The idea seems sad.part of the reason is to meet people.

 

We plan to do the Chef’s Table Tour…all three nights. With sitting at small tables we will probably be talking with the people  nearby, just as before. I think it can be fun. Give it a try for a night ( I think we’re on the same cruise) and we will talk to you! Cheers 

I’m waiting 90 days from when we cancelled to see if and/or what they have refunded. Hopefully they will honor the cancellation policy that we cancelled under and we won’t have to fight for it. 

richwmn ...  but who wants to fly into the middle of it if they aren’t allowing those folks onboard. I think they did this so they won’t have to change so many flights once they figure out where our cruise will go.  

We are thinking we may cancel and take the loss on our May cruise from Venice. We don’t want to be quarantined either on the ship or when we come home. Even if they change the itinerary if they don’t have Corona under control. I think HAL will look out for all of us and theirselves. 

We’re on this cruise too. Now waiting to see what HAL will do. Bet they will wait and see where else Corona shows up before changing our itinerary. Not sure if I want to go now. 😢

They use the knuckle bump on Azamara.  Thought it was strange then realized it was for health reasons. 😉

We were lucky enough to have a suite on our first Azamara cruise. It’s worth it for a few reasons..the cabin and veranda are much bigger than a veranda cabin, the bathroom is a nice size with a full shower, specialty restaurants are very good, internet service is included, the butler brings “tea” daily if you wish and will help with any issues you have. (We wanted more towels and they appeared.)  
We thought the suite was so sweet that we upgraded our next cruise while onboard to a suite. 
Enjoy! 

Booked our flights with Flight Ease the other day and just checked our booking. They ran our first and middle names together with no spaces or capital on the middle. Do you think this will be a problem at the airport?  We may need to deal with it...then it’s not so easy.
Has this happened to anyone else and was it a problem?  
TIA

If you are in a suite, do they give preference to specialty restaurant dining times?  Should we book as soon as we board?  
TIA

Cadcruiser...we are on this cruise too but didn’t get that email. Thanks for sharing...I may not have brought my whites! 

I find that those looking for private excursions use the roll call more. It may be too far out on your cruise to book any. Some cruise lines are very active on CC, and others not. 

We are on that cruise too...seeing what it’s like. Looking forward to experiencing Azamara.  
 

Thanks ...  we’ve booked our hotel ourselves getting the room that we prefer. 
Smooth Sailing! 

Is there any advantage booking our hotel through Azamara?  We are thinking of booking a pre-cruise hotel but not sure how. When I look up hotels there is no place to book, and no code to use on the hotel’s site. Any advice is appreciated. 

Smooth Sailings!

Maybe a bit selfish but would be disappointed if our overnight in Venice was moved to the mainland. We were there in 2016 when small boats blocked us in and delayed our departure for about two hours.  

The cabin we were in (172) had a power strip that the tv was plugged into leaving a few outlets for us to use.  There was also an outlet for their hairdryer. I didn’t see any outlets in the bathroom that I can remember. Enjoy your cruise! 

Once again, thanks Jacqui! 

Hi Jacqui,

Hope all is well. Still talking about our cruise on the Prinsendsm. We booked a cruise while on board... 

Zuiderdam..Mediterranean Empires May15,2020

Please add us to the list.

It’s best to make arrangements beforehand. In April with only a few ships in port, it was difficult for some. They hadn’t arranged with the hotel shuttle and it was full! Tried to get a cab, but saw them walking pulling their suitcases to the port. It was a long walk!  

The rain has stopped in Civitavecchia, and hopefully the seas will calm down this evening. Found a local (Italian) wine at a great price to bring aboard for our wine tasting. This is such a nice port town for those that are spending the day here. Lots of little shops and places to eat. Can’t wait until tomorrow!  

Smooth Sailing! 

Thanks for the wonderful posts about Lisbon!  Can’t wait for our stop there. One day isn't going to be enough; it’s someplace that we will have to go back to.  

Can’t wait to catch up with you and our other CC friends. Until then ... (only 13 days!). 

Smooth sailings ...

This has/is a wonderful roll call thanks to everyone. Can’t wait to join the journey on the 24. Until then, safe travels and smooth sailing to all on the Prinsendam. 

Too much said about this. When I looked at my express documents emailed on March 12, I didn’t notice the change in itinerary until I began to check in the other day. It did show the the change in itinerary but the map wasn’t changed. I didn’t pay attention to it until now. So HAL did know of this change before March 12 but chose not to make a big deal about it and didn’t notify us. 

Please....enough said. It is what it is. Please don’t jump on OP. She is only trying to be helpful. 

Safe travels!  Can’t wait to catch up to you on the 24th. Looking forward to cruising on this wonderful ship and meeting Cruise Critic friends. 

Smooth sailings!

That's an automatic given, not yet, because those folks do not have an active onboard account yet, but it will happen. I'm referring to the reimbursement

We booked a ship tour in Le Palais and have not been told yet that the port has been changed. They will credit our account with a refundable onboard credit ( if we don’t use it we get it back.) 

We were looking forward to this island. Been to Guernsey already. 

Cheers
