Newbie Excursion details

[travelholics]

Greetings! We are newbies to Azamara and have booked a 14 night Carribean cruise in late 2025. 

We see a small number of excursions available to book, at present, do Azamara add new excursions as departure approaches? 

How do we find the Azamara evening details - don't see anything yet, but not sure what we are looking for!

How many tenders do the ships deploy, on average, for tendering?

Thanks in anticipation.

More excursions will be added nearer the time. It’s also possible that the Azamazing Event for your cruise has not been finalised yet. You’ll see it listed in excursions as a zero cost excursion.

Usually, there are at least 2 tenders and, often, more. Depends on the port--distance from ship, size of dock, shore excursions, what the port has to offer, etc. Sometimes, we have been given numbers to limit number of people waiting for tenders. People going on ship excursions get priority to board tenders.

Any guest who has independent arrangements on Azamara can get an early tender. We have been on first tender a few times, we let guest relations know and they advise us where to meet.
 

Unlike other lines Azamara do not prioritise ship marketed excursions at the expense of others. If needed in some ports there will be tenders dedicated to excursions eg in Santorini because the buses pick up at a different place to others. Captains will use more tenders (3 or even 4)  early in the day to speed up getting ashore then reduce the number when appropriate.
