Beamafar

Looking forward to experiencing the suite life on Edge, having done several YC cruises. We had a Sky Suite on Millennium 6 years ago, at the time Luminae was introduced - we weren’t impressed!

@AzamarajunkieI see you’re currently onboard Journey. Which beer on tap is currently available? TIA

👍 The spreadsheet is a great resource. 🙏🤗

If you purchase the package before embarkation you save the 15% service charge that’s added when purchased onboard. Easy is €32 pppd and Plus is €44. Add 15% when bought onboard.

We originally had our flight booked to Genoa and were resigned to having to transfer by bus to Nice, an added trip of approx 2 1/2 hours. I contacted our TA last week about a possible change of flight to Nice and he advised that it would cost an extra €503. I learned this morning that Azamara are not now charging us for the flight change. 👍😎

He/she only mentions the change of liquor offerings in suites is on trial. No mention that the draught beer change is a trial. I’m just saying this as you quoted the post that included both changes.

… and P1s. Wonder if the same will be offered to those. Probably if the reason is as you’ve posited.

@norn ironhas posted on the ‘Anybody onboard currently?’ thread that draft Newcastle has been replaced with Carlsberg on Onward. Does anybody know if this is the case on Journey or if it’s just specific to Onward?

Thanks for sharing this info. I wonder if they’ve introduced Carlsberg on tap on Journey. DH would be very happy with that. I may even give the included wines a try before upgrading (which I had planned to do - though will probably still have to for Bailey’s and cognac 🙄 😆)

😆😆😉

Just spoke with a friend who’s a steward with an airline who said the hold is pressurised, too, as it’s where they carry animals. For going off-topic (😔) I promise to contribute to the thread subject when I board Journey in 6 weeks’ time and find out the numbers onboard.

I was just thinking that! Have some Fevertree elderflower flavoured ones I was also going to bring, too - ah, well (sigh).

Thank you @Host Jazzbeau That makes perfect sense. I had seen the subject discussed on a thread recently but couldn’t remember which one.

I’m wondering if anyone can help explain the free nights for moving up a tier in the loyalty club and why they’re not always the good offer they appear to be.

They serve canned drinks on the plane. Thought they’d be ok in the cases.

I’m packing my own. I really can’t drink that Royal Club stuff 😆

Very true! Still a fluid situation and will probably continue to be for some time to come.

Looks like requirements aren’t beIng lifted anytime soon. I received an email from Azamara yesterday advising the following for our August 6th cruise: Azamara Testing Requirements To strive for a COVID-19 free environment, guests will be required to provide a negative COVID-19 test upon embarkation. The COVID-19 test can either be: PCR: Test date no older than three days prior to embarkation; OR Antigen: Test date must be within one day of embarkation For Guests that cannot present a negative COVID-19 test upon embarkation testing is available in the terminal or on the boarding deck for $59 USD.

Then he wouldn’t have achieved what he set out to do! Like clickbait. I feel the same about most of his titles (and videos!)

You should contact Az directly and enquire about a transfer as they will certainly have to provide them for those already booked before the change.

Folks, this thread is about Luminae - not Celebrity vs other lines I understand that threads can get derailed but perhaps it would be better to start a new thread on the topic so this one can get back to the original subject, which is the one I’m interested in.

We came up against the same with Azamara for our August cruise. Because Ravenna had become the disembarkation port before we booked, Azamara’s position is that we would have been aware of this so it would be our own responsibility to make our own arrangements. As our flights have been arranged as a package Az are charging us for the transfer from Ravenna to Marco Polo airport, Venice. For some reason, they’re only charging what it would have cost to go from Venice port to the airport - €55 pp.

We have one of those booked but have put in a bid for a CC. We won’t be too disappointed if it is rejected as we’re very happy with what we have and we get a lot of the perks, too.

I seem to be only able to use the ‘excursions’ OBC to prebook excursions only.

Update: We were given another opportunity last night to bid for an upgrade (which we are currently considering).
