Grandma Cruising Posted March 6, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Uktog has suggested that, as many of you are not receiving emails from Azamara, I could paste and copy them here. If people stop saying they’re not getting emails I can the happily delete the topic. Here’s one I received today. Dear Denise It’s the final chance to take advantage of our Share and Save promotion as our best offer of the year must come to an end on the 31st March. Don’t miss out! Plus, we’ve made extra price reductions on 35 voyages so you can save even more! Our Share & Save offer gives you 50% off your guest's cruise fare, plus free Wi-Fi in Oceanview staterooms and above.

upwarduk Posted March 6, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Hopefully it’s OK for anyone who does get emails from Azamara to share. This one came last night 05/03/19 regarding the updates to Quest. Dear Cynthia, We're thrilled to announce that Azamara Quest will receive a variety of exciting enhancements this spring. In addition to the accommodations, lounge areas, and dining venues our guests have come to love, here are some of the new features you'll find on board starting on March 29th: • Our guest-favorite lounge from the Pursuit℠ is making its way to the Quest! "The Den" will replace the Casino area on Deck 5, featuring live music in the evenings and drinks from the neighboring full bar, Spirits. This will also be the new home to the Shore Excursions and Cruise Again desks. • Finding the perfect gift on board just got easier than ever before. Our shopping venues will be completely renovated and restocked with a number of stylish new brands. • One of the best parts of cruising the open seas? The spectacular views, of course. Take in the scenery from six new portside Oceanview Staterooms, debuting on Deck 4. • No matter whether you're taking in the views from your suite's balcony or indulging in a decadent meal from our dining venues, we want you to be as comfortable as possible. That's why we've added new furniture to our Specialty Restaurants, as well as to the Club World Owner's and Club Ocean suite balconies. • To cap off the Quest's ship-wide enhancements, we've also renovated the standard stateroom shower walls and added new carpets in all corridors. We can't wait to welcome you on board the newly revamped Quest to enjoy all the exciting updates that lie ahead. When I initially copied, the following is what came up, so I had to go back to select and copy the above!! Not sure why everything is underlined when I pasted, not seen that before. https://click.email.azamaraclubcruises.com/?qs=25a462d717319337f938eb364e964ca84224533f99ddbb0a5bc152431ac3a59b2c943f7dcd81c325f9f8ba530a18f7527f71261c99c5aad6 Edited March 6, 2019 by upwarduk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBMacLaird Posted March 6, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 6, 2019 It will be helpful to include the country where you reside (received the email) whenever you share promotional emails. Our promotions are not universal...they vary by market. Some countries have much stricter regulations as I understand it. For example, I've been told (aka I've not confirmed this) that promotions cannot be extended in the UK; while in the US we often extend a promotion by a few days, even up to a month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted March 6, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 6, 2019 My original thought was about the LCV communications in particular- yes in the UK you have to advertise when a sale is ending you can now see it in small print in our furniture adverts on TV and you can’t extend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience over the past 6 or 7 years is that US and Canadian promotions are identical and the extensions are also for the same length. Canadian dollar prices fluctuate with the exchange rate( not sure how often it's adjusted). US dollar bookings are also available in Canada. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookyboy Posted March 12, 2019 #13 Share Posted March 12, 2019 We are worried for the same reason, Jenny. I have read the thread and then reread the thread relating to the stateroom upgrade, and for the moment, it may have been interpreted as verging on being biased AGAINST loyalty and in favour of cash bids. Surely this is not what Azamara intended as an improvement to the system? But... to the point of this thread......as long as we are not on the mailing list, we are dependent on social media and sometimes opinion......or discovering changes by pure chance until Bonnie posts or corrects or it appears in a thread such as this. How does one know that one has a missed an e-mail if not following social media? Sorry... RANT OVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandma Cruising Posted March 13, 2019 Author #15 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I got the email this morning in the UK. It’s no clearer. Here it is VIEW IN BROWSER CONTACT US FIND A VOYAGE | LUXURY CRUISE DEALS | MY ACCOUNT Dear Denise, We're thrilled to introduce the new and improved Azamara Upgrade program — giving you the chance to elevate your stay by bidding in just a few simple clicks. This online experience puts you in control to make upgrading your stateroom easier than ever. Unlike our previous program, once you are approved for an upgrade, you will receive an email confirming your new stateroom and you will no longer have to wait for us to call you to confirm and process your upgrade. You'll also be able to place bids on multiple stateroom categories with a wider array of staterooms to choose from. Plus, as a valued Le Club Voyage member, you'll enjoy priority status based on your LCV tier level — meaning your chances to upgrade are higher. So, depending on whether you're an Adventurer, Explorer, Discoverer, Discoverer Plus, or Discoverer Platinum, you'll automatically have a boost against bids of equal value. If your booked voyage departs before June 30th, and you've already placed a request via the old program, make sure to place a bid with our new program by April 1st to receive additional priority status.

marinaro44 Posted March 13, 2019 #17 Share Posted March 13, 2019 A bidding scheme is just bush league, Azamara. Suggest this scheme be dropped in the same dustbin as the aborted Asian restaurant that would take over the Sunset Bar. Or is this the casino replacement program? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
