Boycey Posted December 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 26, 2023 We have previously made good use of late departure from AZ but not since the change of ownership. Does anyone know if this is still available? Flight schedule means this could be a good option if still possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingaussies Posted January 4 #2 Share Posted January 4 (edited) We also would like to know if this is possible in Hong Kong. I did phone Azamara in Australia, the rep said she’d get back to me but that was about six weeks ago. Edited January 4 by cruisingaussies .

Rare uktog Posted January 4 #3 Share Posted January 4 When I called recently I was told that option has been withdrawn fleet wide (not sure how correct that is) certainly done quite a few cruises since lockdown and it’s never been possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scots Caz Posted January 4 #4 Share Posted January 4 not been possible on my last cruises, we asked on three as had late flights, ended up booking hotel day room. A couple of fellow passengers did manage it on Journey in Lisbon in November 2022 (paid to stay on till noon) not sure if that was in anyway connected to there being a port pilot strike so ship was going to be in port an additional 24+ hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riocca Posted January 4 #5 Share Posted January 4 It was always subject to local rules and regulations, availability of immigration and customs officials seems to have diminished since Covid even for regular departures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingaussies Posted January 4 #6 Share Posted January 4 I know it was always subject to local regs etc and haven’t heard of it since Covid but was hoping it may have been brought back. It was a brilliant idea, so much more relaxing than having to get day use of an hotel before leaving for a late flight. Shall have to search for a HKG hotel with day use then. There are a couple at or near the airport but the reviews are shocking so it’ll have to be downtown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycey Posted January 18 Author #7 Share Posted January 18 According to AZ UK (eventually...)it is possible but depends on local rules etc. They won't commit ahead of time but advise to ask on board. As others have said, it's a great perk and really doesn't disrupt the boarding process, so I hope they continue to see it as one of the measures that differentiate a premium product from a mainstream one.

Rare uktog Posted January 18 #8 Share Posted January 18 Can anyone post what ports they had the option in for 2023/4 - not earlier. I’ve had several cruises since the pandemic restart and been told each time the port authorities said no (Lisbon, Athens, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Rome) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
