  1. According to this thread, Azamara has been replacing the clingy plastic shower curtains with cloth curtains. But showers are still very small unless you get a suite. We last cruised on Azamara in 2019.
  2. Azamara has been eliminating casinos during drydocks. My only complaint about Azamara is the very small showers. Service is excellent and food is very good. We have never been seasick during 4 cruises. We book midship cabins on deck 7 and use bonine and ginger pills.
  3. Hold on to to those park entrance & tourist cards. One of them must be presented when leaving the park at Baltra airport. Omne person in our group put it in a checked bag and she had to pay again..
  4. Alaska Cruise West* Vantage-river cruises Grand Circle-river cruise Azamara RCCL Hurtigruten Pearl Seas American Cruise Lines Celebrity Total of nine, 6 ocean cruises
  5. On our 2015 trip, we had the 10 day package, including Quito hotel(3 nights) and Quito-Baltra rt flights. Celebrity chartered a plane..
  6. We just finished a Pearl Seas cruise, Quebec City to Portland, Maine. We were able to visit all scheduled ports. Food and service were excellent, except for chef's recommendation of duck entree, which was terrible. They brought me a lobster tail as a replacement and that was very good.
  7. We were on the Xpedition in 2015 and recommend it. Teenagers might like it if they enjoy outdoors activities. Not much entertainment on board. Food & cabins were very good.
  8. We were recently on a Grand Circle travel river cruise. They advised us that they would provide a recyclable water bottle free of charge. There were 2 heavy duty glass 32 oz bottles in our room. They were so heavy when empty that we never used them. Our of 140 pax we saw maybe 4 people using them. We used recyclable plastic bottles also free of charge like most pax.
  9. Is there an icon for online check in? Our last trip was 2019, but I believe we printed a boarding pass and luggage tags.
  10. According to NBC news, there is a Covid case on board the ship.
  11. We saw polar bears in Churchill, Manitoba. It was a land tour. Flew to Winnipeg, train to Churchill rtn by charter plane to Winnipeg.
  12. We have cruised on Azamara 4 times, RCI 3 times, and Celebrity 8 times. Azamara does have very small showers, but outstanding service. We have never cruised on HAL, RSSC , Oceania or Princess. We would consider all of them for itinerary. We have also cruised on Pearl Seas cruise line(only 1 ship-220 pax). Outstanding service and decent showers/bathrooms.
  13. For anyone who has access to Smithsonian(streaming/cable) they are showing reruns of Mighty Cruise ships, Saturday, 6 episodes, 6 cruise lines, incl Celebrity, RCI, HAL, Azamara
  14. Thanks for this info. I would also not like that.
  15. Thanks for your comparison review. We have sailed Celebrity 8 times, but never on Princess.
  16. We have never cruised on Crystal. We cruised on the Azamara Quest with Russ twice. He is a great guy.
  17. We were on 2 Azamara cruises with Russ Grieve as Cruise Director. We were impressed that he remembered us on the 2nd cruise 1 year later . He went to Crystal shortly before it declared bankruptcy. But he is back with the new Crystal. See we are happy for Russ. He is a great guy.
  18. Thanks for your review and pics. We will be doing this itinerary on the Apex in Jan. 24. We booked an IV. First time on the Apex and the IV. Last Celebrity cruise was Equinox, Oct 2016.
  19. Also glad that you are ok. DW and I have visited Vermont many times. DW is a covered bridge fan. We have visited all 104 cbs. .
  20. It didn't because airfare was not available.
  21. I stick with wine on cruises. My then 21 year old granddaughter wanted me to buy her the full drink package on 52nd RCI anniversary cruise last year. I bought everyone a drink package, under 21 non alcohol. On another note, we are getting smoke from Canada wildfires.
  22. Business class s fully paid on original booking was $4400
