  1. We got on in Monaco on the 7th October. We saw the officers and 99% said hello, when we were onboard, (as we were in port every day for 11 days). We were invited with another couple, to sit with the 3rd in charge for dinner. It was a very nice dinner, although the poor officer had trouble eating his meals, as we discussed lots of topics we were interested in. It was a fabulous cruise considering how busy it was. Grace was amazing. I am so glad she is not assistant cruise director now. Was it perfect no, but is it ever. Booked for 31 days in 2026 so I think we are good.
  2. Our last cruise we were last to leave as we were on deck 4. I was thinking we would be at the back of the Opera house but we had the boxes above. Lucky us. No problems with transport. Such a fab night, that we were happy to chat while waiting. I understand things happen but we really try to go with the flow... so far every azamazing evrning has been great. Fingers crossed.
  3. Not sure if I posted about our Azamazing evening onshore, Livorno. It was at the Goldini theatre with 4 Sopranos, 9 days ago. It was wonderful.
  4. I think that's to be expected. Maybe passengers have to decide for themselves if it's worth it to go? I love that the company make an effort to do this...
  5. We have our evening in Livorno early next month. I an so glad it's back to onshore. Its at the Goldoni Opera house as well.
  6. We are on Travelmarvel in Budapest and it was cancelled late yesterday after noon. We are curious as to whether they would have known before we boarded Sunday or at least early Monday? Not a lot of help. Just told contact your insurance company and your travel agent. It's a difficult situation I know. We are from. Australia and 4 more weeks of travel after this. Hoping Munich is OK as that's where we are flying to.
  7. We are due to board tomorrow from Budapest to Amsterdam... Time will tell..
  8. Ours seems to be ashore now in an opera house. Yay they listened...
  9. Can the share benefit (OBC) still be combined with the military benefit?
  10. Wow. Very nice. There's hope for us on ours.
  11. I thought it said that they would not recommend this cabin. Something about a vent that made the balcony unusable.. Best I look again...:)
  12. Has anyone stayed in Cabin 6061 on the Onward. We are on for 30 nights so the cabin is important. Thanks, Janice
  13. That sounds wonderful... 🙂 I guess we see what the future holds....
  14. I would consider paying for the evening ashore if it was in a historical or interesting location. Its just a shame that we only just discovered Azamara... Grandma cruising that was our first Azamazing evening, so from our perspective we thought it was such a special event to put on for passengers. We have only ever experienced cultural events onboard which has been like a show... We didn't feel cold...obviously the Wadi Rum would have been amazing...
  15. We just did our first Azamara cruise to Egypt Oct'23 with an Azamazing evening in Jorden. We were blown away that a cruise line would do such a great event. Was it perfect? No, but it made us book again. It was this bonus that made Azamara stand out for us and we loved it. We have Italy Intensive coming up in Oct and its changed from Opera at the Fort (which would have been fabulous) to onboard. Not my fav. music even though I have been to lots of them, but the setting, OMG would have been great. So now we may not go. It becomes like other ships where they bring entertainers on... no difference...
  16. We only got the 5% for our October cruise but we are happy with that. What is the White night 20% discount that was mentioned?
  17. I am keen to see what is happening end of 2025 to Quest. What cruises they are replacing our cancelled Grand voyage with...
  18. Yes we got the same deal... we have red tops but no pj's... 🫢 We are spending a week in NZ.. A Big trip later this year...
  19. We are cruising VV to NZ on the 5th March. Only cruising this one, as it was a great price... Not normally our kind of ship but food reviews are good and it will be interesting to try this one...
  20. We had booked the Grand voyage which was 3 b2bs that was cancelled for more Canada cruises. Sad… Just wish they would show the cruise after the Canadian/Colonial cruise… Nov’25. Patience I guess…
  21. We were on the Journey through the Suez this last Oct/Nov 23. There was security of course, as we spoke to a couple of them. They did see some activity alongside but nothing to worry about. The talk with the Captain and top officers was reassuring with sailing at this time. A great cruise and we were so glad to get into our bucket list ports. This was not our first Suez Canal cruise but our first with Azamara. Let’s hope things improve, for all in this area.
  22. We had our match done but it only lasts till the end of 2024.
  23. We love Singapore. It's more of a local stop for Australians. Getting off a cruise wasn't a problem but that was post COVID.
  24. Whats wrong with a bit of rain... See the sights 🙂 Following along as I am on the 2024 world cruise from Australia... and enjoying
