Grandma Cruising

No app. There was one for Pursuit only but it’s not used. You can find the Voyage Planner on Azamara’s website. Go to My Account at the top right of the opening page. If you haven’t already created an account, then you need to do so using your DOB, email address and a security question and answer. Once created if your cruise isn’t showing you can add it using the cruise reference number. If you already have an account, log in and look for your cruise, then click on Plan My Voyage.

It’s for those in the Club World and Club Owners suites.

Thanks Uktog for this interesting report of your Norway cruise and the lovely photos. Overall it looks like you had generally better weather than we did on the Journey Norway/North Cape cruise in 2019. We had snow in Flam! Also very re-assuring that Azamara is just as good as ever!

If you ask for, for example, a gin and tonic, they will do it with the included gin unless you ask for a different one. If you want a cocktail, ask for it be be made using the included spirits. Ask them which wines are included.

Thanks

We always book as soon as we get onboard, and they always know when White Nights are so you can avoid them.

Always managed to get my suitcases under the bed in Oceanview & veranda cabins.

Thanks for this - just to check was that minimum bid per person or per stateroom ?

That’s my understanding too.

My guess is that the Best of the Best refers to the food & occasion, not the guests.

Congratulations on your successful upgrade bid, thanks for posting information about it - I’ve added it to the spreadsheet.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pEoojQ5-EPmD4cI3gw1dVcYfYTXfZePdDXxU09l0H3M/edit It would be helpful if you could give me another couple of bits of information - what’s your Azamara Circle level, can you remember when they emailed you to offer the opportunity to bid and can you remember what the minimum bid was? Don’t worry if you can’t - it’s all helpful.

Depends on the time of day & where your hotel is. I’d say between 30 & 45 minutes from the centre of Athens.

We’ve not had any problems in Athens, but haven’ flown there since 2018. We’ve always taken a taxi from the taxi rank at the airport. €45 is not bad, I did a quick search online & came up with €38-€45.

I think the 5 months is the recommended time between the original second vaccination and the booster. In the FAQs it says that if you are eligible for a booster you must have had one. I take that to mean that if your original second vaccination is over 5 months ago, you must have had a booster.

It’s likely to be listed on the shore excursions for the cruise, look for the one with $0 charge.

The cocktail menu quotes non included spirits. You should be able to ask for a martini made with the included spirits.

Yes according to Beamafar on the Topic ‘Photos of Wine & Champagne …”

To appreciate the Maldives you either need to stay on an island with a good house reef, or do a very very small boat trip like on the Yasawa Princess.

Have you tried other browsers like Chrome?

You ask for a list of what’s available at the bar or dining table.

That’s great to hear. That’s how we felt on our first Azamara cruise & is why we keep coming back.

Uktog put a useful tip in the ‘Anyone on Board’ topic. “One useful change I’ve noticed on Quest. There’s a QR code on each days Insider that takes you to the Main Dining Room menu. So it’s easy to make dining plans a little earlier- no waiting for the menu to be put up mid afternoon.”

I used a credit card as I wanted to save my OBC & add it to that from the package as I am booking a lot of ships excursions on my cruise.

We used a company called Your Egypt Tours to do a 2 day overnight excursion from Safaga to Luxor & the Valley of the Kings & they were wonderful, and much cheaper than the ships overnight tour.

I may well be wrong, but my understanding has always been that you can’t buy dining packages until you’re onboard. I know that you can buy the Experience More packages ahead as I have already done so for my October 22 cruise.
