Robb Posted June 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Are there any special benefits of a president's cruise? Any perks? Thanks.............:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upwarduk Posted June 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I have read that you are given commemorative tokens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted June 25, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2016 The October trip is a Le Club Voyage cruise, they've renamed it and I understand whilst the CEO is onboard, the focus is on celebrating the brand etc. There are extra excursions you can only book through Le Club Voyage (follow the link from the website to see them). I was told there will be other "surprises" and they are keeping them as that - surprises. My thinking is onboard events etc. Personally because so much of my holidays these days are to "known quantities" I'm hoping things stay as "surprises" here. I have booked one of the LCV excursions it was expensive but will be "special" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillC Posted June 25, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Larry has been advocating this itinerary for quite some time, and considering that he will celebrate a significant birthday during the cruise I expect that there be a few surprises. We, too, have booked the overnight camp excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb Posted June 25, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Thanks guys, I guess maybe it will be nice to have 'surprises'. We booked the October 24th cruise some time ago, not knowing at the time that it was a special cruise. We have not booked any of the special tours, just too expensive for our pocketbook-spent all that money on Emirates Air. :D We will have one night pre-cruise at Intercontinental Festival City. Really looking forward to being spoiled on Emirates Air.........limo service and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florisdekort Posted June 26, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Like Robb I'm aware of the special (and very expensive) LCV tours. I'm curious to hear from those who have been on previous President's / LCV sailings as to what else (if anything) is different. It seems odd if the only difference between a President's / LCV cruise and a regular cruise is extra tours for purchase - that's hardly a selling argument.

As Bill and I have said, there will be surprises. I would expect extra events onboard and I know the lovely LCV ambassador Nicole will be with us. I'm happy to know no more and be surprised.

I too will be happy to have on board surprise events. We also booked before it was designated a LCV cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you don't want to know the answer to my question doesn't mean I can't ask for an answer from others who took last year's voyage.

That said, it also wasn't very nice to dismiss the question and I would still appreciate answers :) Maybe there aren't any answers, if Azamara likes to surprise guests? We haven't booked any of the special trips, due to cost, and because I don't yet know what our plans are for each port of call. I may visit the Roll Call to get a few ideas. Whatever we do, I'm sure we'll have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elusive_23 Posted June 28, 2016 #16 Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) Maybe everyone was sworn to secrecy! :) I too am curious but looking at the itinerary and the excursions we want to take I'm not sure how we will fit any thing else in...

NicoleLukacs Posted July 18, 2016 #17 Share Posted July 18, 2016 On the Le Club Voyage voyage, there will exciting and unique opportunities that will provide guests with immersive destination experiences. As mentioned above, there will also be some surprises (shhhh). Additionally, Le Club Voyage members can reserve these exclusive tours: http://www.azamaraclubcruises.com/2016lcvvoyage Furthermore, not only will our President & CEO be joining us on this voyage, but he will be hosting a few of the tours. Hopefully you received the email from us with this exciting news. If not, feel free to contact me at LCVAmbassador@LeClubVoyage.com and I will be sure to send it your way! As always, thank you for your loyalty and feedback! Nicole Lukacs, your LCV Ambassador :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb Posted July 18, 2016 Author #21 Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) I know some of you are on the same cruise as we are . I am ready here as well..........actually did some packing chores last week. I was sorting through all the stuff from our most recent trip and instead of packing it away in closets (you know, the stuff that you end up taking on all your trips) I sorted it out and laid it on the bed of one of our spare bed rooms. All ready to dump in the suitcase. :) Waiting until the last minute to pack is not something that I can do. I am always finished with packing at least two weeks before departure. Just a little anal here. LOL :D :D Stay cool for the rest of the summer............... Edited July 18, 2016 by Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tango9 Posted July 19, 2016 #22 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I was on the President's cruise in 2011 ( Barcelona to Rome). I don't know, but maybe it was their first one. It was nice to meet Larry and his wife, Sandy, and talk to them about Azamara and what we like and would want to see improved. Of course, that was five years ago. As for extras, they gave us a marvelous evening in Tuscany with dinner at a winery and the Three Tenors and had a few other parties. Since then, as you know, Azamara has their Azamara evening event on each sailing now. So perhaps your Azamara evening event will be extra special.
