Agree, we loved on 6 October Journey cruise. We didn’t do the Italian (too many substitutes needed to remove nuts) and had the Explorers Dinner would happen on the 13th but it was cancelled due to low demand 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I love it, too - smooth and full body, with lovely structure; here in Ontario we still have it at $55 CAD but in Quebec it’s all gone!

I assume this is on every ship? I'm on Pursuit in Jan/Feb. Do you know also if it is just one night only? I'm on a 17 day cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right in thinking there are one or two other theme nights for the chef's table. Think I saw an Italian one and maybe an Arabic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchell810 Posted October 21, 2022 #2237 Share Posted October 21, 2022 For any one who's sailed in the last month or two: It's my understanding that Windows Cafe is open on embarkation day for a late lunch. In your experience was the patio grill also open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nippy Sweetie Posted October 21, 2022 #2238 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Just heard last night that due to airport strike our flights home have been cancelled. Meeting at 9 in the Cabaret to outline new plan. We've been booked on flights in two days time. Azamara finding hotel for next two nights. Not sure how many are affected. Steward wonders how this will affect passengers due to board today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nippy Sweetie Posted October 21, 2022 #2242 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Originally British Airways. Now we're flying with Vueling via Barcelona to Edinburgh. Never heard of Vueling airlines before! Currently just sitting in board waiting for coach to the hotels. Looks like about 50 of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vueling is a budget airline and part of the IAG group so a sister airline to BA and Iberia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riocca has it right as always- a word of warning check what weight allowance you now have with vueling as it’s less than KLM/BA. Another thing although Azamara booked your flights you may be entitled to EU261 delay compensation from BA. Check their website, flyertalk orCAA for details though I think strike action may be outside the parameters but always worth a check (261 applies to all guests not just those from the EU) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually use Vueling for Barcelona, no complaints and they are pretty good. Similar to Jet 2, so they're at the 'top end' of budget category.

Nippy Sweetie Posted October 21, 2022 #2246 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Reassuring to hear about Vueling. Now worrying about my case. It's very heavy. Hotel is not great. At a petrol station on a busy road 30 mins from Rome and same from the airport. To pay and claim back for meals apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
