The Windstar site doesn't mention someone being on the same cruise to get the referral OBC, maybe it changed or if I book you want me to give your name so we can both get OBC?

Thank you for taking the time to post this, I’m interested in a March crossing paired with a week in the Caribbean ⛴😃

If anyone has the specific cruises with the reduced single supplement, please post.  I know I would appreciate it. 
Enjoy your sailing ⛴

If I book the cruises I definitely will start one or two ⛴

Bear in mind that the cost of the wifi is high it is also terribly slow at best and only really good for emails and light surfing. I never take it as we are always close to land but in the case of an ocean crossing, it may be wise to pay for a package if you need to stay connected.  You may also want to only take it during the crossing portion of your itinerary, thus saving a week of costs

Yes, I think I would be ok using cellular in the Caribbean and then buying a package for the crossing.  Their WiFi costs are what other lines charged 6 years ago, ridiculous.  That’s my main concern with this line. I love being at sea, don’t need to be constantly entertained.  Do you know if they offer any back to back perks? Maybe laundry?  There in no roll call for either of the sailings, but if book it I’ll post a referral request on the main page.  
thanks again, 

Jen

You will need to find someone on the roll call for that particular cruise  who has already cruised with Windstar to sponsor/recommend you as a friend. Each person in the cabin of the referred party and the referring party gets $100 OBC

Thank you for your help.  I think I was on this ship (Star Pride)in its past Seabourn life.  The cost of the WiFi is the main thing making me hesitate from booking.  I can’t unplug for the crossing. 

Very helpful review, thanks for posting it here.  I’m considering a Caribbean paired with a Transatlantic for March.  How do I get a referral for OBC? 

Thank you for taking the time to review Edge.  Your comments were very helpful.

I just read about this situation on an AZ Facebook group.  It's pretty disturbing.  I will be boarding on Saturday and though I was happy to get a good deal on these cruises I'm now concerned that these cruises may be vastly  different than all the other Azamara sailings I've taken.  Glad you were able to salvage your Barbados day.  

I’m sailing the Journey December 7-19 B2B.  Yesterday I received an email about the excursion sale, I was able to rebook and save on all my booked excursions.  10% on one and a $5 savings on the others.  I also received a nice personalized packet in yesterday’s mail.  No information that I didn’t already know, but the packet was done very nicely.  I’ve including a few photos from the mailer.  I just disembarked  Journey   on November 21 there are no drinks on board that look like this, this is something you would get a the world class bar on Celebrity.  I appreciate that Azamara mailed me this packet, which arrived Black Friday morning.

Jenna, your memory is astonishing.  I’m so impressed by how much you were able to describe each dish without a written menu.  Dear God this is a lot of food...treadmill with me in sea days?  🤣🤣⛴

Jenna,

 Great start to the trip.  The hotel is beautiful, hope your loving Paris.

I enrolled in STEP(smart traveler enrollment program) you can customize security updates and will receive emails.

I replied to your other thread. I have tons of pictures.

I love your website.  So much great info and photos.  Thank you 

Thank you so much for posting.  The photos with the descriptions are so helpful.  This was quite an undertaking and much appreciated 

I am also disappointed as well as frustrated that Azamara didn’t share this information before final payment.

Just had a thought...Have those of you that have been given robes always found them on the bed boarding? Just wondering if on some ships they leave them as a gift on a chic night....

Robes were on the bed at boarding  Equinox August 24th sailing.

You have reminded me of the wonderful cheese selection in Murano’s! Perhaps on our next visit we will ask for a doggie bag as I struggle to manage three courses as it is!

Great idea.  We had the cheese sent back to the suite and enjoyed it so much the next afternoon that we asked Gene if he could get it that night for the next afternoon, he never said no.  Any robe update?  😃⛴

We asked for a cheese plate from Murano, Gene obliged, got us a great selection along with the yummy bread.

Every afternoon there was some type of snack left.  All were very innovation, some were better than others taste wise but I give X credit for trying something new. Thought Gene did a wonderful job.

They are grey with a terry lining but look washed, not new...no monogram...

That’s interesting 😢.  August 24th sailing we received monogrammed robes

Chemmo can you verify with the cabin steward that the bed can be split in the RS?   I'm not sure if that would be an issue for cwspy traveling with her aunt.  If it can't be split and it's an issue they certainly could use the sofa bed or request a rollaway bed.  It's a wonderful story and the RS experience will certainly be a a big surprise and enjoyed by the aunt.

 

The beds can definitely be split.  The shoreside concierge advised me they could not, once onboard our stateroom attendant said he could split them.  I communicated this to the shoreside concierge so going forward they would have current information.

its a great cabin.  Wondering if the coffee table has been replaced since we sailed(previous guests/dancing...no coffee table at beginning of cruise.  They brought in a small glass table...then a larger glass table but not large enough. We were in 1241.

 I am just curious also we are on the equinox in one month in a sky suite and wanted to know if they are still giving tote bags out otherwise I will bring my own I have a few from previous cruises . Or does it just vary from cruise ship to cruise ship ??

Received this last month on Equinox, in a suite last month.  It’s fine, but I used the old one this doesn’t have the zip top feature.  They also didn’t give it out til halfway through the sailing.

Everything on board was great, I had zero complaints.

Hope you have a fantastic cruise! I think you will find the Suite Life very sweet!

 

We board Equinox in five weeks, can’t wait!

 

Just a couple of questions...can you work out which nights are which menu in LPC? Is there a set plan, for example, first half of the cruise original then swaps over....

 

We are interested in the service levels (food and drink) on the retreat deck, particularly on port days. Other than very short port walks we do intend to enjoy this cruise as a real crash out...Also do they bring chilled towels etc round? We were so disappointed that the full Revolution did not take place but had already committed to flights etc so are determined to make the most of our experience....We just hope we don’t roast or blow away trying to enjoy!

 

Hi

 Info from the shoreside concierge on LPC is the new menu(chef and friends) is the first 3 nights, the original menu the last 4.  I think that can change on board though, I’m included the menus 

Im also so disappointed that the full Revolution wasn’t able to be done, can’t blame Celebrity on that though.

We were able to get a business fare of $1335 one way MIA/PRG and $1050 business returning from FCO/FLL. Airline websites were much more expensive. I guess it’s hit and miss with Choice Air.

 

Larry

Did you use the Choice Air website or call?  Those are the more in line with the prices I’ve been paying for the last 5 years.
