I believe that you will soon receive an email with all the relevant information.

I believe that the 'one change' rule applied to onboard bookings only. Were your original bookings made on board and assigned to your TA, or did you book thorough your TA? If the latter is the case, then the t&c's have not changed.

Have you submitted the online form? Although I believe that patience is a virtue, it is often true that the squeaking wheel gets the most oil!

Fill in the form and wait. Repeat as necessary, or at will. Somehow, with only two forms submitted, I was astonished to find that my info is now correct.

Nooooooooooo! Could not agree more.

My comment was not directed at any specific individual! Your humour did not escape me, and I guess that you realise that this 'bacon' thing is petty, but please let's not expand this digression.

I have enjoyed English bacon in Windows on every Azamara cruise. We cannot get it where we live, and it is something I really miss. It is usually on the starboard side of the 'forward-most' breakfast servery, but if you don't see it, ask.

It is bizarre how one comment is picked on and takes a thread off at a petty tangent. I admit to fuelling this, but nevertheless I feel uncomfortable.

I was not slandering it! I liked the Canadian bacon. For me it was the only viable bacon on Seven Seas Voyager. Their English bacon was that vile streaky stuff. The American bacon (Applewood smoked, as I recall) was also very streaky and invariably offered in a near-cremated form, and therefore, to me, disgusting.

Yukk! And crispy - even yukkier!

No, no, no. Not streaky. Good, honest, back bacon. I cannot abide streaky. Streaky was Regent s version of English bacon. Yukkk!

I have recently returned from a 15—day cruise with Regent, and I cannot say that I found the crew, or the staff, impersonal or cold. In fact I would go almost as far as to say that you could exchange the crew/staff from 'Seven Seas Voyager' with any Azamara ship, and you've be unaware of any difference. I thought the entertainment better, and the theatre is certainly far superior. Other things that Regent did better than Azamara: embarkation process; boarding, safety drill, booze in general. Stuff that I thought wasn't as good: there was no decent English bacon (had to make do with Canadian); the showers in the standard suites are smaller than in Azamara's CC suites; and there are significantly fewer activities during the day. Equal: although the menus are more imaginative the execution was sometimes quite poor; for me the 'vibe' was every bit as good as Azamara. Having said this, I could never, ever justify paying Regent's prices. We got a last-minute irresistible bargain, which made this cruise exceptionally good value.

Thanks APD's Just to put a quantum to this... How much are the APD in the UK? And how much in Europe? Do the UK APD's apply if you fly from EU into UK and then on to, say, New York on a single ticket. How about if you fly economy on the leg into UK, and Business out from UK, thus two tickets?

If you mix your flight classes like that, would these have be ticketed separately, and therefore you have to handle your checked luggage and re-check it in at the intermediate airport?

Gulp! The process must be very difficult, or perhaps he's doing it in his spare time, or maybe insufficient resources have been allocated.

Not sure I understand what you mean by 'caught both sides on the hop'. What impact has there been on RCCL?

He's taking his time about it, then! And, in reality Azamara ought to have grasped the enormity of the task and commissioned him many months prior to December 2022!

And no-on though to take a sneaky photocopy? Come on! 🤦🤦🤦

Too rough to tender?

But, on the other hand, I don't see how a data transfer could manage to corrupt just one digit. In the way that databases work, the email address would be contained within a field in a record, and the transfer protocol is likely to be such that all the entries in that field would have been imported verbatim. Unless the ascii coding (or some such) was very different and needed 'translating', the entries in that field would/should be transferred automatically. But manually re-entering the data would be, and is, much more error-prone. But... if the data was sabotaged before transfer... And, being Machiavellian, maybe the staff have been trained to say that the information was wrong by one digit/character. Either way, it's all speculation and I doubt that we will ever know the truth.

When you say 'just handed...' do you mean you did so recently, and beyond either of the 30- or 60-day deadlines?

I can't tell from the phrasing of the information whether the OP booked the cruises in January. If so, the answer to the question posed is NO. BUT If the cruises are in January next, and were booked less than 30 days ago, the answer is YES.

I thought the transfer had to be made withing a specified period after the original booking date.

I thought the subject of this thread was the size of the showers! Bizarrely it has turned into a discussion about library and readers! Whatever. We are currently nearing Paamiut in Greenland on Regent's Seven Seas Voyager (an all-suite ship). This is our first with Regent. I can report that the showers here are small, too, but only having used a suite on Azamara, cannot compare the Azamara standard shower space with these. But, they are much smaller than the showers in Azamara's suites.

As in life, not all TA's are good. The trick is to find one that is good. Of course, this is not necessarily easy, and may be a matter of luck. In my experience, a relationship with a good TA has been extremely beneficial, and I feel totally confident that I am unlikely to face the problems that you are experiencing. With Azamara's current problems I, for one, would certainly not deal direct with Azamara.
