Azamara Alert

 

Due to technology upgrades, we expect Wi-Fi connectivity to be affected on a portion of three Azamara voyages: 

• Azamara Pursuit- 11/19/22
• Azamara Journey – 1/15/23
• Azamara Quest – 2/19/23

 

Only these voyages will be affected. Wi-Fi will be available in The Den.

 

For the inconvenience, every stateroom will receive a $300 Onboard Credit.

What about Onward????

Was Onward already upgraded when in dry dock?

Someone on another platform was told it was to remove the ships from the RC Wi-Fi system, Onward was never part of that system as it was purchased after the sale.

So, a part of the cruise will be affected. And $300 OBC compensation is offered.

On my recent Azamara cruise, one morning the captain broadcast apologies for the absence of ANY Internet connection shipwide, and there were other days (no announcement) when there was no internet at all due to some system failure.

No $300 OBC compensation for us!

So, if the outage is planned, and you know about it you get money. If it's not planned, and you are in the dark, futilely struggling to get connected, wasting time and effort, assuming it's just the usual lamentably slow connection you get what? No internet!  PAHHH!

Nope ... it was horrendous in August (after 8 minutes of trying to connect - while in port - and only half a page loaded I gave up and used my phone with instant connection)

It was pretty bad on the Quest in September just off the coast of Western Europe.  Speeds reminiscent of dial up.  Would be nice if Azamara jumped to Starlink!
