looks like lowest is now 50% uplift. Some of the previous 25% supplement trips are now 100% - wonder if the are limited numbers available for reduced supplement

Had 6 wonderful solo trips in the last year all 25% uplift verandas....looks like that is a thing of the past and nothing booked for 2023

Well, that’s a pain. Was that a glitch, or is that status quo for the Pursuit?

was on in October - status quo for Pursuit...the 3 other ships have it on tv.

Azamara Circle is currently showing unable to show tier and pints currently, anyone else having the same issue? Just booked cruise for November and that is shown. As is is cruise history. 

I am seeing tier points and history ok

The website says the only exceptions are transatlantic crossings and cruises LESS than 7 nights, so yours should have one, but they maybe haven’t got it planned yet.

shore excursions show...

Anybody knows if the test is required in Buenos Aires? Received an email where test was mentioned. But before - they said that it is nor required anymore. Confusing.

as per the link in post 4 - no not required

as mentioned here (and in other posts) the documentation has not been updated

April and December

they had not restarted in April. Some ships started in November (although I was on Journey end November and it was onboard) Was your December cruise on Journey that was delayed in Lisbon due to port pilot strike? (due to leave 29th November but left early hours 1st December?) and had missed ports? -was the event planned for one of the missed ports?

Seems to me it's now occurring everywhere, except on trans-Atlantics.  That's pretty "consistent."

on my March Onward cruise in Canary Islands it appears to be an onboard event (listed as Destination Celebration)

Does this mean that there was no lunch service on boarding day? I guess that's one way to reduce cost.

 

there is food set up in Windows when boarded

I have also noticed that the reduced solo supplement appears to apply to Inside and Oceanview only (not veranda)

Journey was back to buffet in Windows when I was in mid-November....not sure when they switched

Is it very difficult nowadays to obtain an Indian visa? 

e-visas were suspended previously (pandemic) and were only reintroduced for UK passport holders in the last 3-4 weeks (after the cruise referenced). In person appointments were scarce and I assume for many too far in the future.

I have researched (for personal bookings) the solo supplements and it does appear that some are starting to be loaded for nexr few months - nothing showing for Quest and only a few at 25% supplement and others at 50%

hope this helps someone

How much was it to upgrade to premium beverages, please?

 

 

 

 

note there is a "premium beverage package" and an "ulitimate beverage package" ($23.95 per day...possibly reduced depending on status)

you can see what is included in each and compare here https://www.azamara.co.uk/booked-guests/onboard-packages/beverage-packages

Not everyone in a suite who has complimentary Speciality restaurant access , uses it every night. On our first suite booking earlier this year we ate 6 nights in Speciality  and 5 in main dinning room. Our choice entirely , although we had already paid for speciality in our fare , the food was excellent in both venues and we liked the variety. 

agreed...personally not sure I would want to do speciality every night...I like to mix it up with Windows (I always do Indian night) Patio (when open) and Discoveries. Having just returned from a 10 night cruise in CC I chose to only book one night in Prime C and one in Aqualina. (leaving more bookings for others and not having too many fixed dining times) Did 2 Aqualina breakfasts but Windows rest of time.

It was £800 per cabin, not pp!

 

as a comparison, on my upcoming cruise (10 nights) I can bid for an upgrade from V1 balcony to Owners Suite...starting bid (weak!) £2,580pp

Club Continent Suite bids started at £350pp

I received my invite to bid for upgrade on 12th December cruise on 24th September so not sure the 3 months before is fixed....your invite may still appear by the end of this month

Wow, quite aggressive prices! But then it may not look so bad in dollars to our American cousins, compared to our rather meagre exchange rate...

 

 

agreed - and 18% service added on top....however for those with loads of OBC to use or lose it is a nice option (have heard those that have used spas have had great experiences)

 Perhaps the expiry is based on the date a Ravenna cruise ended, which in our case was Oct 22.

My two were both for June cruises so that would make sense (one took 2 months to arrive, the other took three months)

I had two lots of Venice/Ravenna change FCC...when received the certificates, both say 

• Any booking made using this FCC must be used for a sailing that commences on or before June 30, 2022

the terms and conditions here say https://www.azamara.co.uk/booked-guests/onboard-packages/experience-more-packages 

Chef’s Table: The Chef’s Table is for two guests sailing in the same Offer Cruise stateroom

is there an overnight in Istanbul the night before?

as far as I am aware, the earliest boarding time offered is 2pm, the earliest I have seen someone report to get onboard is 1:45pm, think this is still related to time required for deep clean between cruises

  Eric said that after Nov 25 they would be AzAmazing Evenings... we ( or you, since we are not on cruise immediately after Nov 25...) will see!

I have an onboard destination celebration on 26th November in planner (Journey) so I assume it may be for cruises that commence after 25th November

We got an email invitation on Sept 24 for our Dec 12, 2022 sailing.  

think they maybe do them in batches

I got two on that date, one for my November 19th cruise and the other for December 12th

no testing required in Rome (very few ports need now)
