Question of Bonnie re: booking specialty restaurants before cruise

Hi Bonnie,

We are sailing on our first Azamara cruise this June and have a question about booking reservations for the specialty restaurants. We are celebrating a big birthday on the first night of the cruise and would really like to have dinner at Prime C but not sure if we could set this up ahead or not? Is there an email address or someone that handles special requests?

Thanks!

There is no way to schedule a specialty restaurant meal before boarding the ship. I suggest that you board the ship as early as possible and immediately go to the specialty restaurant table to make your request. Usually the first night of a cruise is fairly light so I don't think you will havve a proble. Mention that it is a special occasion and they might pleasantly surprise you. You should look at buying one of the discounted packages, assuming that you are not in a suite.What I usually do is fill out an index card with the dates and times I want to make reservations and just give it to the maitre'd. They are very professional and cooperative.

BillC is correct. You'll have to make your reservation once onboard.

Enjoy your cruise, and your birthday celebration!

A perfect answer!:cool:

Thanks everyone! That is what we will do. :)

On our last Azamara cruise it was my wife's birthday. We had booked the specialty restaurant, purely by coincidence we bumped into the hotel director. After having a chat he asked if we were celebrating anything special, DW was all dressed up:hearteyes:. After finding out it was her birthday he excused himself and then came back after 5 minutes or so. He then proceeded to escort my wife through to Prime C and sat her at our table.

She was then presented with flowers a bottle of champagne and at the end of our meal, a birthday cake.

Totally unexpected and what a surprise.

Happy cruising.

With a name like Foggy you would think so but no UK born and bred.

Chose the name after Carl Fogarty World Superbike champion of the 90's and ZX9r Ninja my first sports bike.:hearteyes:

The story I posted is one the reasons we have booked Azamara for my 60th. The crew made the cruise the highlight.
