I'm still waiting for a response from Mr Leiber.

IMPORTANT CORRECTIONS ABOUT AZAMAZING EVENINGS

 

Hello 2014 AzAmazing Evening Followers:

 

On June 28, when I posted the AzAmazing Evenings from the preliminary information that I had at the time, I warned you that "this information is subject to change and is NOT final."

 

I need to advise you of some corrections. Yesterday, I received updated information about AzAmazing Evenings and found three voyages had changed. Below are the same voyages with the most up to date scheduled plans:

 

Azamara Journey: 2014 Departure Date and AZE Date

▫ Jan 6 - AZE / set Jan 13 - Ho Chi Minh City = No Change

▫ Jan 21 - AZE / set Jan 30 - Bangkok = No Change

▫ Feb 3 - AZE / set Feb 10 - Ho Chi Minh City = No Change

▫ Feb 17 - AZE / TBD - Okinawa on Feb 22 = CHANGE - Feb 25 - Tokyo

▫ Mar 03 - AZE / TBD - Hiroshima on Mar 7 = CHANGE - Mar 14 - Taipei, Taiwan

▫ Mar 17 - AZE / set Mar 19 - Manila = No Change

▫ Apr 3 - AZE / TBD - Phuket on Apr 6 = No Change

▫ Apr 15 - AZE / set Apr 25 - Aqaba = DATE & PLACE CHANGE - Apr 27 - Safaga

 

According to our tour operations team, the week of July 29, 2013 is the target date for having the completed 2014 line-up on our website.

 

I go back to my comment, that it's best to do the right things right the first-time. You can see what happens when I "jump the gun."

 

Lesson learned - it's better to disappoint with no information rather than the wrong information.

 

Best regards,

 

Bill Leiber

Dear Mr Leiber,

I note your statement about the planning of the Azamazing evening for the Journey cruise beginning 15 April 2014 with some surprise. On 28 June, I received an email informing me that the itinerary for this cruise (which I booked direct with Azamara UK) had been changed to accommodate the Azamazing evening. The pdf itinerary attached showed that the change had been to lengthen the stay In Fujairah in order for the Azamazing evening to take place.

You are now saying that this evening will take place in Safaga where - like many of my fellow passengers - we have already booked a ship's tour to the Valley of the Kings, an extremely long day which will deliver us back to the ship rather late - and even if our return were before the departure to the Azamazing evening, we would certainly not be in any mood to rush out again for it!

Please could you explain what on earth you and the Azamara staff are playing at? I'm not very impressed.
