    Quest : Heading to Colombo?

    in Azamara

    Posted

    All India ports now cancelled. Azamazing Evening, which had been rescheduled for Cochin, is now cancelled. Heading for Muscat in Oman, then Abu Dhabi, then Dubai, but who know how many more changes may be coming. Captain is doing all he can to deal with a very fluid situation.

    I've heard from friends currently onboard that the Quest will be permitted to refuel there but no one onboard will be granted entry.  Very frusting for those onboard when your last stop was somewhere not affected by the virus and having spent weeks in South Africa also not affected.  I feel for them....

    On the Quest. Confirming this report. We will get an extra day in Mumbai. Azamazing Evening will have to be rescheduled.

    “Buffet” now offered in the Discoveries (MDR)

    Well CCers...they only sure thing in life is CHANGE right!! 🙂 🙂

     

    So today in the MDR for breakfast there was the 1) cold buffet items table and 2) the rolls/muffins etc table. But NO hot buffet item table! I went around the corner to check out what was there and viola’...it was gone!! I asked and was told that the “boss” decided that the food was getting cold and discontinued the ‘hot” table.

     

    So...for now...you can get your cold items via the buffet and your pastries...but all hot items are again only available from your server. And you can also order your cold items from your server if you so choose. So that’s the “latest” on the Journey!!! 🙂

    Well that is good news. Color me one who was not pleased with the idea that the MDR breakfast was going to be less formal. Does anyone know if this whole idea extends to Quest?

    New vegan menu questions

     And one more thing, and apologies if this is not the best thread for this question, but is there an everyday menu with basics available such as a chicken breast or a salmon filet?

    Aren't these items on the "Always Available" portion of the regular dining room menu?

    Included wines.

    I have been looking for what is actually available without buying a package.   Thank you for this . I can not find it anywhere. 

    I do hope you don't think you get everything listed without buying some sort of upgrade.

    Sign-In Issues

    in Azamara

    Posted

    Anyone else having trouble signing into your account? I'm trying to see if there are new excursions offered, but when I try to sign in I get the following message: "We've got your info. However, we're unable to bring up your account right now, so please try again later." Both yesterday and today, same problem.
     

    Azamara vs Oceania

    Well, I'm glad to hear that...even if you are "shouting" when you say it! It was certainly not our experience on Marina but it was several years ago, so things may have changed for the better.

     

    Despite constantly asking for a table for two in the specialities we were always told there were none available and we were led to a table for eight. On one occasion in Red Ginger there were noticeably several vacant tables for two but we were told these were all "booked". It was only when my partner realised that a "little gift" to the Maitre D would perhaps miraculously help in our quest that we actually did get a table for two at the Jacques Pepin restaurant. I really did not like this. The bribe I mean, not the restaurant! 

    We never seemed to have any difficulty in getting a table for two in the MDR. 

     

    This was most definitely our experience on Marina and it is one reason I was put off sailing with Oceania. There were other reasons too. 

     

     

    Unless you are in a suite, you cannot get a table for 2 at any of the Oceania specialty restaurants. The order in which passengers are able to book them, based on stateroom category, prevents it. Another of the numerous reasons we will never sail with them again.

    Beware AZ shore excursions that are not as advertised

    Sending an email to a host would not help. Although I look after the Azamara boards, I have no special route to Azamara. My obligations are to CC not Azamara.

    I’m happy to publish my CC email address. It’s hostgrandmacruising@cruisecritic.com. As far as I’m aware the CC email addresses of all hosts follow the same format.

    What if OP sends his contact information to you. At the same time Bonnie could e-mail you asking for that information. Then you can connect the 2.

    I respectfully disagree. You asked me for help and I did as you requested and shared your significant concerns with our senior management. I was then asked to find out how to reach you.   

    Subsequently I have asked you twice on this thread for your booking number to enable our personnel to research what you booked and what you received, then have a senior manager call you.

    You have chosen not to respond to me. Thus I am no longer your best option for resolution. 

    Here is our Customer Service contact information: https://www.azamara.com/contact-us

    Surely there is a solution to what has become a very uncomfortable stalemate. I note that some Hosts, e.g., Jazzbeau, have a cruise critic e-mail included in their signature. I know Grandma Cruising does not. But perhaps someone associated with Azamara could post an e-mail address on this thread to which OP could then send his contact information?

    Experience More Packages

    in Azamara

    Posted

    We have a 26 day cruise coming up, so the Experience More packages may be a good deal for us. In weighing pluses and minuses, we are Explorer level, so we get 1 bag of laundry per 7 night voyage. Am I correct that on a 26 day cruise we would get 3 bags? And do we lose them if we buy the Indulgence package, which includes 2 bags, or are they additive so we get 5 bags?

    White Night question

    For White Night, go EARLY.  Especially if you want to sit with friends, the chairs fill up really fast.  Most people love White Night, but we’re not fans.  We now make that a night to eat in Aqualina or Prime C.

    A strong second to this posting. We tend to eat late, and we can never find anywhere to sit. All tables are already filled; or if all chairs aren't occupied, the people at the table have "spread out" a bit and they are so far along with their meal that we feel uncomfortable joining them. White Night for us is just an evening to spend quietly at one of the other restaurants.
