" already accounted for.  In my case I know the price really is a reduction since I have been tracking my cruise since the itinerary was released in January 2021.  I totally agree with you, I would much prefer if there were more transparency in price listings.

I got my June cruise rebooked with the new promotion. I lost the beverage package that was part of the original bookings’ promo, but saved almost $1500 on the fare!

Blag.  I have found out that my TA is out of the office until Tuesday, so feedback may be delayed a bit.  I have already had two price reductions on my back to back cruises so we shall see.

[azalice]

I read thru the cruises involved in the new promo but did not see my Sept. 6 France Intensive in the listings. Does that mean that perhaps the cruise is selling well?
