  1. Hi all!

     

    Received an upgrade last week; completely flabbergasted as we were 38 days away from sailing and I had only put the bid in (aka was only offered it) 3 days before getting the happy email. Plus we've never sailed on Azamara before, and I put in a weak bid (converting US to CAN currency is brutal). Details:

     

    Tier: Adventurer (1st cruise with Azamara) 

    Cruise: 12 Night Baltic Cruise 

    Date: July 29, 2019 

    Original room: Oceanview 

    Upgrade to: Veranda (turned out to be V2, mid-ship after being way forward in OV!) ($? per person minimum bid; I just don't remember, sorry) 

    Initial Bid June 21st: $200 per person ($400 per cabin )  

    Bid Strength: Weak 

    June 24: Success email! Final price $400

     

    I'm not sure why we were successful, given our particulars, but it goes to show that there's no reason not to put in a bid, even a weak one, and with no previous sailings on Azamara.  You just never know.  Needless to say, we're thrilled.

    Thanks for that Rabo - I’ll amend the spreadsheet. It doesn’t say that USB plugs are prohibited, so I’ll leave that in. We’ve always taken one, usually in our carry on bag, and never had a problem.

    Thanks as well, and sorry for the clunker tip!  I had no idea, and you just saved me some much-needed luggage space.

    Good tip. I have added it to the spreadsheet. I’ve also added my own tip, which is to bring a multi USB plug. Wherever we go on holiday we take a 4 USB point plug so we can easily charge all our devices (2 phones, 2 Kindle’s and an IPad).

    Great!  Also, newer power strips incorporate USB ports, so you can do a twofer.

    Yes, standard cabins have a British socket too on Pursuit, but not on Journey or Quest.  Just one euro and two US.  There are also two US style on all ships in the open cabinet above the safe.

    Not sure if anyone has posted this as a tip (I'm on page 9 of 16, reading for the first time) but I always bring a power strip with me on cruises and to hotels.  Usually don't even need the second North American plug then as I've got plenty on the strip.

    Azamara showers are very small, with shower curtains. We now bring magnetic clips to stop the shower curtain from billowing in. I bought them on Amazon

    Great tip.  Link to the clips please?  Not sure what to purchase.  Thanks!
