Nippy Sweetie Posted October 6, 2022 #879 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Sorry I didn't save the specific details you ask for re costs/strength etc. It's the 11 days Intensive Italy cruise. I don't know what 'level' we're on. It's our first on Azamara if that means something. We've gone from verandah to club continent suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudeljo Posted October 9, 2022 #888 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I have a question. I bid for a "better" room for my upcoming cruise on October 21. When I go to my email in which my bid is confirmed you can click the button " modify". When I click that, it's not possible to modify my bid. There's just no button to click or field to fill out. Originally I received an email that said I was allowed to make an offer (which I did) but when I open this (old) email it says I'm not eligible for an upgrade. Does anyone else have the same experience? What can it mean (couldn't find it in the FAQ)? Thank you. Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudeljo Posted October 10, 2022 #890 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Thank you, that sounds logical but on their website they claim you can modify or withdraw your bid till 72 hours before boarding. And although time travels fast, it's still 11 days to the cruise. Well, I guess I will find out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gojocruise Posted October 20, 2022 #893 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Can someone tell me how i find out how to place a bid. Is it by email invitation only? Or is there a link on the Azamara website to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is there a link on the Azamara website to do this? Jo, it's by email invitation. I believe not all category of fares/bookings (ie. interline rates, etc) qualify for an upgrade or your cruise could be full. When your receive that invitation to bid will also depend on your sail date. We've had a number of invitation emails for upcoming voyages to bid recently and they are for cruises 29 October and 18 November sailings, nothing yet for our January 7 and 24 cruises. To us it doesn't always represent good value as we always book a stateroom that we are happy with in the first place. We are indeed fortunate to be able to do that. Hope this helps you. As far as I'm aware there is not facility to lodge an upgrade bid on the Azamara website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s a link to the page on the U.K. website: https://www.azamara.co.uk/azamara-upgrade-programme If you don’t qualify you should get a message to that effect but it might just be that upgrade bids aren’t open yet.

I was unable to cancel or modify my bid. Shortly after I was advised my bid had been accepted so I would assume yours has been too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did somebody receive invitations yet around those sailing dates I was able to go to the program web page and enter my confirmation number and last name in the fields titled something like ‘lookup to see if your cruise qualifies.’ After doing this the upgrades available and minimum bids were shown. If clicked on a slider allowed bid adjustments and after a was bid entered the next page was an enter payment details page. Didn’t finish as my partner didn’t want to bid, but an email offer wasn’t needed that I could tell, though some rooms and rates may not have an upgrade available. For example, spa suites and owners suite were not available for a bid. Edited October 21, 2022 by Pizzasteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iata Posted October 21, 2022 #899 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I did try that, and it says or the bid is not started yet, or there is none on that cruise, wich seems odds. On every cruise with Azamara we were able to bid. It’s a mystery. That’s why I asked if someone on the Onward jan 05 cruise already can bid, it might be a glitch, I don’t know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
