You cannot order included wines via room service, but you can go to a bar and carry it yourself to your stateroom.

I found one US TA site which gives you vacant staterooms in a mock booking. Cannot reveal it here.

The length of the contracts will vary, but it seems that they rotate senior officers more on different ships as well.

If South Africa is a member of WHO they have to abide by their rules for vaccinations. This is what it says about yelow fever: »The international vaccination certificate becomes valid 10 days after basic vaccination and is valid for life [18]. Previously, the validity period was 10 years, but the rules have been changed on the basis of new knowledge about the duration of the vaccine's effect [19]. The change is legally binding for all WHO member countries from 11 July 2016. No country can therefore require a refresher dose after 10 years [18]. The change has retroactive effect, and those who have an international yellow fever certificate marked with 10 years of validity can continue to use this even if the expiry date has expired.»

Then we have seen the show. Quite entertaining and very "fabulous", - just saying. Looking forward to see them again.

Is it the four girls?

Thanks. We can absolutely recommend retirement. 😁 We will do Quest in april and May and usually stay at home during summer months. Maybe we will cross paths

Hi, David. #6060 seems perfect. Btw there are no #6061 on Journey because of the positions of the accessible cabins. Dawn 60???? Never!!!🫣😄

What reason was given for cancelling that cruise?

Quest will obviously sail to Oslo in time for your departure. The drydock is either Bremerhaven or Amsterdam according to my unofficial sources.

Thanks, Phil. Feeling a bit deflated, to say the least. Azamara's offer in Option 3 to give us a full refund is gobsmackingly generous. I must be the luckiest guy here....

There are only 3 sailing for which they will honour the prorated rate and if you choose any other sailing you pay the prevailing rate. Honouring the prorated rate would include the early booking bonuses and on board booking OBC,- in my book. As I said earlier: I would have preferred some more options to maintain my original per night price and other benefits. I am not sure what is " normal" compensation for a cancelled cruise, but there must be many examples out there.???

We have had cancelation a few times. It is always bad news, but previously we have been given more options for re-booking. Wish there was a broder choice in the same period.

Yes it is a real bummer. We had refundable air and hotel so no problem for us, but I guess many people are looking at significant losses. There are no Azamara cruises that will be suitable replacements in this period and we will consider maybe re-book to Journey in 2025. Johannes will be on Quest in 2025 doing the Greenland and Canada sailings, but maybe he will do the fjords again in 2026? This was a cruise that we had waited for…

Just got this from my TA. This is devastating news. Finally we were ready for a fjord cruise with Johannes and told the rest of the family to arrange their plans to different dates. (We usually don' travel in july since the kids and gran kids comes to visit.) So,- today this message popped in: Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel the cruise that they had booked for July 26, 2024, on Azamara Quest®. This cancellation is necessary because the drydock schedule for the Azamara Quest has been adjusted, and their original travel dates now conflict with this essential maintenance work. Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may cause them, and rest assured that we are committed to making this situation right for them. We want to offer them several alternative options for their travel plans. We hope that one of these alternatives will provide them with the opportunity to enjoy another remarkable Azamara cruise experience. Below, they will find the details of the alternative options available to them: Option 1: Sail on one of Azamara's alternative sailings, Azamara Onward – July 13, 2024, Azamara Journey - June 13, 2025, or Azamara Journey - July 28, 2025. To view the itineraries, click on the corresponding date. If they select any of these sailings in the same category booked, we will honor their original, prorated or prevailing rate, whichever is lowest. In addition, they will receive an onboard credit as a token of our appreciation: $500 USD onboard credit for bookings of a Veranda category stateroom or below. $1000 USD onboard credit for bookings of any Suite category. Option 2: Select Any Other Azamara Sailing of Your Choice They have the flexibility to choose any other Azamara sailing that suits their preferences. If they opt for this choice at the prevailing rate, we will provide them with the following onboard credit: $300 USD onboard credit for bookings of a Veranda category stateroom or below. $600 USD onboard credit for bookings of any Suite category. Option 3: Cancel Their Reservation and Receive a Full Refund If none of the alternative options resonate with their plans, they may choose to cancel their reservation entirely. In this case, they will receive a full refund of their cruise fare. They will also receive a full refund on any flights, hotels and transfers that have been booked as a package through Azamara. If they’ve independently arranged bookings for flights, hotels, and transfers, Azamara will refund the specified change or cancellation fees stated below. To qualify, provide proof of receipt to Azamara Cruises by December 8, 2023. $500 USD/£400/€450/5,500 NOK per person for short haul flights. $1000 USD/ £800/ €900/11,000 NOK per person for long haul flights. We would also like to assure them that any pre/post land programs and shore excursions they may have booked with Azamara for their canceled cruise will also be fully refunded. We deeply regret any inconvenience this situation may have caused them, and we sincerely hope that they will continue to choose Azamara Cruises for their future travel adventures. We kindly request that you inform us of their decision no later than December 8, 2023. Their timely response will help us make the necessary arrangements to ensure their smooth transition to one of the alternative options or the cancellation of their reservation.

R-class ships do not have propulsion pods.

Thanks. I just thought she was on vacation since she was on Quest in August.

Most probably Johannes will be replaced by Jonas Lyddby and Ryszard will be replaced by Tatiana Morello.

Hi, David. Of course I remember. We fought hard to get that White Night and Russ did a really good job to get it organised.

We also did one. Quest, Nice to Barcelona september 26.-29. 2015.

To be serious. - haven’t seen a four night cruise for years. They always do a 5 night in may for the Monaco Grand Prix.

Forget about the kid’s shoes,- we are out of beer🤣🤣😜😜

Somebody probably smoked their socks……..

South terminal today

It happens. He had an extra long contract earlier this year from early May to end of August. His next one is February 6th to April 1st.
