This is no surprise. Nor does it upset us. When we started crusing over 20 years ago, pierside check-in was the norm. In addition, with Azamara's ships only welcoming some 700 passengers, as compared to today's mega-ships with 4000-5000 passengers, this Azamara check-in should be a breeze. We expect that AZ employees will be giving out luggage tags at the terminal. Just be sure to put your cabin number on the tag, and you should be good to go. If the cruise staff are properly prepared for this, it should go relatively smoothly.

The Harpa Concert Hall is, indeed, an amazing facility. However, the entertainer (Greta Salome) is unbelievably talented. We saw her on an Oceania cruise in 2017. While we are disappointed that there won't be an AzAmazing Evening on this cruise, we can guarantee that you won't be disappointed with the entertainment.

I logged into my Azamara account and looked for my current shore excursions (seeing which ones showed as "Booked." ) They had been paid for with OBC at the time of booking. Then when I looked at the shore excursion pages, the excursions which I had booked showed at a lower price, but when I returned to the main page, the prices were still the original higher prices. They told me they can't be changed because we were already paid in full. This makes no sense. If I used OBC, then why can't I cancel them and rebook them at the lower prices using my OBC?

Our problem is that two of our pre-booked excursions have gone DOWN in price. Finally got through to an agent on the phone and then got an e-mail specifically stating that Azamara will NOT reduce the price from what we paid originally to the new price. I guess it works both ways.

Just wondering...are gratuities included for both Prime C and Aqualina? We dined in each last September (2022) and were unsure whether to leave a tip or not. Booked on the Journey for June 28th and would be appreciative if someone could clear this up. Thanks.

Have port shuttles been reinstated in French ports (Rouen, Honfleur, St. Malo, Cherbourg, Nantes and Bordeaux)? I cannot find this information on the Azamara website anymore. Thanks! Steve Newman Azamara Pursuit Sept. 6, 2022
