baytraller Posted February 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2016 When you take an Azamara Charter do you receive Le Club Voyage points Are any of the Club benefits like internet and laundry included Are the shuttle buses complimentary Just what are the differences The Travel Agent does not seem certain about these issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted February 1, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I assume you mean if you book one of the cruises where Azamara has chartered the entire ship to a group. My understanding is that the group determines the level of amenities onboard, and that it does not come with LCV benefits because it isn't an Azamara cruise.

Perks such as LCV benefits are not typically included. Complimentary shuttles, which are perks for everyone, are negotiated on a case-by-case basis. If the chartering company wants to pay for them, they are included. As for earning LCV points on a chartered voyage, I believe you do earn points as long as you enter your LCV number when you register. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an example, I don't think spirits are included on Quest's September/October charter from Montreal to NOLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Med charter in April the charter company is now including drinks plus BOGO fares Guess it is not selling to well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munch1 Posted February 2, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Please tell me - what are BOGO fares? You buy one at reg. price and the other one is free which makes your cruise half price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simchagirl Posted February 2, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Thanks munch1. What is the UK website? The AU website lists the amenities also. I'm on the April 5 sailing on Journey and disappointed that Azamara seems to always book a long charter after the crossing. Was trying to see if you could book just a segment or had to book entire charter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spw1947 Posted February 6, 2016 #15 Share Posted February 6, 2016 As my post was taken down, probably because I mentioned the chartering company for the April and September cruise, I'll respond with my information. I contacted LCV and was told yes we would earn points but as Bonnie also said above, it was up to the chartering company whether we received benefits. I contacted the chartering company who responded through my travel agent and said we would not receive benefits. I would suggest that LCV members booked on these cruises make their displeasure known to the chartering company. For those panicked by the thought of spirits not being available, let me reassure you, although as is the usual policy top shelf spirits will be charged. The inclusion of the more generous drinks package compared with the originally advertised package was the result of negative feedback the chartering company had received after previous charters.
