That’s what I am wondering. I am sure @uktog will seek out the reasoning behind this change.

It seems like the shipboard activities were plentiful and I love that you had a dim sum brunch! Love the live reports! Thank you!

If you look under the list of shore excusions, you should see a description of your Azamazing evening under all the postings of shorex for Thessaloniki. You need to sign up for it, if you want to go. It would be the only shorex that has no change associated with it.

@uktog are you doing a Live report from your cruise? Maybe you can add some comments about how things are on Journey? I would love to hear your impressions, if you have any time. Thanks!

I have seen some changes in HD on Azamara in the past year, and many of the “legacy HD” are off to other cruiselines, etc. The changes have not been for the better, either. We are due to sail on Journey for our first cruise over Christmas and New Years and I hope it will be a good experience….fingers crossed, but to say I am nervous…..that’s an understatement!

I sincerely hope not!

I would love to try that menu! Thank you so much for enlightening this thread with all your posts!

Looks like some new ports…new itineraries according to social media posts.

They need to first maintain the ships they have now…..no new builds until that is done.

Hi Phil. Thanks for your thoughts on your most recent cruise on Journey. One question…..was Ryszard the Hotel Manager and Stephen the CD? Your thoughts are a little concerning to me considering Journey is my next cruise. Inconsistency seems to be the trend.

It IS very disappointing! When we sailed on Oceania in November for a TransAtlantic, we had very comfortable chairs that were a pleasure to sit in and we spent hours on our balcony reading and watching the ocean. The sea conditions were such that it was one of the highlights of our cruise and just couldn’t compare to the experience of the balcony chairs on Onward. We will not cruise on Onward. We avoid it. The balcony furniture on the other Azamara ships is better but nothing like the comfortable furniture on Oceania.

Looks really good! Yum! 😋

Got the same offer today for sailing in Dec. It is confusing, Not clear if the OBC is used for the cruise you are paying early for or for some future cruise. I believe the original email we received was as you said…..either 5% off or 5% OBC.

As the original author of the post, I welcome everyone’s posts on this thread. I enjoy all perspectives.

There’s a lot of stuff on Azamara “for those in the know”………that’s not necessarily such a good thing……….! I agree that options should be more in the public realm for everyone, just not for Those in the Know.

We also received that survey. It certainly does ask a lot of questions about how much we value the Azamazing Evening. It almost seemed like the response that they wanted to receive was that loyal cruisers don’t value it very much so they could do away with it.

Those rice tables are something! I finally attended my first one this past June. There is so much food! We walked away stuffed, but happy! Thanks for your continued uodates from your world cruise!

I would think your travel agent needs to work through this with Azamara and go to bat for you. Your travel agent can go above the head of person on the phone to a Manager at Azamara.

My booking is a CC suite.

Read the terms listed on the original post.……..says combinable with onboard booking savings, BUT NOT combinable if you received a reduced deposit with the onboard booking.

I just received the email a couple of days ago regarding receiving OBC for paying cruise in full now.

Great to hear from you! Enjoy the World cruise! Keep those reports coming as you are able.

Really appreciate all the trip reports from the Onward Christmas Cruise! It’s been fun reading them. Tonight will be your New Years Eve White Night Party! can’t wait to hear all about that. Have fun everyone!

How was Guadeloupe?
