Grandma Cruising

For those who don’t get Azamara emails here are screen shots of it

I guess you just have to judge that at the time - don’t cancel unless you’re sure you can rebook.

Azamara’s T & Cs for most excursions are that you can cancel & get a refund up to 48 hours before the excursion (except for some special excursions such as overnight tours). “What if I cancel my Shore Excursion?Guests enjoy the benefits of a hassle-free 48-hour cancellation period when reserving Shore Excursions. This flexible tour cancellation policy allows guests to cancel or modify tour reservations up to 48 hours prior to the scheduled tour departure without penalty. If changing or canceling a shore excursion within the appropriate non-penalty period, our valued guests will have two options: they can either contact the Shore Excursions team to reserve another tour, or if they choose to cancel, will have their onboard account credited in the full amount of the tour cost without penalty or fee.”

Thanks.

If you have the Ultimate Beverage package, can you have drinks from it served in your stateroom? We’ve booked it for the first time for our October 22 cruise.

Is it Spirits bar which is in the room called the Den? So the opening hours shown in Insider are the hours the bar is open!

I’d also say do go along to the Azamazing evening. We decided not to do so on the Norway cruise and ate in Prime C. The food was as good as ever, but overall it was a miserable experience, no-one else in there, no atmosphere. Made worse by people coming back & telling us how wonderful the singing was in Trondheim cathedral!

Got an email today from Azamara announcing that the ‘Atlas Bar Experience’ will be offered in the Den on the other 3 ships.

We had to use an ATM to get some Egyptian pounds. We needed them because we opted to see Tutekhamen’s & King SETI’s tombs. They were in addition to the three you can see with the entrance fee and had to be paid in local currency.

Reposted the post from P32 - try this

And your room steward will get you the mixers to put in your fridge.

Try this one. I found it on P32.

My guess is that the White Night will be in Dubrovnik as you’re there until 10pm, but you won’t know for definite until you get on board. Can’t see a destination celebration in the excursions.

Thanks for posting. It would be really helpful if you could you let me have a few more details for the spreadsheet. - date you got email offering the chance to bid - minimum bid allowable & was your bid weak or strong (or in between) - cruise date and area cruising Thanks.

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.
