I understand that the mini-bar in the SS are not included even if you have a premium package? Can you tell me if the fridge seen in the picture is self serve? Backround: I read that SkySuite-Bookers (can) fill their fridge with sodas coming from the retreat-lounge-fridge. But the only fridge I see (scrolling through the 360° tours) is this cooler behind the bar that does not really seem like a "go ahead serve yourself" type... Maybe we could also request unopened sodas at a bar ?

Thank you very much for the tour description and the brilliant photo, @avw, this helps a lot! I did not realize it took so long to get to venice from Chioggia

This "Motorboat coach style" excursion is specified to be 8 hours long (which is too long for us) Can anyone report back if there is the option to take an earlier (much earlier) motorboat coach back to the ship (we are thinking of 4/5 hours tops) or is it just ONE coach for the whole group? Alternatively has anyone booked a private transfer via Azamara Chioggia → Venice and can report back on the price? (we have a lot of OBC) (I have done my research and found that taxis are 120 € one way and I also read about the 10 € bus but wanted to have all the options before deciding)

great. Thank you so much!!

@uktog Thank you for your reply. Just to doublecheck: We will have OBC that "can only be used for excursions", is that OBC applicable?

Can anyone confirm that a private transfer (=taxi) arranged by the concierge can be paid with shore excursion OBC? tia

That is good to know, thanks @Grandma Cruising

Can you buy the experience more Package for SOLO passengers if you are two in a stateroom? (we only need one beverage package because dh only drinks soft drinks)

yes and: I still don't understand why they would chose this cryptic wording. the explanation given by @Scots Caz seems perfect in case of the CC Suites (where one gets 50% off or 240 minutes) but for the Owner's Suite they write 240 minutes or 100% off - that is just confusing. Does this apply to both pax in the cabin or just for one?

The Azamara-site lists the Venice ports (marittima or San Basilio) for their 2023 cruises - does this mean that the relocation to Ravenna was just for 2022 or will this be altered at a later time?

Thank you so much @Scots Caz. Now I get it.

I do not understand: who decides what package I get? It says: Suites get Complimentary Internet minutes (240 minutes or up to a 100% off the unlimited internet package) per guest If it was the guest's decision - who would chose 240 minutes and not the unlimited? There must be something I am missing here??? tia!

I cannot seem to find a picture or video of the Owner's suite on Onward. I am wondering if the decor is similar to the one on the pursuit : or to the one on journey: tia!

Thank you both for the help!

New to AZ and could not find an answer to the following question(s) I am considering booking a cruise where the experience more package is included. (Wifi, OBC, PBP) -1- Can I upgrade the included PREMIUM BEVERAGE PACKAGE to the ULTIMATE or would I need to buy a new package? -2- If I have the Ultimate package, is the minibar content included? -3- if a drink is not covered in the package, do you pay the difference or the whole price? (I know that this has been asked before but a long time ago, maybe things have changed under the new management?) tia, Sandra

Thank you bjahil, that really helps!

I have scheduled a mani-pedi with shellac. Can you ladies tell me about the quality of the manipedis on apex and if I can upgrade it for a gel / acrylic manicure once on board ?? Thank you very much!

now that some cruises have departed amsterdam, Is there any current information regarding my question?

I can see a room service menu (APEX) online: just Hamburger, Penne, Salmon, Turkey Club Sandwich - is there really no Pizza? Or is it not the whole menu? Different Question: is there a different menu for Suites?

Thank you Jim!

I am tempted to get the final payment out of my feet. Before I do so: Is there any downside I may have overlooked (as in maybe: I cannot reprice the cruise if the price drops - is that the case?) tia!

Very sorry, that your husband tested positive. Thank you for sharing your experience and for protecting the other passengers by isolating.

So (!) sorry to read this Jim, I was recently quarantined with COVID on an MSC cruise so I may know how you feel! Thank you so much for including us in your adventure - I immensely enjoy your live blogs. I hope, your symptoms stay mild/non existent and Iains too. 🤕

Can anyone answer me this: (I do not have a TA to ask) let us assume you test positive during the cruise and have to stay isolated on the ship, would you be allowed to return home (own car parked at the cruise terminal, distance 3 h tops, destination germany) to finish the isolation at home? I found this site helpful but it does not cover this specific case. tia
