not for the essentials package, total of 300.00, not each. If your TA hasn't called for months, you need a new TA.

A TA can see all cabin availability online; sounds like someone doesn't want to do their job. It's a very simple thing to look up for the TA

this is what I was thinking too

All of the Azamara employees are trained; is that what you're asking? If you are looking for a "dedicated cruise planner", I'd suggest you use a TA

Most US carriers these days will allow flights to be canceled and rebooked without cancellation fees, only change in fare. I feel bad for all affected; always disappointing

booking yourself is the way it's been in the past and hopefully will be again soon. I guess my point is that if you use a TA, the TA is there- or should be there- to help you regardless of the issue.

How is doing something on behalf of a client a waste of their time? It's all part of the job

There is no difference in price with Azamara for any of the packages they sell. If you happen to have OBC, you will want to wait until you're onboard if you are wanting to use it for any of your package purchases. Have a wonderful cruise!!

We've had nothing but wonderful service in Aqualina for breakfast. I'm sorry it was different for you.

Transfer to your TA.

They have Flash Sales, which is what I would expect, so maybe 3-5 days long.

You most likely will find it a much different vibe. Think bachelor and hen parties, we had many on our short cruise in 2017. we didn't mind it, as there was a lot of interesting people watching 🙂

In the past, Azamara has had black Friday sales.

Typically if the price goes down, you can rebook if it's a new sale; you may or may not be charged a cancellation fee of 75.00pp, just depends. At least US bookings. If you have a specific staterrom you want or if the cruise is selling well, I would suggest booking now. And use a travel agent...

I have had success in the past with being able to use the credit on things other than tours, when there has been nothing to book onboard. Perhaps a pleasant conversation with an officer would help... This was before transition, though.

Well said!!

thank you!!

I don't think any cruiselines have made changes to 2024 itineraries yet. I just received an email from Oceania stating that they are looking at the 2024 cruises but are not making any immediate changes. I'm sure it's the same with Azamara.

are they promoting the indulgence package? That's what it sounds like to me.

😄They're like anti curling irons, for hair...

Thank you! I was reading through the "prohibited items" list and flat irons were listed.

Haven't been on Princess for 15 years. Do they allow flat irons? We're sailing on the Crown. Thank you for any insight 🙂

As others have said, the service is available. I have brought my own polish along (gel) and there hasn't been an issue with them using it

This is an interesting part of the CNN article: By 2026, all cruise operations will operate from the Adossat wharf. For that to happen, the Barcelona South terminal, also on the World Trade Center pier, will be closed. The port then plans to electrify the Adossat wharf, meaning that moored ships can be powered from the pier itself, rather than pumping out noxious emissions. Sounds like the WTC south terminal will remain open?

I don't think I've ever been on a cruise where they didn't offer additional Chef's Tables, based on demand, once the initial dates had been filled.
