nanacruiser Posted May 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Another survey, and this company still does not get it right. Question 18 asks to list what we like. I entered 5 things, they red flagged it as you must select at least one item. They meant it, only one item can be selected. Who creates these surveys???? Monkeys??

cpkcruiser Posted May 21, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I had the same problem with question 18, but my problems started earlier. One of the first questions asked if I had experienced the new entertainment program yet. Even though my answer was no, the next question asked if I was satisfied with the program.

Baynanno1 Posted May 21, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 21, 2018 What survey?? Only sent to some?? Or to one part of the world?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgg Posted May 21, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 21, 2018 My husband got the same survey. Here's the cover letter: Dear John, On your last trip with Azamara Club Cruises®, you experienced some of our premium entertainment options. Now, we want your thoughts. Please take a few minutes to answer some questions about our entertainment so that we can work to better serve your needs. John wondered what a "premium entertainment option" was, and started the survey. After he answered the first question (country of residence) he got to question #2: 2. Cruising Experience Sailed within the past 3 years with Azamara Sailed within the past 5+ years with Azamara Have never sailed with Azamara Have never been on a cruise John began to question what list Azamara was using. The last email he got from Azamara suggested that it might be a good time to book his first Azamara cruise. We've taken 16 or 17 Azamara cruises ( 2, 3, or even 4 in a year). He got to a question about how satisfied he was with the new entertainment format. There was no place to answer that the question didn't apply because he hadn't experienced the new entertainment format. At this point he decided that the survey was so poorly designed that it wasn't worth his time. We're booked on the Journey in December after cruises on Oceania, Celebrity, Seabourn, and Regent. We hope the shipboard experience is better than the survey.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baynanno1 Posted May 21, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Thanks for that. If it is totally a dot point survey, it is useless. To be of any real use, any decent survey needs spaces for an individual's input rather than just ticking boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissaghoti Posted May 21, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 21, 2018 To be of any real use, any decent survey needs spaces for an individual's input rather than just ticking boxes. It does have several spaces for input, but is still flawed. I indicated that I hadn't experienced the new entertainment and was still asked a few questions later to rate it. I did, based on what I've seen here, then mentioned what I was basing my opinion on in one of the narrative spaces. I don't know if or when the survey might lead to some changes, but I'm happy to know that Azamara seems aware that the 'updated' entertainment offerings aren't a hit with everyone.

The company conducting the survey is probably ‘Survey Monkey’! In their previous survey, some 3 months ago, similar comments about who received the survey, how difficult it was to complete and submit were made.

Melissaghoti Posted May 21, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 21, 2018 It is 'Survey Monkey.' The first question asked if I was in the U.S, U.K, Canada or Australia -- if I remember correctly. I'm curious about how the answers will differ by region. This one was easy to do on my iPad, but not sophisticated enough to default to appropriate follow-up questions based on the answers entered.

nonrev1 Posted May 21, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I received the survey and agree that it is flawed. But, at least we know that Azamara in Miami is now recognizing there is a problem. Hopefully they Isten. I will be sailing again with Azamara in August. Maybe there will be some fine tuning by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the first questions asked if I had experienced the new entertainment program yet. Even though my answer was no, the next question asked if I was satisfied with the program. Same for me. That no answer should have bypassed most of the questions or ended the survey. I quit after 10 or so questions because the choices were not applicable to me. Glad I didn't have these "designers" on my web application team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBMacLaird Posted May 22, 2018 #12 Share Posted May 22, 2018 For those of you who did not receive the entertainment survey email, and especially for those of you who HAVE experienced our new onboard entertainment, below is a link to the survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/AzamaraEntertainment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellbon Posted May 22, 2018 #13 Share Posted May 22, 2018 TGG Any ship is better than Regent, so bored at night, the shows were good but the rest if the evening was boring. Crystal has three different bars before and after dinner for music. I was lucky if two had music at the same Time, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo_On_Geo Posted May 22, 2018 #14 Share Posted May 22, 2018 For those of you who did not receive the entertainment survey email, and especially for those of you who HAVE experienced our new onboard entertainment, below is a link to the survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/AzamaraEntertainment THANKS I didn't understand the separate questions about current vs new entertainment? The current entertainment is the new entertainment. Should the question have been about the old entertainment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted May 22, 2018 #15 Share Posted May 22, 2018 THANKSI didn't understand the separate questions about current vs new entertainment? The current entertainment is the new entertainment. Should the question have been about the old entertainment? I realised that too late and as a result my first few answers will have totally misrepresented what I thought of the old entertainment and there will be inconsistency with later answers if pairing analysis is completed. Why oh why oh why do Azamara not get customers to test their surveys for them before they launch them. In house testing by techies is not enough.

Grandma Cruising Posted May 22, 2018 #16 Share Posted May 22, 2018 That must have been the most badly designed survey I have ever completed. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baynanno1 Posted May 22, 2018 #17 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Bonnie : Thanks for posting the link. Host Grandma Cruising : I agree it is on a par with many I have completed. One of the most frustrating things apart from those already mentioned was the inability to see and re-read what I had written in the various boxes . . . wondering whether all that will be seen by the analysts will be the last few words, which on their own will make little if any sense.

Lookyboy Posted May 23, 2018 #18 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Thank you, Bonnie. We did think that we were back on the mailing list until we failed to get the slight change of itinerary for Pursuit's inaugural voyage and then this one. Thanks for providing both..... much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
