Grandma Cruising

This is ridiculous - so presumably if you haven’t had a test you would be denied boarding!

White Night is an on-deck party. It’s usually held on a night when the ship is in port late. There is a buffet on deck with really nice food, and music & dancing. Most people try to wear something white - a T-shirt or shirt for example, but you don’t have to. It’s a really fun night. You won’t know which night it is until you get on board.

Hope things don’t get worse for you and that you get your power back on soon.

Thanks.

Thanks. Added to spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pEoojQ5-EPmD4cI3gw1dVcYfYTXfZePdDXxU09l0H3M/edit

Thanks for that. You only put two upgrade prices in your post - what was the third, was it to CC Suite?

And we’re end of October.

I presume those upgrade bid prices were per person and I think your loyalty level is Adventurer (first cruise) - just for the spreadsheet. Did you decide to bid?

Thanks for the information - added it to the spreadsheet. Can you let me know what your loyalty level is, please and also if you do decide to bid.

I got that email too, but didn’t do anything about it because I could only save about $4 in all!

Of course - forgot to count those!

I’ve just done a (roughish) count of Onward’s cabins & I make it 26 inside cabins in total and 79 Oceanview in total. On top of that there are 160 veranda, 10 veranda plus, 56 Club Continent Suites & 10 large suites. That makes 341 in total which is about right. Don’t forget that some people may have booked a ‘guarantee’ Oceanview, so if you do a ‘mock’ booking to look at vacant cabins, their cabins will still show up as empty.

Can’t remember, but I do remember that it was pretty clear to me what I was expecting to pay - £360

In the past the contact information was part of your documents.

Can’t wait for ours in under 5 weeks!

Doesn’t really matter to me as long as it tastes good!

I can’t remember. I looked at my acknowledgement from Azamara and that talks about a bid of $180 per person, but then quotes the full amount bid -$360.

As Azamara’s website says ‘No’ for Venice, I would assume that includes Ravenna on the basis that it’s where there ‘Venice’ cruises go instead of Venice.

My guess is that it’s saying if anyone with the Ultimate Package buys this wine, they pay nothing even though it’s not initially designated as being part of the package (if that makes sense)

Thanks for the information RW75. All added to the spreadsheet. Don’t forget to come back & let us know if the bid was successful. I’d also be interested to see if you are successful whether they do let you take a friend into Aqualina for breakfast & dinner!

We had it once before COVID but only with an onboard booking.

I think you’re likely to be disappointed then!

Is the Montaudan not as nice as the Nicholas Feuillatte? It seems to be at a similar price point in the UK - £21/22

Might be worth asking your neighbour if they’ve had their cough for long. I have a dry cough that I’ve had for a few years. Had X-Rays, doctor’s tried all sorts of treatments and nothing works. Apparently it’s not uncommon as you get older. I do worry that people may think I have COVID.

Like the way you give us the good news before the bad! Great to hear that Piraeus no longer require a negative test - we join the Quest there in just over 4 weeks and were trying to decide how best to organise tests. One less thing to worry about now. Just have to worry about how many Schweppes to buy!
