midwestchick Posted February 15, 2016 #726 Share Posted February 15, 2016 There is plenty of storage in non-disabled staterooms of all types. Judging from the verandah stateroom video, I'm not seeing the storage in the bathroom that was once there. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

factor30 Posted February 15, 2016 #728 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Verandah stateroom had great shelvingYou can see it in the edge of the photos http://www.azamaraclubcruises.co.uk/blog/reimagine-azamara-see-the-renderings That photo is not a true representation of the finished article, i.e. Veranda Bathrooom. We were in VX 7121. I can confirm that there wasn't enough room for storage on the shelves. In fact, there was little other storage space. In our bathroom, the shaver/electric toothbrush point was located near to the top shelf. Too high for me to reach. The towel rails were on the right of the shelving. As already mentioned, no retractable washing line in bathroom. No hanging hooks anywhere in bedroom - only on inside bathroom door. Why not? Due to excessive steam build up in bathroom when shower in use, we had to remove bathrobes - but nowhere to hang them in cabin. I could go on but won't. So much has already been said about the problems we and others encountered. Suffice to say, we considered that Azamara bit off more than they could chew in the time they allotted for the dry dock. Even allowing for the bad weather in the Bahamas and the lost palette of equipment, etc. etc. 2 weeks wasn't long enough. The suite next to our cabin was like a building site inside (and that was only the one we knew about first hand). There was still a lot of 'snagging' and work to be complete throughout the ship by the end of our cruise. We still have great faith in Azamara, particularly the wonderful crew and ships officers, so much so, that we've booked her again for 12 days next July. We trust that all the problems will have been ironed out by then! Can't wait!! Rita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted February 15, 2016 #729 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Rita, they may of course add these items later. Hopefully you fed back the issues you had. This is just the sort of thing they want to hear. Hooks in the cabin are easy to remedy. Storage in the bathroom not so much, but I'd need to give it a run myself before making up my mind. It doesn't sound like the accessible cabins have had any extra bathroom storage space added. I've been in 6057 on Journey pre-refurb and there was none. Trouble is a storage cabinet on the wall above the sink is pointless for a disabled person and the adjustable mirror is there. You can't put a cupboard underneath the sink because it restricts wheelchair access. Over door hanger seems a good option. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rita Appreciate there were delays for some rooms, The V2 in Quest (example room) that we stayed in certainly had these shelves and we remarked how much better they were than the previous arrangement - we stored more on them, maybe it was the size of the bottles etc we had it really worked well with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What V2 room were you in? Most things I store in the BR are 3oz.travel bottles. I keep make up, etc. in the desk area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandma Cruising Posted February 16, 2016 #734 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Nada ... Nothing [emoji33] We always travel with an over-the-door hanging shoe storage. The pockets work great for all the bathroom odds and ends. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk I have two hanging coat hanger style sets of pockets that hang on the hooks inside the bathroom door. They take all my sun cream, potions, hair spray, bits and bobs etc. I also have a set of magnetic hooks, that stick anywhere on the cabin walls. Won't carry coats or dressing gowns, but do take sun hats. Also two magnetic bull dog clips that take paper, such as the latest copy of pursuits. All purchased from Amazon ( where else!).

Rare uktog Posted February 16, 2016 #736 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Bizarrely we have none of the room, I was sure we had! I would say to anyone, do not stress on what the room can hold where, go with an open mind as you would to any hotel that is unknown to you.

Rita I wonder if the ventilation was not working right yet in that room as we had no issues with steam build up. We have always just left the robes on that door. I hate the inroom hooks personally especially when room stewards insist in moving your nightwear from under the pillow and arranging it on the hooks for the world to see - took nearly a week to train our last guy that we wanted our nightwear left alone :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like training a dog! I see so much stress overhere. This thread is about holidays. It should be fun! There are so many people who would be so grateful to be able for only once in there life on a ship like this. Lets not worry about hooks, shelves etc. Start having fun and be a grateful that you can have holidays like this. I am sure looking forward to your holiday will be twice as much fun.

Hoyaheel Posted February 16, 2016 #741 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I always have a good time on vacation. But this forum exists so we can ask questions and get the answers we're looking for, no matter how odd or silly those questions might appear to others. Knowing what is available in my cabin, hotel room, or apartment has an impact on how & what I pack for a trip. It is important to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did we all cope before this digital age and too much information :D That's so true. However, we didn't care too much then way back when. What we didn't know, didn't hurt. I now care too much about our creature comforts with the advancing years and the more info the better! I'm always been told 'we'll find out when we get there'.....

We're sailing on a Princess ship in October and I have just begun to look at restaurants, etc. I booked it because I couldn't find a California Coastal with a decent itinerary or that matched our time frame.

I do not remember the dates, but they did a nice itinerary and they have a future one coming up but the dares didn't match what we were looking for. As far as Azamara....I was not aware they have a CA coastal coming up. I have not looked at the 2018 itineraries. I don't know if Inwould be in favor of booking two years out.

I received an offer today for a CA coastal on X. Free drinks, gratuities and $300 OBC...price for a balcony cabin is $2249 per person. Again, the dates don't fit with our schedule. But the cost is almost double. The only thing we don't have is the drink package and we have less OBC plus one meal in a specialty restaurant. I looked at the 2018 cruise on ACC...the ports are in Mexico, sailing San Diego to San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
