Sales books, yes, but not the big beautiful brochures that the cruiselines used to produce. You may be able to pick the odd one up at an agency, but even travel agents' access is limited these days.

If your next cruise is in the same cabin or same section of the ship, you are no longer required to do the safety drill again.

They, like many other cruise lines, have gone to digital brochures only.

Thank you! 6091 has the combo so I was hoping this to be the case

Is there a current link to the spreadsheet? Trying to find out if 6088 on Onward is a shower or a conbination. Thank you!

My suggestion would be to contact a travel agent, give them an ideas of what you want. Your TA can see what staterooms are available. It costs you nothing more to book with a TA than directly and then they are the one who resolve any issues that may come up, take care of your payments getting submitted, etc.

Azamara’s new platform is the same one that Explora uses, along with several other cruise lines. I’m sure that once the bugs are fixed, everyone will be able to view current availability.

That’s what TAs do! It takes at most 5 minutes. If your TA can’t find time for that you need a new TA Give the change over some time.

Very well said!!

If you don’t already have one, find a TA that works with airline consolidators. Maybe consider a different airport to fly from, like MIA. Maybe not as convenient to get to, but you may find more airline choices. We live in Tucson, and travel to LAX to fly to Europe because there’s more choice and better prices

Congratulations on reaching Discoverer! The phones are very busy for everyone right now. Since free night rates are figured off full rack rate and not sales, unless the cruise you’re looking at has low availability, think about waiting a couple more weeks, until the transition is farther along.

Do you have a payment to be made? If so that can be done online. If it’s urgent, has your TA contacted their BDM?

Not quite sure how they will resolve the numbers going forward. Our brand new booking shows a new member number. Not concerned as it will all be resolved in time

I just got an email that they are now working on those cruises up to 120 days out. Are you working with a TA? They can confirm with Azamara that everything is good even if you can’t.

only reason it wound a zoo is if those boarding make it that way. It’s going to be okay…

Working on adding a new email. It’s just going to take time

You should have no problems at all taking a tour in Athens on turnaround day. You will need to get your new room cards activated on that day, which has been between 8 and 9 am when we've done b2b's. So I would say 9 would be a safe time. I would personally want to be back no later than 4pm.

Not an issue on Azamara's part then but her consortium.

It’s very easy for her to submit your payment online! No reason to call it in!!!

Did she do the Azamara training on the new system? Has she booked azamara before? There have been no booking issues for the agents I know

I haven’t heard an end date yet. Progress seems to be happening though, at a fairly good speed. It’s a huge transition for them.

We did two tours with him in 2018. He selected very good wineries; be aware that you’ll be doing a tour at each one you go to. He took us to a wonderful local bistro for lunch, and also to a fantastic wine shop on way back to the ship, as we wanted to pick up some bottles to enjoy on the ship. We’ve booked with him again for two days in 2024 when we’ll be there on Azamara again. Here’s our tour schedule from 2018:

We have done both. We now have a wine suitcase, specifically made to keep bottles safe from breakage so we check it rather than carrying it on.

I was able to special order sushi at lunchtime on the Journey last summer. I love sushi and have always been happy with the quality.

Prices on the Quest 28 May 2024 have remained stable, with an N1 still the same as when we booked it last year
