i am one of those guests who booked this cruise only for the world cup experience. my wife is not pleased that i have shelled out £5000 to do this cruise. i have tickets for the world cup. 3 games over 2 days. the problem is its over 400 miles from abu dhabi to doha. a long journey, twice. as they will not put me up in a hotel. and the first game is a 1pm kick off. i'm fuming. its my 60th birthday treat. i do not want to go now and it doesnt help people saying so what. if you order steak dont be pleased when they bring pizza. i only got my hayya card approved yesterday after weeks of trying. not a good start to our 1st azamara cruise. i feel like i have been mis-sold.

thanks suewheldon for the reply. today i have had good news. i managed to log in to my FIFA. account and after an hour's wait i was able to purchase 3 individual tickets for England,USA and France games.so if anybody on this cruise is also going to the football i would be up for a group trip.

is anyone on here on this cruise from Dubai thinking of attending any world cup games. i am booked on it but i have failed in my attempt to get tickets. there is a last chance option coming through fifa. but they havent said when. the cut off date to cancel and lose just the deposit is approaching. i am still looking forward to the itinery and some winter sun but missing the world cup whilst its in Doha for 3 nights will be a massive disappointment.if i do get some tickets is anyone willing to meet up and travel to the games.

Hi, a few years back we got off the MSC seaside in San Juan and to my delight there is a cigar shop in the middle of town. The Drew Estate shop was packed with all types of cigars. my favourite being the Drew Estates very own brand KubaKuba Acid .i'm from England so had no bother bringing them back.if you want a smoke while your there then this should satisfy your craving for a Cuban.
