Grandma Cruising

Aah, missed that!

That’s not stated in the list of suite amenities - it just says complimentary internet

That’s not what it says on the website

I got mine from my TA within a few days

If the promotion includes an essentials package, then it will be high speed.

On my last few cruises I have rarely taken any bread rolls, even in the MDR - fills me up too much (although I sometimes can’t resist a bread stick!).

The Wifi in promotions is usually the basic. I found it to be fine on my Feb/March cruise earlier this year. The self-service buffet is self-service except for the first 24 hours (I.e. until the doctor confirms there is no gastro/intestinal illness on board). If there is any such illness onboard it remains served until the doctor gives the OK for it to go back to self-service.

That will get sorted out eventually, but it took a while for our status the show properly when they went onto the new system.

We enjoy our meals in Prime C & Aqualina, but wouldn’t want to eat there every day. Firstly we really enjoy chatting to new people at dinner, either by being on a shared table talking to our neighbours if we are on a table for two. You can’t do that in the speciality restaurants. Secondly I find the quantity of food in the speciality restaurants just too much - I end up feeling really full, whereas I find the quantity in the MDR just right for me.

Do the sea Eagles rib tour from Svolvaer https://www.getyourguide.co.uk/s?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=6564952470&cq_con=106315162695&cq_term=&cq_med=&cq_plac=&cq_net=g&cq_pos=&cq_plt=gp&campaign_id=6564952470&adgroup_id=106315162695&target_id=dsa-928036991424&loc_physical_ms=1006816&match_type=&ad_id=454416137669&keyword=&ad_position=&feed_item_id=102044397585&placement=&device=t&partner_id=CD951&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADmzJCPFkwshM4rbLM0U2p66g73_E&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4LG_gdWoiAMVpZhQBh3E5irwEAAYAiAAEgLxCPD_BwE&visitor-id=M6QLW8GC6JT6RDNP937PKVIBKSWBCDYF&locale_autoredirect_optout=true&q=Raftsundet&et=330736 Also agree, do the Blue Puffin tour from Honningsvag https://www.blue-puffin.com/en/

Thanks, I’ve added that to the spreadsheet.

I had some wonderful cooked oysters in Australia near Melbourne

Same here!

Yes, the system changed entirely. I suggest you use the contact form on the website to ask them to sort this out for you.

I think you’ll like the Commodore. Just a five minute walk onto the quayside.

Not sure, tho’ uktog’s solution sounds a good one if possible.

On our most recent cruises the afternoon trivia has been in the Living Room.

I think they use Seaware by Veronix - it seems to cause problems everywhere it’s used. Azamara use it too and their system is poor!

It’s not been small bottles since the pandemic - I understand that at some point there was a supply issue with the small bottles (as with many things during that time) so they went on to a single whole bottle and it’s stayed like that way since.

Is there a zero cost excursion - if so that’s the Azamazing evening.

I understood it to be one bottle per suite, not per person.

Although it’s not mentioned in the Site Amenities list, it is shown in the website as one of the advertised benefits of the suite

In Capetown we stayed at the Commodore Hotel (next door to the Portswood Hotel. Right on the edge of the V& A district & very nice.

They do smoothies in Windows Lido for breakfast every morning. As you obviously need them at other times it would be a good idea to check Special Meals in the Special Requests section in Manage My Reservation in your online booking. Once onboard you can talk to them about your requirements.

As I understand it you can make a couple of reservations beforehand
