Grandma Cruising

Yes you were. In February we were able to use our free nights along with the current promotion (which included $350 OBC) and got the booking onboard OBC as well as our 6 free nights. The cruise ended up about half price. I think you need to get in touch with them If you get the cabin free for however many nights you have both have earned, then they are applying both your free nights as you both occupy the cabin!

Main things that I picked up. 1. They will continue to refurb the 4 existing ships & would like to grow but Sycamore say they can if/when they (Azamara) can find the money from revenues to do so 2. All the shower curtains have been replaced with bamboo (in material made of bamboo I imagine) 3. In 2026 they aim to have 2 ships in the area of full sun eclipse - one off Iceland & 1 in the med. 4. Free days earned through loyalty can now be combined with any/all promotions 5. They are considering how to enhance Azamara Circle benefits (questions were asked about free Wifi) 6. They are considering plans for 2027 and the west coast of US is being considered, including Alaska - clearly said they’re only considering this, no decisions made. I’m sure I’ve missed things ( and I missed the first 10 minutes as I forgot too).

Alternatively you can make sure the company know what a good job their crew member is doing. A good company will note that and reward crew who get lots of compliments accordingly.

Watercolour classes are free. There is bingo, so you can spend your OBC on that. I agree that most excursions are overpriced, on the other can you can view them as ‘free’ if you’re using OBC on them. When we have a lot of OBC we tend to use it on excursions as it saves us using our own money to buy independent tours.

If you sign into your account and go into Manage My Reservation on your upcoming cruise, the options available to buy are their under AddOns - click the paper/pencil icon on the right. If you want to use OBC you should ring up.

Try logging into your account, clicking on Upcoming Cruises, then on Manage my Reservation for your cruise, then scroll down to excursions click on the paper/pencil icon then on the Available tab. Clicking on details for each excursion should show the price.

Trouble is that it depends on the Lisbon immigration authorities. Might be worth writing to Azamara to ask.

The Azamazing Evening should be listed in the available excursions on your cruise - it’s the one with the zero cost - it may be listed as a Destination Celebration if it will be held onboard. To see the excursions log into your account, click on Upcoming Cruises then Manage my Reservation. Scroll down to excursions then click on the paper/pencil icon on the right and you should see the excursions. If you have already booed excursions you will see two tabs - booked on the left & available on the right. You won’t know when the White Night will be until you get onboard, but it’s likely to be on a night when the ship is in port until late.

4028 is an accessible cabin, so it’s bigger than most.

I would guess not as it only offers drinks on the upgrade packages.

Epidaurus is definitely worth seeing, but Napflio itself is a lovely little town and nice to wander around.

Not sure, judging by the discount quoted for the package of 3 Chefs Tables, it must be $125 or thereabouts. As I haven’t posted link to the spreadsheet for a while (tho’ it is on the first post in the topic (thank you Host Jazzbeau), here it is. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15Deg-GaeZYLml8NN3PVwoh_jUkQ8QmYUe1wxnVAlODE/edit

We love the Aft Veranda Plus cabins - much larger balcony!

Sounds as if this is really going to be cruise to remember!

Speciality dining packages won’t sell out. As soon as you get onboard go to the Reservation desk (check with Guest Relations where it is on embarkation day) & make your bookings. Once your OBC is in place you should be able to get Guest Relations to transfer the cost of your restaurant bookings to your OBC.
