Someone already posted on Roll Call or here they were told by chef, 350. Whether that changes we will soon find out Sunday!🛳😁

Could any one tell me the quality of the Wifi onboard?   Can you stream, for example Music or Netflix or is it just available for surfing?

I don’t usually go for it, but I could have sworn I saw some in Dec.

Maybe it was in Windows at lunch time near salad bar?

Anyone else remember seeing it?

I remember it too at lunch and it had the longest line the whole time.  But it wasn't available every day like I remember in the past.

In my experience this past December, it would take up 20 of my minutes just to get my email to download and open and then to get out of it again.      I pre-downloaded some workout videos to my phone as I am certain that trying to use the internet to view them would of been very frustrating.

We didn’t have it at all in November.  Hope we have it next week

As of today, it's 326 for the March 6 cruise.  Might still be some fallout.

I've had success with streaming Amazon Music, but not Netflix. I could go to the gym and do a workout listening to music, but it varies from cruise to cruise depending upon where you are.

I have to access work systems when I am cruising.  My experience is very similar to Phil's with streaming. We require quite a strong signal to be able to clear the authentication and security stages of log in then my bandwidth needs are minimal and it performs fine if a little slower.  Some days I can clear it, some days I cannot.  It is influenced by so many factors, where we are in the world, time of day (eg if less others are using the wifi) location on the ship (I always found mosaic better) etc etc.  So as long as you can accept it might or might not work thats as good as it gets

Look at your boarding pass when you do you your on line check in. You have choices and our earliest was 2:00 PM.

Boarding the ship has been at 2 for some time now with Covid.   I'd guess they'll have the terminal open at least by 12.

Nice evening last night.  Ryszard and Alex made beignets in Discoveries (served with praline gelato and infused by Alex with ruby port) and Amanda did her second show.  Good time.

The beignets sound lovely!

Just saw this topic. Watching and seeing the number of pax. It looks as though the July Norway cruise is fully booked.

Fully booked does not necessarily mean fully occupied with 695 guests. It means all the inventory Azamara is prepared to release at this moment is booked. 
 

Anyway not sure where you are looking as all categories still have availability except the big suites. 

[marinaro44]

Boarding must still be at 2 today as Aqualina is serving lunch for back-to-back guests.  Windows was open for those embarking until late afternoon.

 

Quest is berthed at the usual terminal J.

Thanks for the terminal info!  Helpful for our driver

I am thinking of booking our first Azamara cruise shortly. The cruise line's website seems to indicate that reservations are currently required to dine in the main restaurant, rather than the usual open dining. Is this correct or is the site inaccurate ? In general, is it easy to just walk in without waiting or are pagers sometimes used ?

Thanks.

Only, if you wish to have a table at the window, you might have to wait at the beautiful bar next to the Discoveries Restaurant. Defintely no pager.
