On Quest there will be change of CD in November. Amanda on vacation and Stephen coming over from Journey. Seems like rotation is the new normal now…..

Presently on Quest

Current wines by the glass in the Ultimate Package on Azamara Quest.

We have never had any problem with the shower size. It is what it is. and , by the way, I only use the shower when I shower.

You are correct. Transatlantic sailings does not have Azamazing Evenings.

That sounds just great, Phil. We are looking forward to making our own assessment in a few weeks, but I expect it to be as good as the last few times. There will be some changes in people on board, but I know they will be just as good. Sorry we will miss Darren. 😁

We were not able to book excursions using OBC. My agent tried to excecute the payment, but could not access the system. My TA then got a message from Azamara that I had to call in and make the payment by phone. A bit reluctant I sat down and dialled Azamara’s number and got thru in an instant. Managed to sort out the payment using credit card and got confirmation on the OBC amount that we had in the booking.

Read it again and to be fair the poster was saying "rotate at the end of 2024". I hope not, but you never know....

I read it and read it twice. Interpretation might be that the poster misunderstood the captain and that the original intent was just to explain that captains rotate. Not necessarily from ship to ship. Captains all have their schedules worked out thru 2024 as far as I know.

HQ in charge of the weather?? Nice to have a direct line, but I never called him HQ.😉

A gallon, I take it🤣🤣

That might be a factor. We booked in May and I suspect the cruise was not very full at that time, but some very nice promotions were set up and it filled very quickly. Probably better flight prices in august than in july, at least for Scandinavia, as the schools starts around august 20th.

Have a great cruise, Phil. You are lucky. Our ship in a month is full. We are starting in IST, so will probably have some "sea days" in the beginning. Big hugs to all the great crew.

We are not able to see any promotion prices in the period stated. No difference if logged in or not.

I didn't notice this until today. Thanks for a fantastic thread about cruising the great Lakes. We nearly got tempted :-)

Thanks for posting this. Very nice to watch.

I still have my nine digit number and loyalty account states the points I had before march 2023. I was able to get into my profile and clicked on "Base Points" and behold there was my missed points from my last cruise in march,- classified as RES STORED and probably getting added to my total sometime in the near future.

Would you lose much if you just cancelled and made a new booking? I would have thought your TA would have suggested this....

Phil, that is probably right. My experience on our TA from Rio to Lisbon on the Pursuit was that coverage became more intermittent mid-cruise. This is probably because when you are in the middle of the ocean you don't have the land based augmentation to support you. All in all we had great coverage and strong signals, but then it would be completely gone for 30 minutes. No big deal.😁

I might be wrong,- please correct me,- but I think Quest has not installed Starlink yet.

EXMO was the early booking bonus, i.e Experience More Package

Ship - Pursuit Cabin No: 7104 Year: March 2023 Standard Balcony Cabin Noise issue -No Would choose this cabin again-YES

We walked into the city and observed that both the other ships had shuttles. When we asked Azamara crew why they had no shuttles they said it was becsuse it was walking distance to town and no need for it. The walk was about 1,5 km and obviously it would be natutral to have shuttles. It didn't bother us, but if this prevented people from getting ashore it is a bad move from Azamara.

We are having White Night in Mindelo, too. Equator tomorrow.
