$398 stateroom upgrade

Can I just ask the cruisers who received the upgrade, how were they informed?

 

If you used a TA, did they inform you?

 

(Stil hoping!)

It would be very nice to get a free upgrade lol

Our travel agent rang us after being contacted by Azamara. We had to make our minds up quickly as Azamara was on hold whilst we were offered this. We had a choice of 4 Club Continent suites.

Just to be clear this wasnt a free upgrade. We applied and were offered this upgrade at a discounted price. But it wasnt free.

We are still very happy :):)

You'll love your club continent suite...more elbow room, nicer by far bathroom, somewhat larger balcony, and our two experiences are that our butlers were warm, friendly, and would do anything for us. Enjoy!

Thank you!! We are very excited! Can you tell me please if there are sunloungers on the balcony?

Thanks

No, there is a table and three chairs with seat cushions.

That seems strange, why 3 chairs for 2 people?

Thanks

Jen:eek:

Before they changed the balcony furniture in the Club Continent Suites there used to be two (uncomfortable) chairs, a table and a reclining chair much like you get in a Celebrity balcony cabin. They swapped them all out for new chairs and a table. The balcony is wide enough to take three chairs, but the table takes up quite a bit of space. The picture below is a different cabin category, but the grey chairs and table are the same as you yet in a Club Continent Suite. I found the trick for a comfortable recline is to pull the chair close to the patio window and use one of the cushions from inside to rest your head. Feet on the balcony railings. Pretty comfortable.

Thanks Phil

Delighted to say we have been offered ( and accepted) a paid upgrade for our cruise next week on Journey out of Athens.

Good for you Scottie!

Great news. Did they call you or vice versa?

Congratulations!

Were you given a choice of available cabins or just asked if you wanted to go ahead with the upgrade?

We were offered only 1 room.

We were offered 3 different grades of suites (at different prices) inc an Owners Suite which we accepted very happily.

Wow!

I guess it all depends on availability, LCV level, etc.

It sounds like you definitely scored.

I will have to make sure our TA has my cell phone number so I can be reached easily if the offer becomes available for our cruise.

We were offered only 1 room.

Did you take the offer?

Hopefully there will be at least one Club Continental Suite left by the time Azamara gets down the list to our request.

When I spoke to Celebrity Captain's Club about the Elite benefits transferring over to Azamara she at first mentioned this, but then said, "Never mind, because they are only for people who booked at full price, and you booked on a promo."

Anyone ever get one of the $398 upgrades when booked on a promotional rate?

Congratulations. Enjoy.

May I ask how many AZ cruises you have been on and at what your Le Club Voyage loyalty level is.

Thanks.

Again, have fun.

We have only been on one Azamara cruise previously but are Discoverer Level due to being Diamond on RCCL.

Yes. Just got one on a cruise I booked as a last minute deal.

Interesting. I understood the LCV $398 stateroom upgrade program is only available to bookings outside of 120 days. Are you saying they accepted it within that period? From the terms and conditions:

Program is not valid for bookings made in guarantee categories (W, X, Y, Z), for bookings created within 120 days to departure, or bookings that change stateroom categories within 120 days to departure.
