Travelingwithstyle

Thank you for your HO. You are 100% correct. As you are, we are seasoned travelers but in our 50s. We have been very loyal to Azamara and are very familiar with their operations and the majority of their officers. Once we have completed the Azamara cruises we have booked with FCCs, we will be moving on to other cruise lines for many reasons....not just the wine.

We feel the same way....complained over and over again to them while we were on the current Onward World Cruise. The premium beverage package doesn't offer any different wine choices than the included package. The ultimate beverage package is very limited for the wine selection. We hope the new CEO changes the below par included wine options.... with many other things she has to improve.

In the ladies gym showers....one shower is bigger than the other but both are nice sizes. Neither has a seat/bench.

Ys Yes Yes...unfortunately not in spam. Yesterday, I wrote the support team that is taking the questions for the webinar and lets hope they will send us an invitation. Thank you and have a super day.

Can you please send me the email about the webinar. I have made two phone calls to Azamara to try and and get the email invitation. Yesterday the Azamara agent after being been put on hold for a long time....asked for my email address and told me I would receive the email inviting us to the webinar by the end of the day....did not receive the email. I called again today and the Azamara agent put me on hold for a long time...she stated she reached out to Miami and to supervisors and they said the webinar was internal personal not guest. I explained that many have received the webinar email that are guest. The Azamara agent suggested I reach out to all of you who have received the email about the May 14th webinar so maybe I can provide customer service more info so I can be invited to view the webinar. I just got off the 2024 World cruise and I am a long time Azamara loyal guest.....Im going to bite my tongue but you all know why. Can you or anyone that has the email about the webinar please send it to me florida.mvr1 @ gmail .com Thank you.

Thank you for posting. The MR4 code has not expired and the price reduced has been reduced by $500 to $4499 for 15 days DV cabin. We booked Saturday for the 15 day Upper Mississippi Explorer for June. June is almost sold out for DV cabins but August has availabilty. Thank you for posting.

I believe it is CD Eric that leaves in Lima. Capt G will start with us in Tahiti. I could be wrong but Capt G has told us this since sailing with him this summer and in FLL just a week ago.

Thank you so much for letting us know. We were really really hoping Iwan would be the F&B on the WC.

You can call Azamara and ask for an updated invoice. It will show your excursions and what you paid for them. They can email you the invoice unless you have a TA and they will have to email the updated invoice to them. Once your TA receives it they can forward it to you in an email. Hope this works for you. I did this several times recently. Good luck.

Who is the Captain (Captain G or Smith)??? Thank you

A question for you...just curious. We booked our 2024 Azamara world cruise on board on Nov 2021. What benefits did you receive for booking your WC on board? Thank you.

We will be going on Azamara WC. I recommend using your TA if they give you a large rebate, OBC etc. If they dont find one. You will be leaving alot of money on the table. Even if you have a TA we have been able to contact Azamara direct and ask alot of questions, book excursions, book flights, etc. If you have more specific questions you can email me at florida.mvr1 at gmail.com Best wishes.

I can't comment and be sure if the refund would be OBC or your original payment. Obviously inquire with them once on board. It might be different because your purchases would be for only a single voyage. Mine was very complex because of the number of excursions we booked. You are so right. I was hoping they take the 10% off the total and then I would pay instead of months later getting a refund. Again, mine was very complex and I was working with the excursion manager for weeks while I was onboard to book these excursions. Not all had been loaded to the system etc. I was truly grateful of his efforts. I guess my reply was to give a little hope that as of July they were offering 10% off future excursion bookings. They even left an advertising flyer in the cabin. There were a few that are excempt from the discount...overnight excursions, grand prix.... Hope it works out.

Yes, as long as it is not an immediate back to back cruise. In July I purchased the majority of our January Azamara World Cruise excursions. Once I arrived home, I called Azamara to pay for the excursions. I had to pay the original cost of all the excursions (which I paid with OBC and personal credit card). Once on the WC in January....I will be refunded 10%. I hope that helps answer your question and I hope it works out for you.

If you have time can you post F&B Manager Dejan Silavski background. Thank you

We could not agree with you more. You are 100% right. We were on the Onward for 33 days this summer. We were so disappointed in the included generic Azamara label wines. We were going to upgrade to the Ultimate package and realized that the wine options were so limited and not worth upgrading. We spoke to the FBM, that we have known for years, because we are on the Onward for the 155 days world cruise. We were told the wines were going to be changed very soon. Might sound weird but we really enjoy our wine and our biggest concern is bad red wine for 155 days on the World Cruise. IOHO we really don't think additional cost for wine and corkage fees should have to be paid on our 155 days of a World Cruise. We are very loyal to Azamara and are seasoned cruisers but bad red wine on the World Cruise will be the red line wether we return back to Azamara.

If you have a chance and you are still onboard the Onward....can you tell us about the Red wines that are included and not upgraded to the ultimate package. Are they still using the generic Azamara label for the wines? Thank you for your time and any information. It is greatly appreciated.

Oh ok. Sorry. Ill ask FFMilesJunkie. Thank you

On 3 back to backs June and July 2023 (Onward)....yes for all three segments. I would ask the cabin stewart if you dont get one.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate the assistance.

Thank you for the assistance with the Australian Visa. For travel to New Zealand does anyone know if cruise ship passengers should obtain the $17NZD Visa or the more expensive visa? Does anyone have that webpage or app info so I can obtain the New Zealand Visa. I think in early 2020 I made a mistake and paid for the expensive one. Any help with the New Zealand Visa for cruise ship passengers would greatly be appreciated.

We went to visit the "luxurious" Casino de Monte-Carlo in July. They really could have used this sign in the fancy woman's bathroom. A Chinese lady had squatted on the toilet bowl to use it. She left her shoeprints on the seat. You can't make these things up. An attendant was called to clean the stall. Thank you for starting this post. I got a chuckle from the many photos posted.....and a good education .

We were on Azamara June/July this year (3 b2bs) but because we had to move rooms we had to go twice to the muster drill. We moved room because there was an issue with ours that they could not fix in two days. They eventually fixed it. Anyhow in June on the Onward the muster drill was done with everyone attending at one time in the dining room or theater. On the Onward in July a few passenger sat a time in each designated muster station (dining room or theater). I have no idea why it changed but we prefer a few passengers at a time.

Thank you...good to know.
