Mackdogmolly Posted February 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2023 The Onward 3/11/23 and 3/18/23 cruises have disappeared from the Azamara website. And according to the roll call for the former, checkin is not yet available at 37 days out. Is it possible that these cruises are going to be cancelled? Or is this what happens when a cruise is sold out (which seems unlikely for these particular identical itineraries). I’m only asking because my sister and her partner are booked on the latter for their first Azamara cruise and of course have all of their hotels and flights booked as well.

blag Posted February 2, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I think 37 days is a tad early for check-in. Probably full, because our next cruise 04 March/Journey/Cape Town is still showing on the Azamara Web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scots Caz Posted February 2, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) I am on the 11th March cruise (B2B after transatlantic) Looked for availability for a friend who is also on TA and there were only 3 outside cabins left the other day with all other categories sold out. Based on a 4th March cruise that opened for check-in last Friday, I am hoping that check-in may open tomorrow.

Sometimes cruises get removed because they have been chartered. Talking about Azamara ships being chartered, yesterday in Ushuia I was asked if I was on the “swinger ship”. I had no idea what they were talking about. They explained to me that Azamara Pursuit came in the local news of Tierra del Fuego as being a “swinger ship”. Apparently two cruises before mine the ship was chartered. 😳 Ivi 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there roll calls for either/both cruises and, if so, how many contributors? Are there M&Ms, and again how many souls have registered? Perhaps a call to Azamara or TA might clarify? Or, wait and see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From personal experience just a few weeks ago, this is exactly what happened to every cruise in 2023 starting or finishing in Venice. The all reappeared 4-5 days later with the actual port in brackets. I was initially worried when I couldn't find the cruise that I had booked just days earlier, but reassured when I realised it was a whole group of them, and completely happy when I saw them all return. Are there other gaps in the schedule for this or other ships? Is there anything in common, such as a calling or turnaround port? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combine Posted February 2, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 2, 2023 These two cruises are the Canary Islands/ Madeira round trip. It may be that they are having to move ports around for whatever reason. Maybe to avoid congestion at some ports on certain days. Its a great itinerary, we did it as an 11 nighter last January.

These cruises are probably not full, so there must be a different explanation. Significant change of itinerary or charter? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackdogmolly Posted February 7, 2023 Author #18 Share Posted February 7, 2023 If not, at 33 days out, you might want to contact your TA to see what’s going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackdogmolly Posted February 7, 2023 Author #21 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Could also mean your cruise is now sold out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muenchner Posted February 7, 2023 #22 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I can see the March 11 cruise back in the system, there is one room avalibe, it think it is booked, thats it. I guess the check in problem has to do with the new website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
