Haven’t been on X since January 2020. We leave in 4 weeks on the Equinox. We sail in Aqua, so dine in Blu..just checked the nightly menu..included is rack of lamb, filet mignon, and lobster. There is no mention of extra cost. I’m glad they haven’t taken away the fine dining we always had in Blu. We have been sailing on Viking Ocean, small ships and excellent food and service with NO add ons..glad to be returning to X.

I booked through my online TA on a March sailing. Fortunately, I sailed on Azamara in 2008, so since I am Elite Plus on Celebrity, my status was carried over to Azamara. Not too sure what perks Azamara gives Discover Plus, but can’t wait to board the Journey.

Thanks, I’m going to check this out. The 600.00 is from AZ, I know the additional OBC is from my TA, and will have to wait until onboard. The only thing is that my OBC, doesn’t show an amount just 2 coupons no amount. When I called AZ, they confirmed the 600.00.

Have a question. I have 600.00 in OBC. I was told by Azamara I could not book my shore excursions until 30 days after I paid my final. Is this true? I’m sooo confused. Thanks

I booked my Azamara cruise with my online TA, which include air, hotels, transfers,etc. wondering when Azamara books air. Can we wait until I see flights before deciding to us their air plus for upgrading flights. Haven’t been on Azamara since 2008, which we also traveled on an inclusive package. Thanks

I am Elite Plus on X, but haven’t sailed on X since January 2020.. since then we sailed 3 times on Viking Ocean. My next cruise is on X in September. Hoping we will not be disappointed in Blu. In March we will be on Azamara Journey. Haven’t been on Azamara since 2008. So looking forward to our return and to a wonderful cruise experience.

I am Elite Plus on Celebrity so my status was the same on Azamara since i previously sailed with them

Thanks you for your responses. Called Azamara and since I had previously sailed, my status will be Discovery Plus.

We are going to be booking a cruise. We were on Azamara in 2008. We are Elite Plus on Celebrity. I do not have an Azamara account, but the sailing shows on my Celebrity account. Will I still be able to become a Discovery plus member on Azamara. Thanks

We were on Viking. Our travel insurance did reimburse us for the confinement, and all medical expenses. They charged us $799.00 for Paxlovid, which I had to insist they give him.

My husband got Covid with 3 days left on our Transatlantic cruise on another cruise line. We were able to order from any restaurant including specialty (which were included) on this cruise line. Everything came in piping hot, even brought me wine. They couldn’t have been more accommodating.

I would call again. I paid $420 for 2, for my 14 day cruise. I think some reservationist don't have a clue. Can’t wait for my PCC to return.

I guess my PCC gave me a deal on our 7day cruise.

It depends on the length of ur cruise.. 7 day cost was $20.00 pp per day, 14 day was $15.00pp per day. We are sailing on casino rates, so decided just to book thru HAL, since the online agency I use charge a cancel fee, which can be use for another cruise. I didn’t want the hassle as this cruise is not until over a year from now.

I booked online a r/t Japan Oct 2024, with $2,00 deposit. My PCC is out until next week. I did add CO and then upgraded my cabin from VH to VA. So I paid for the OC, but my deposit was still low, and yes don’t have any thoughts of canceling unless We have a medical issue.

Thanks, I agree..we also prefer late dining fixed. Just wasn’t sure if it wasn’t cost effective to add CO just for upgrade

I have another question for all of you. We are now considering booking a 14 dy Asian cruise for October 2024 on the Noordam. Is it worth upgrading to CO as they do not have a separate dining room. Appreciate your advise. Thx

Quick question, this is our first time in Club Orange, do they have fixed dining or open dining. My HAL confirmation states main dining. Thanks

This was my original booking, if I downgraded it would have been a higher rate then I have. I’m ok with the cost as when I made a fake booking and price was a thousand more. Thx for your info. Next time I’ll be better informed with all the info on this website

I upgraded to CO today..had to pay for the upgrade to get my cabin assigned.

We’re on the March 23 cruise. I originally booked an unobstructed cabin, with the casino rate. I was unaware of the CO, since I haven’t been on HAL in a while. Could not go to a lower category since my rate was much lower now.

I just added Club Orange to my booking for March on the Koningsdam. For less than $300 for both of us I received an upgrade to VA cabin with extended balcony, from a VF guar. Haven’t been on HAL since they added the CO. Thanks to all your posts we’ll try it, since we always travel on Celebrity in Aqua to eat in Blu.

I have an 11:15am flight in September. Not sure if we should self disembark

I haven’t been on Holland since 2019 and always had late fixed dining. On celebrity cruise we eat in private dining room Blu, so it’s anytime dining. So this time I figured I would do the same on Koningsdam. After reading all your posts,I have switched to late dining for our March cruise. 5:30 is just too early.

I always take insurance thru an online insurance company. Have used it many times, (wish we didn’t need to). In March we were on a transatlantic cruise, another cruise line. 3 days prior to disembarking my husband got Covid. The ship charged $800 for Paxlovid, plus all the doctor and medicine charges. Our Medicare PPO does not cover for foreign travel. Insurance reimbursed for all medical expenses and also paid us for the 3 days of cabin confinement, under trip interruption.
