We were signed up for it last year but didn’t make it. I did really want to go. We heard a good reports from other guests. Honestly, we probably should have just gone. We ended up skipping out because one of the passengers was sailing solo and was having the worst time. She won the trip in a raffle and I swear her goal was to just make everyone miserable. She was going, so I was not. It was the end of the cruise and I didn’t mind at the time sitting it out for peace of mind and a little extra rest. Our cruise director refunded us without us even asking. I think she knew why we skipped out.

Our Amsterdam cruise in April, Avalon let us know where they’d be about a week before. Though the docking area was probably 1/2- 3/4 of a mile from one end to the other with a maybe 20-30 slips mostly full. We walked from our hotel (2 miles) to the port number that was assigned 17 or 22 kind of the last end. But when we arrived there our ship was actually in the first slot, so we had to walk that additional unplanned stretch. I’d recommend maybe calling them the morning of to make sure they gave you the right info. Even our app had it listed wrong.

You can always try to switch to a different room, pay a slight difference if the price is better then when you booked. We do this from time to time and never have issues up to days before we sail. Though we just booked our first Azamara so don’t really know what to except with them. But thinking they’d be happy to please their guests.

I’m a TA and the thing is when booking with a TA is royal will only contact the direct person that booked. Technically, your agent booked, he gets the email and is supposed to reach out to his clients. Other lines will email the contact on file but royal goes through booking agents. I work under a hosting network and didn’t get my email until a couple of days after royal actually sent them. It is not an efficient way for contacting with such changes.

Our 8/1 sailing is changing too. canceling the glaciers email: Due to a speed limitation caused by a technical issue with one of the ship's engines, we've reduced our speed between ports and as a result, we've adjusted some of our arrival and departure times in Alaska and British Columbia. Regrettably, this also means we'll no longer visit Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier. We're terribly sorry for any inconvenience caused by this, but the safety and comfort of our guests and crew is always our top priority.
