marinaro44 Posted October 26, 2018 #28 Share Posted October 26, 2018 My TA asked Azamara and was told all these cruises are sold out. Skeptical? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh absolutely not all sold out. I was looking at the Panama canal cruise over the weekend and there were plenty of cabins still available. If it was one or cruises, maybe they could sell out in a matter of days, but no way all of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare uktog Posted October 27, 2018 #31 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Id say Rocca was correct, it is a one week dry dock in Europe and changes to the schedule thereafter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be unreasonable considering the negative reactions to the electronic casino on Journey against the positive ones for The Den on Pursuit. Could it be another job for Belfast? Good. On Pursuit now and the Den has been packed every night. Have Quest booked next summer so glad to hear changes are planned for her. Belfast performance was a big hit with RCCL, likely ensuring future business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolkgirl Posted October 29, 2018 #33 Share Posted October 29, 2018 We booked the 7 night Journey cruise ref 9898502 departing on 27 October 2019 in August whilst on board. The itinerary was Athens, Sea Day, Siracusa, Valletta, Trapani, Amalfi, Sorrento, Rome. I've just checked our Azamara account and it now shows the 9898502 itinerary departing 27 October 2019 as a 9 night cruise to Athens, Taormina, Sorrento, Rome, Florence, Monte Carlo, Ajaccio, Mann, Barcelona. !! Nothing like the original! No one has contacted us. What is going on Azamara? Why haven't you advised booked passengers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurieb Posted October 30, 2018 Author #36 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Kudos to azamara for the quick changes. I’m sure there will be many unhappy cruisers but hopefully Azamara will make it right for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me not. I am embarking Quest 8 March and expecting to end up in Yokohama, not dry dock at Sembawang Singapore. What makes you think that she is in dry dock then please Riocca?

There appears to be a 14-night night cruise departing from Cairns on 8th March and arriving in Singapore on 22nd March. There is then a 16-night cruise departing from Singapore on 29th March and arriving in Tokyo on 14th April. The dry dock must be in Singapore in the week between these two cruises.

NeilWM Posted October 30, 2018 #39 Share Posted October 30, 2018 There appears to be a 7 day gap in Singapore between the 14 night cruise from Cairns and the 16 night to Yokohama, which is not great for anyone on B2B unless they love Singapore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted October 30, 2018 #40 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Dry dock is 22-29 March I think as there is a gap in the schedule then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahore Posted October 30, 2018 #41 Share Posted October 30, 2018 OMG! Thank you everyone, this site is so worthwhile. I just booked the B2B on a whim, and somehow didn’t notice the missing week. We used to live in Malaysia so it’s perhaps a possibly that we go visit friends for a week, otherwise we might cancel the first leg. Thank you so much!!!!

When we were on Quest in September we were told the scheduled dry dock in Singapore for 22nd - 29th March 2019 had been finalised and that The Den had been agree. As far as we were aware it had always been in Quests schedule as the ship was due for its 3 year dry dock. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will passengers already booked be told how Azamara will take care of them as a result of the itinerary changes apparently being made to these cruises? The 10/27/19 cruise has a different itinerary, duration, and disembarkation port. The following cruise from Civitavecchia to Barcelona now appears to have been canceled, as Journey will already have reached Barcelona on the previous cruise. The 12/19/19 cruise is now Havana-intensive, and many have already done Cuba-intensive Azamara cruises, some more than one. One hopes there is very good reason for inconveniencing passengers already booked on these cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBMacLaird Posted October 31, 2018 #49 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hi marinaro44, Booked guests and their agents will be contacted when the voyages come back online. I am sorry I can’t be of much more help...All I’ve been told is to expect them online this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinaro44 Posted October 31, 2018 #50 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Voyage Planner for the 10/27/2019 cruise shows the new itinerary (significantly changed and much less interesting; Siracusa, Valletta, and Trapani taken away) but still lists the shore excursions for the original itinerary.
