Looking for anything specific right now won’t do anything but make you frustrated, so please, don’t expect to see more than basic changes until the 20th. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I suspect the tax issue is because although a currency conversion has been done, it is still looking at the pricing structure of the US site 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example I’ve looked at a number of cruises and they’re all marked Perry Golf, I’m sure that can’t be the case unless Perry Golf are going to have a permanent presence on all the ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that we're seeing GBP prices on the.com website, it's clear that they've stopped doing a redirect to the.co.uk one and have an alternative technical approach. I suspect that this is a bigger issue, and that whoever has specified or set it up doesn't realise that UK (and I think EU) legislation prohibits the use of pricing that omits mandatory extras. We'll see next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the disclaimer on the pop up is telling. “Please note: While we do our best to publish accurate information, some discrepancies may appear as we finalize our new website” The email advising of the change of website did say that Azamara.co.uk would be unavailable until the 20th so as uktog says I think it’s a temporary patch. But you’re right until the 20th we won’t actually know. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jora Posted March 18, 2023 #112 Share Posted March 18, 2023 20 hours ago, uktog said: Playing around on the new website it looks like the upgrade bidding programme is getting linked into the website. It was not clearly mentioned there in the past but has its own (still inactive) tab under "booked guests" Even though the new website says Azamara Upgrade bidding tool is currently unavailable due to the transition to new systems, last night I got an email from Azamara saying I'm eligible for a stateroom upgrade (sailing Apr 29). The email links to the bidding site seem to work nicely. However, I cannot say if it's a new bidding site or not, since this is my first cruise with Azamara, so I've got nothing to compare to. There is a currency problem, since the email and web page show all offers in NOK though I've done my reservation in EUR and before the webpage maintenance break my account showed OBC in EUR too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upgrades are run by a third party (plusgrade) that do this for lots of airlines and cruise lines.https://www.plusgrade.com/partners/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riocca Posted March 18, 2023 Author #114 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Lots of hard work must be going on over the weekend, the Perry Golf logos have disappeared and tax & port fees are now included in the U.K. pricing. Looking forward to finding out how the account section is going to work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My screen grab was from the basic "View Features" link for each stateroom on any cruise and the same (wrong) price is also showing on the main page for the sailing e.g.: https://www.azamara.com/gb/cruises/jr230325-009-9-night-spain-intensive-voyage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare tonyl1956 Posted March 19, 2023 #121 Share Posted March 19, 2023 One interesting techie thing is that it's not working properly on Safari (v14) on an oldish Mac or on an iPad (running iOS 15). No cruises appear in the search. Works on Firefox on the Mac. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takemewithyou Posted March 19, 2023 #122 Share Posted March 19, 2023 One thing I noticed……under Booked Guests, there used to be a link to register for CruiseCritic meet and mingle. It’s gone and I wonder if it’s coming back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running fine, at the moment, on iOS 16 but it’s an interesting point as to how far back the web developers will go with operating system compatibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be hosted by the Cruise Director with senior officers attending and drinks & canapés provided. Now it's only a room that is provided, no servivpce, no hosting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
