Default Azura Pre- Maiden Cruise

Before Ventura had its maiden cruise we did a weekender to Bruges on her the week before the maiden cruise(seem to remmember that it caused a bit of fuss and upset many of the maiden cruisers) .

Does anyone know if a similar cruise is planned for Azura ?

What? a guinea pig trial pre-maiden trial (upset the maiden cruisers) cruise?

Perhaps! Its also the chance to promote the cruise before she sails officially .

I went on a jolly on Celebritys 5* Equinox pre-maiden, for 2nights before she had her maiden cruise. Had a balcony cabin, free frinks for 2 days and nights, a meal in Murano speciality restaurant, -even free car parking, the downside was the ship was fully of giggling 18-30's travel agents lol - nice for the few lads on there..

How did you manage to get on it?
Any tips on where to keep an eye open?
I wouldn't mind a couple of cheap days on Azura to check it out!

I had a call from our travel agents offering cabins - I can guarantee that won't happen again - it was Gillett Travel !!

I'd also like to know where to look out for it, if it happens
