Raskelf Posted March 27, 2013 #214 Share Posted March 27, 2013 It looks as if I will have to buy a water package as I choose to drink sparkling water and not alcohol thus unable to access the Inclusive list. Methinks I shall pursue this matter further. I appreciate that it is a minor matter in the great scheme of things and of minimal impact to my enjoyment of the cruise but not everyone wants to imbibe. Do vegans pay extra or buy a package ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spursgirl Posted March 27, 2013 #215 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Brilliant . Great post.

Bill Leiber Posted March 28, 2013 Author #220 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Bear in mind time differences Bill may not be logged in when these were uploaded Hello Azamara Followers -- As it's already been reported on this thread and a new one, the beverage packages are now live on our site. Here's the link: http://www.azamaraclubcruises.com/plan-your-voyage/onboard-packages. I want to let you know that we found the information to be so extensive, that the website design team found it necessary to create a new format design which meant missing the due date that I had shared with you earlier. Under the home page tab of "Plan Your Voyage" the drop-down menu has been expanded to include a new section, titled, "Onboard Packages." From that point, you can review the following information: § Complimentary Beverages § Water Package § Wine Package § Liquor Packages § Beer Packages § Internet Packages § Spa Packages § Frequently Asked Questions. I'm hopeful that this more detailed program overview will provide you with a better understanding of the program. Because of my schedule I was unable to post this final information earlier in the day and I'm sorry for the delay.

Mystictraveler Posted March 28, 2013 #224 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Bill, My wife and I are booked for the Journey in late May. Having reviewed your new alcohol policy and this thread, I have a couple of questions/suggestions. - I just can't understand why a cheap domestic beer like Bud and Bud light are included as complimentary but others like Coors Light and Miller Light are not? To me, this just has no logic. And yes, I don't like the Bud products. Can this be reviewed? - As I understand it, there is one white wine, one red wine and a rose available each day? Again, why so utterly restrictive? For example, my wife and I dislike any white wine aged in oak. So are we forced to buy an un-oaked white wine, which may have been complimentary the day before? Again, this is overly restrictive. If a wine is going to be served at some point as a complimentary selection, why can't it be available at any time. Observation: This is our first Azamara Cruise and this new "all-inclusive" alcohol program is frankly coming across as very "cheap" and is not conducive to attracting customers. In fact, it looks like you are trying to make it so unappealing that customers will be forced to select a drink package. Is that your goal? Azamara has taken something that I thought was going to be a positive into something that has, excuse the pun, left a bad taste in my mouth. Thank-you for your consideration.

Bill Leiber Posted March 28, 2013 Author #225 Share Posted March 28, 2013 liquor is includedEvian is an extra charge I don't drink alcoholic beverages. I like Evian. Azamara missed the mark on this one. Hello Redtravel - For the sake of good order, I want to reiterate that that we will continue to provide complimentary bottled water; however, I'm unable to state the brands of (still) bottled water that are included because they are either purchased locally or through our purchasing group and vary by area of operation. I hope this information provides perspective to the new program.
