That latest email sure makes it sound like Quest was in Monaco for the Grand Prix last week. 

 

In fact, Quest was nowhere near Monaco last week. 

 

Maybe the way it was written, meaning questionable grammar. Or really bad information. 

Pursuit and Journey were in Monaco for the Grand Prix.

The other difference is that on Onward there are more suites. As suites get complimentary access to Prime C and Aqualina it can be harder to get reservations for the time you want if you are not in a suite.

In October last year there was a shuttle from the port to the train station which was a 10 minute walk to the centre.

I have a final payment due soon - sometimes I can get to that screen on the website - has anyone paid thru the website? problems or no problems? Thanks!

Could not pay through website but was able to make final payment by phone today. I got through within 30 seconds and was even able to apply an FCC towards payment. 

Didnt get the post cruise survey for the past two cruises (the latest of which was in March 2023).

My apologies for posting false information.  I should have known better as I saw a long time ago a video of 6091 showing the combination.  I just forgot.  Belfastman, I note in a prior comment that you stayed on deck 8 Owner's Suite.  Do you know if 8067 has the combo?  I hope not.  Thanks.

8067 has the big shower and no bath.

I believe 6088 has a full shower and no bath.

I tried to upload documents and a photo too, but couldn’t get it to work. Don’t worry about it, they will check your documents at check in just before embarkation

On our recent cruise the police required us to produce our boarding pass before allowing us on to the pier. Not sure what would have happened if we didn't have it.

Ship  - Pursuit

Cabin No:  6033

Year:  March 2023

Standard Balcony Cabin  Outside, restricted view

Noise issue - Yes, however, it did not bother us

Would choose this cabin again YES

 

This is one of the restricted views, outside cabins, Y Guarantee. It's by no means an ideal cabin. The set-up is rather quirky and not very practical, with only one chair to sit on. It's quite small.

6033, does have a very small lifeboat in front of the window, which didn't bother us. Right next to the elevators, so there was late-night noise of party people going back to their cabins.

Ships motion/Engine noise/Vibration etc cabin is ideal.

Considering its obvious cons, this cabin can be excellent value for money for the overall excellent Azamara product

I think 6033 is an oceanview cabin not a balcony cabin.

Onward had Twinings tea and Bigelow tea in March. Bigelow appeared to replace Twinings about half way through the cruise.

Hi, very strange! Are you logging in on Azamara.com or Azamara.co.uk? I've reset my password on both and having problems 

Azamara.com my login defaults to that and prices etc are in £.

Hi, if I try to log in on Azamara.com, it shows no upcoming cruises, however our cruise isn't until March next year so maybe I shouldn't be worrying too much but really wanted to get a few excursions booked. I can log in on my account on Azamara.co.uk and it does show my cruise booking but I can't see excursions! Not sure what is going on as I haven't had a problem until now. I wonder if its to do with the website update. Will call Azamara if still a problem in a few days. I hope your cruise check I  goes as well as can be expected!

Logged in today on the new site> I had to reset my password then straight in to my account. All points present and correct all upcoming cruises including one in April 2024 there with correct information, Don't see any problems.

PS: one other item of interest from the zoom meeting was that, eventually all the ships will have the library’s converted to the Atlas Bar. It has been very successful.

That's very good news as it is our favorite place onboard Onward. We had heard before that this was going to happen.

Having spoken to people onboard it’s the reverse, Versonix Seaware is a respected IT company that has experience with a large number of cruise lines however having been promised a clean data package from RC what has been provided is anything but. Apparently RC’s system is decades behind and a lot of the data is corrupt meaning Azamara has to manually update the information. If anyone is incompetent it’s Royal Caribbean for providing poor quality unusable data. 
Good news is Azamara’s back office operating system is working fine has been running for over a year now and we’ve no problems onboard certainly not gone hungry or thirsty, for those boarding soon don’t worry online check in is unnecessary and won’t cause any problems. Just turn up at the times Azamara has indicated and enjoy the onboard experience.

 

Problem is if you can't checking online you don't actually get a boarding time as it is part of the checking process.

I saw a cruise priced at £-1 yesterday. Good value!

I assume you booked it at such a good price.

It states on the new website that complimentary drinks are not delivered to the stateroom. Maybe its an error on the website?

I noticed that there are no prices listed for the upgraded drinks packages on the new website however there are prices for the various experience more packages. Maybe a price increase for the drinks is coming? 

Complimentary drinks are not included with room service. 😒 

In October on Onward we had no problem getting drinks delivered to our suite at any time. We were on the ultimate package.

Do you remember, if boarding started at 14 o clock?

Yes we boarded in Lisbon last year and it did start at 14.00 although there were many people there before that.

Bridge is on deck 8!!

Read a social media post of a potential Ultimate Sale (all three OLife Choices) for 2023 sailings.  Anyone aware that such a sale might be in the works?  Of course would  presumably be sometime after the 20th Anniversary Sale ending on the 28th. 

In the UK the O-life Ulimate sale starts on 1st MArch but can be accessed through various TA now.

My TA sent an email yesterday, it's already started in the UK! 😉

Yes I got the email from the TA also - it stated that this was a preview and the offer began generally on 1st MArch.

Can anyone confirm that the Ultimate O-Life sale is appearing soon? I found it on a reliable site (24 itineraries) while browsing, but would like confirmation before getting hopes up.

In the Uk the O-life Ulitmate sale starts on 1st March. There are a lot of itineraries in the preview I saw.
