My apologies for not being proficient in using the Cruise Critic search function, but does HAL heat the Lido pool for use in colder climates? We are about to embark on a Norway voyage on NS and were hoping to be able to do some water exercises. Thank you!

Does anyone happen to know who the Maitre ‘D is at Rudi’s on Nieuw Statendam currently? Thank you.

How deep is the T-Pool on Kdam?

I would also recommend downloading your airline’s app to your phone. I find it facilitates staying on top of your flight’s administration.

“Masks had to be worn at every point of the excursion. Sunglasses kept steaming up as a result. There may be some gadgets you can buy to help.”
A simple and inexpensive, yet effective, hack for fogging glasses seems to be the placement of a folded tissue underneath your mask.
I, too, second all of the comments expressing appreciation for your “live from” postings, allowing all of us the privilege of cruising vicariously with you. Much appreciated, and safe travels!

Just received the email notifying me that Nils Lindstad, Azamara's Vice President of Sales and Trade Support, will be leaving at the end of the month to "spend more time with his family." Another senior management departure, no doubt due in part to the ownership change, only adds to the speculation as to what to expect from both the ship side and shoreside experience of the newly independent Azamara. I will be watching with great interest the experience of the first Azamara cruisers later this year.

Received this morning from Nils Lindstad, AVP, Sales and Trade Support:
“We hope that you have remained healthy and safe during this global pandemic. As the world continues to confront the many challenges resulting from COVID-19, we continue to diligently work with international government and health authorities on the most effective return to service plan.
As a result, Azamara will be extending the suspension of global operations for all sailings departing on-or-before October 31, 2020, as well as the Azamara Quest sailings on November 4 and 14, 2020.“

Phil, just a follow up on snowglobe’s post. No implication intended that Azamara has or had any involvement.

So our favorite Captain just posted on Facebook a link to the press release announcing the float out of the new Viking Venus with the comment “and they need experienced officers...” One of the responding posters inquired if that’s his new ship, to which he replied “ you never know...”
Hmmmm, may need to try Viking in the future....

Really sorry to hear this. Speaks volumes about priorities..
If true, it does seem a bit short-sighted and hypocritical, especially considering the recent rebranding of the “loyalty” program.

Funny you mention RCL and not Azamara. I paid Azamara not RCL. I paid Azamara for a premium experience and am stuck with RCL in the end. If her loyalty is to RCL then that explains everything. Is there anyone left at Azamara?
Please allow me to clarify. RCL is the ticker symbol representing the parent company, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd., encompassing all of their brands, including Azamara.

I think it’s time to give Bonnie a break here. She is employed by RCL so that’s where her loyalty should be directed. RCL had no obligation to create a paid position to be represented on this forum, but they did. It was a marketing move that they deemed worthwhile and, for the most part, it has provided an opportunity for forum participants to have a line of communication with the company. You’re not going to please all of the people all of the time, but at least she’s been a dignified presence on this board for the past few years.

Azamara’s Pimentel sells $1.9m in RCL stock
From Feb 7, Seatrade Cruise News
Perhaps, at 69, he’s concerned he won’t be able to get a Fit to Travel letter!
Interesting that it represented almost half of his entire holding. Sold near the top of the market, no less. Nice move, Larry! At first glance, either he knew something that the public did not, or he had been positioning his exit strategy for a few months.
-
With RCL stock plummeting from a 52-week high of $135/share to today’s close under $36/share, maybe he’s abandoning ship with what little value he has left in his (likely significant) stock options, before (in his possible estimation) it gets any worse.

Has anyone had any experience in trying to obtain the B2B discount after final payment date, such as getting it in the form of OBC?

How many of you remember that MC is the former home of Perry Grant, whom we miss dearly, and who played to standing room only crowds every evening on the Connie?

In other words, what I am saying is that it wasn’t what we ordered from the sommelier that impacted his service for us, but perhaps, rather the manner in which we made our requests that caused him to be so responsive to our requests.
MJS, this observation could be interpreted as a less than favorable reflection of the OP’s approach towards the sommelier, which would not be fair as you weren’t there to observe the interaction between the two.

One wonders how Miami missed this during their due diligence process before making such a significant commitment to them and Azamara passengers.

Where might I find a photo of the room service breakfast menu? Thank you.
