I'm very familiar with The Insider but we've done 2,  quite port intensive cruises and do not recall Bingo being held. My wife would not have missed a session if at all possible.😉

They may have it on our 15nt Caribbean cruise this Xmas.

Azamara has passenger Bingo......who knew???.😲

I had to cancel and rebook the same cabin (cat. V1) & lost $200 OBC/pp but still have $75pp from an agency promo. The new price was exactly 40% lower and I saved $1400cad/pp.

The promo does read "up to 40% on a wide variety of cruises" so the price can vary depending on sailing.

It's definitely worth checking out.

AZ recently posted new pricing for most sailings March 20/21-May 13/22 that offers 40% off and free WiFi.

I just had our Dec.23/21 cruise refared and saved a bundle.😊

Happy Thanksgiving to our American Neighbours!

"Way back when", I joined CC, I was using a Apple Mac and drove a Nissan Maxima...thus macmax.

In Canada & the US, the final payment date is determined by the cruise line.  Most ethical TA's will process the payment directly with the cruise line not through the agency.  TA's will usually request payment a week or so prior to that date to ensure that there are no credit card issues and the payment is confirmed.

Some cruise lines have reduced the final payment date to 60 days out but Azamara is still at 120.

By December you/we will have a much better idea on what the cruise experience should be like come March.

If you booked with the refundable deposit option you will get  a full refund.

I suggest that you wait awhile yet (like we are all doing) before pulling the plug on your cruise.

October is still in hurricane season.

Late Nov usually has great pricing.

The point is that Princess will not (usually) inform you that the FCC has been processed so you should check your Princess account often to see if/when it shows up.

Thanks so much! It will make embarkation day even better.

Now if they could just figure a way to deliver everyone's bags to their staterooms faster, it would be perfect. 

So true.🙄

Here are the FAQ's for Muster 2.0

This is a GREAT improvement especially for the larger ships out there but I think that AZ would need to improve the WiFi on their ships before this will work properly.😉

So what's wrong with some positive PR during this current situation?

E409 will be the same as E410 just on the other side of the ship.

Both have large angled balconies.

We had E410 on the Royal last Fall and 411 will be very similar but on the port side.  It's a great choice due to it's unobstructed views and large balcony.  Cabins in that area are the 1st to sell out as they are priced as obstruct views.

Oops, I should have done my own research. I read this on an earlier post by Phil.

All the Filipinos are on Spectrum to Manila and the rest of the international crew have gone to Ovation. They don't know when they'll be back home. Could be 10 days. Could be a month. They don't know.  I'm sure it was very emotional waving cheerio to Journey.

Very  nice but how did Journey's crew get on Spectrum of the Seas?

Some may not be aware that the original cast of the Love Boat are the "Godparents" of the Regal Princess.

Way to go Nieuw Amsterdam!  That song gets to me every time.😭

I've been following the Zaandam saga since Chile and especially since the Rotterdam came to her aid and stayed with her all the way into Port Everglades yesterday.

Good on ya HAL!!!!!

She's getting closer to home.
