annenic Posted November 29, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Do you need to receive an email re bids before you can bid? Is there any other way to be able to bid? And lastly when does bidding begin for each cruise - 2 months out, 3 months out, a year out????? Thanks in advance for any information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annenic Posted November 30, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Thanks. Is there a particular reason you get selected by email? I would love to try for an upgrade (not that I am unhappy with my original selection of cabin), but it would be fun to be able to bid. Is there any other way of being able to bid, if like me, you are not invited to bid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It allows you to check if you are eligible to bid. https://www.azamara.co.uk/azamara-upgrade-program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azamara Circle is Azamara’s loyalty club so if you have ever been on Azamara you are a member of Azamara Circle (used to be called ‘Le Club Voyage’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annenic Posted December 1, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Ahhhhh yes. I remember it being called Le Club Voyage - hadn’t realised the name had changed. After phoning Azamara it seems it is a totally random choice who gets the emails with invitation for upgrade bids. Not completely convinced its random …. but it is what is is. Sadly I won’t have the opportunity to bid this cruise anyway. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the page to check if you can apply for an upgrade on the Azamara Australian website https://www.azamara.com/en-au/azamara-upgrade- program You don’t need to get an email to apply.

Thank you for doing that. I had tried to research before I posted my question but I just seemed to be going round in circles and getting nowhere (just confused!). Thank you!

annenic Posted December 1, 2022 Author #10 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Actually I have previously been to that page and when I enter my name and booking reference the little spinner just keeps spinning. Goes nowhere. Thanks anyway. I so appreciate you trying to help me. That was lovely of you. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have trouble downloading the Azamara shore excursions pdf on Safari, but it works in a flash on Chrome. [Safari is my main browser, so I keep the security settings high; I figure Google is watching everything I do on Chrome anyway so I let that one do what it wants...] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annenic Posted December 4, 2022 Author #15 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Thanks - I'll try that. I guess I am wondering if the cruise may be full with all the higher classes of cabins already taken???? Is that a possibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think they would still take upgrade bids, because people do cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annenic Posted December 8, 2022 Author #23 Share Posted December 8, 2022 No. Not yet. I did however contact my TA to ask about it and he said that ship is very full - so bidding may not happen. I will keep trying - you never know. Thanks for your help and interest 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
