Per your comment on running out of diet tonic and other mentions in this forum, I don't understand how they run out of so many things? I understand that during Covid there were supply issues, but hasn't this been resolved? I certainly hope that things improve by May when we travel.

Do they tell you when you inquire about the beverage package on board what is available and what is not available, or do you just have to hope?

No champagne?!? 😞

The bottom ones?

There typically is a dinner reservation desk located in the Atrium (Living Room) near guest services or you can go to Guest Services or to Manfredi's to get a dinner reservation. For tastings etc talk to Guest Services and ask them if there are any wine tastings or anything else you are interested in.

We must have drunk all of it in our world cruise this past year. Sorry! Hope they buy more before my next Viking Cruise. Was only in Torshavn by the way.

No Woodford Reserve?

If I was Azamara, I would put in a chat feature. It is so much easier on them and on the customer. Agents can chat simultaneously with several customers and it would cut down on telephone hold times I would think. I hope they do that some day!

Well written. Enjoy your trip and cruise!

I think there are enough things to buy with my OBC on board other than Excursions which are bought and paid for. Beverage Package, Speciatly Dining, Chefs Table, Wine bottle packages, etc. I tend to overthink things too much :). Happy to have the extra $500 bonus and need to change my thinking to it being a bonus.

Good points. I have not sailed with Azamara yet. We are looking forward to doing so. I have $500 in OBC that I could use for excursions now but I purchased all my excursions before I got the extra OBC on their Black Friday sale. I could cancel the excursions I purchased and then repurchase them with OBC to use up the OBC which may be what I do but would hate to cancel them and then see that they are sold out. If I hold onto the OBC I will probably use it for the Ultimate Beverage Package on board. I am sure others have pondered the same.

We probably will wait until onboard to check what is available before we purchase a beverage package. Can we use our OBC onboard to do so? I assume yes because it is OBC but things seem to defy logic sometimes.

I’m just hoping for some good Champagne!

Same here. I really am impressed by their customer service other than long hold times.

What are some of the wines you were able to get?

Thank you! Have a great cruise and sleep! Cheers!

Typically no. Small charge for wine tastings.

Does anyone have queen size bed dimensions (width x length)? We were wondering if their definition of queen is the same as ours?

What has been your experience with CruiseCare? Or should I buy travel insurance on my own?

Thanks @uktog. We will probably have all of them before we go anyway. We have a cruise in May and have started booking shore excursions. In your experience, do shore excursions book up quickly?

I understand from reading this and other forums that Azamara does not have an onboard app. How do you keep track of things and purchase shore excursions etc while on board? Go to Guest Services? Most cruise lines have an app at this point.

Question on Veranda Plus: can you replace the included bottles of liquors with bottles of wine? Also, what liquors can you choose from?

Do you just go ahead and book excursions and cancel if you find out there is a conflict?

Newbie question. How can you find out what night White Night is so that you do not book an excursion that same night?

Back home from the Encore (Alaska 7 day). We really enjoyed the premium plus beverage package (PPBP)! Had many Veuve Clicqot glasses of champagne and enjoyed nice bottles of wine (favorite was Silverado Cabernet) for dinner. For us it was really worth it!
