Oh I hope the weather improves soon! Unfortunate that you missed your day with Patrick, very memorable tour. You’ll just need to go back!

It’s accessible, so I’m sure much involved with it…

More will be added closer to sailing. We’re cruising may/June this year; more being added daily.

Thank you so very much for sharing your experiences with us!

Phil, you two should join the January 6, 2025 cruise! (Sorry, I know it's off subject)

from the article: In 2024, the drydocks will include hull cleaning and painting, underwater inspections, inspections of stabilizers, rudders, propellers and bow thrusters. We will also upgrade and renew some equipment and machinery which is approaching its reliable lifespan,” he said. “We are also optimizing the fuel efficiency of our vessels by modernizing large energy consumers such as propulsion by applying silicone paint to the hull to reduce resistance through the water; HVAC by replacing older chiller units with more efficient ones and updating the air handling control/distribution units, and by upgrading our light and dimmer systems.”

It's not usually known ahead of time as weather plays a big part; it's usually one of the later nights in port though

well that's great news!

Pretty sure the agent was mistaken.

Please also remember, you're looking way out into 2025. whatever you're seeing now probably won't even exist then. You would be better off to wait until early next year to start looking for tours.

We've used Tours by Locals in the past, and like you, am astounded at what many of the guides are charging now

If delta changed your flight time, you should be able to change your flight to one that works with no charge to you. Look up flights that will work for you and give Delta a call. We tend to book our flights quite a ways out and have had to do this many times with AA, as flight times can be changed often.

Last time I was on you still had to hold down the on button. I'd suggest investing in a small travel hairdryer.

Please don’t let one person’s experience one time dampen your excitement for your own cruise. The people on your cruise won’t be the same as on that cruise. Go and have fun, join trivia if you want and enjoy the den. And burn up that dance floor!

Nor have we!

yes

I have it from a very realiable source that the Aqualina menu is being revamped and will be introduced fleet wide by the end of the world cruise.

I’ll definitely check out the gardens as I’m a big plant nerd

We'll be aboard Azamara Quest in June; we have an overnight in Nantes. any suggestions on how to spend our time?

If you have the ultimate package, you can order drinks to be delivered to your stateroom, so you could order wine to be delivered. You could purchase a bottle of wine through the sommelier and have in your room. You could also order at one of the bars and carry it to your room. We bring our own wine onboard; there would not be a corkage fee if you drink it in your stateroom.

You then are working with an agency with bad agents. I know several and they haven't had issues with service.

no need in st. Tropez; there has been a shuttle for Marseille in the past

I may be that none of my future cruises apply

As others have said, that is perfectly fine! I've seen some out and about in their robes...

I haven't seen either of these promotions in the US market
