Yes that was certainly our experience (our discount was 25% as platinum so we paid $6 a day each)

Is this the same, that you just pay the difference, both if you have purchased the Premium package or had it included in a booking promotion (Experience more)? I have been looking forever on the Azamara site, but have not really found anything. 

Have never been on Azamara before, but will in August and December. Really looking forward to it.

Thank you all for all the great info on this site

You will have butler and concierge services. Lunch and breakfast in Cagneys steakhouse, very peaceful and quiet. The Spirit is a beautiful, perfect sized ship. Looks brand new. The best (free) adults only pool area in the fleet and a great observation lounge. I am sure you will love the ship. 

From what I have heard, it is much better to email than to hand in a written card. 

Warnemunde is, by the way, a beautiful place by itself. It was a huge surprise to me when I was there on the Getaway.

If one cabin has a lot of obc, and friends in another doesn't, can the first cabin bring, and pay for, a speciality dinner for the others?

A thing with tipping is that a lot of people really wants everyone to see when they give their one dollar bills to the bartender. Other people tip the bartender in a way that no one else notices. If you tip one dollar, the bartender often puts it in a "pool" to share with others. If you give a ten or more, they put it in their pocket. 

I am also on this cruise. Second part of b2b, this second cruise, and especially Le Bistro made me decide that after over 500 nights with NCL, this was the last one. But I am glad you are enyoing the time on board. 

The Spirit changed todays port of call, including immigration to the US to Kona. The officials will tender onboard. It is gonna be chaos today...

You can choose any of the restaurants on the Gem.

Dinner daily, not open for lunch. 

Jewel class sized ship with the Waterfront from the Breakaway/+/Prima class. 

At least in Sweden there is a law that when something is on sale on something they have to show the lowest price it was sold for within the last 30 days. 

Not available to purchase at the moment on the Spirit in late March and early April.

Euribia have Jacquart in YC. At the Champagne bar they also had Lanson included.

I just departes two days ago after a week on the Euribia, in the yacht club.

Beautiful ship, the best staff I've experienced on any cruise. Including the non yacht club staff. The buffet selection and quality was fantastic. Like on Celebrity or NCL 10+ years ago

The service was great everywhere. It took never more than one minute from seated until a bar server came to the table in the buffet.

I had a better experience this time than on the Bellissima in september, also yacht club, that time the capacity was 60%, this time 100%.

The wine bar is not included in any package.

Go for it!

According to the current bar menus in the app, Champagne is only offered at speciality restaurants. Some months ago it was in a lot of bars and the mdr.

I don't know anything about other cruise lines, but most hotels I stay in have checkin times of 3 or 4 in the afternoon.

But then you can also stay in your room until 11 or 12 the final day. Which obviously is a lot later than on the ships.

Prosecco is on the standard package. Champagne should be on premium plus.

I just checked what it would cost to upgrade to P+ for me and it's a staggering $1159 per person. 😂  I think I'd rather stock my home bar, save several hundred, and then 'slum it' with the standard package and a la carte. 🙂

 

I do not think that is the price for the upgrade. That is the price to buy the package from scratch. 

The upgrade price is around $35 per person per day.

The plus package was GREAT when it was introduced. Now, in my opinion, not worth it. 

Is the supply chain issue still an issue in the US?

I saw numerous notices on signs and the daily newsletter, but it is wrong for them to just keep your money. Livorno was ridiculous, but the Valencia s**tshow was way worse. I think I walked eight miles that day.

What happened in Valencia? I stayed on the ship that day.

According to Cruise Radio rumours are that the Spirit has been chartered to China fpr 107 days, give or take.

I'm sorry but you are wrong regarding the EU laws. I live in Spain and most restaurant prices are plus tax. You can also get many things quoted nett and then tax shown separately 

 

According to the EU I am not wrong.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/shopping/pricing-payments/indexamp_en.htm

When you buy goods or services in the EU, you have to be clearly informed about the total price, including all taxes and additional charges.

The European costumer laws are very strict. The price you see, should be the price you pay. No hidden fees. 

Like it or not. 

I like it.

Most of the major the Cruise Blogs, radios, news and such are dependent on invites from Cruise Lines. So do not count on any bad press.
