jdvmd Posted October 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Thinking about an Azamara cruise in December. I know that drinks are included but is this only during dinner or is it any time? Never have been on Azamara but when we did a river cruise, we only had a choice of wine or beer during dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time, well until the bars close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newmexicoNita Posted October 31, 2019 #8 Share Posted October 31, 2019 thanks for the info. We have just booked a cruise or put it on hold for Dec 14th. It will be our first cruise on Azamara. We had thought we were through with cruising but we just got a great deal and are going with 2 other couples , one being our daughter and our travel agent. We are so excited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are going to be lots of agents on board too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is why our daughter and hubby had booked quite a while ago: they own a franchise. When the price came through a couple of days ago we just couldn't resist and I would guess everything will be top of the line with all the agents on board. Yes, we were finished with cruising and we really meant it, but as we all know, never say never: We do have some challenges but this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and a chance to go on a upscale ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nice thing about Azamara is that you don't have to pony up for a suite to get lots of extra amenities and exclusive areas of the ship. Just more in cabin space. And everyone gets treated the same. A couple of meals in the Specialties if you fancy. Phil 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost to upgrade to the Premium package is $16pppd, and the Ultimate is $22pppd discounted to $20pppd with the 10% LBV discount (not available for Premium). On that basis, we are ruling out Premium and going with the much better Ultimate package, which includes the following scotches in addition to the 'complimentary' beverages: Blended Scotch WhiskyThe Famous Grouse, Johnnie Walker Red Label, J & B, Dewar's White Label Chivas Regal 12 Years, Johnnie Walker Black Label Single Malt Scotch Whisky Glenfiddich Select Cask, The Glenlivet The Master, Destiller's Reserve, Highland Park Aged 12 Years, The Balvenie Triple Cask 12 Years, Laphroaig 10 Years, The Macallan Select Oak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks hamrag. We are Celebrity Elite with a first time booking on Pursuit out of Southampton in August 2020, I guessed it would be same arrangement.

Henk123 Posted November 1, 2019 #24 Share Posted November 1, 2019 What is also nice on Azamara: You can do the upgrade per person. You don't have to buy it both. My wifi is not a wine drinker and the included drinks are oke for her. I like the better wine and a something nice with the coffee after dinner. So I buy only for me the upgrade.

Hubby is the scotch drinker, I usually only drink red wine and martinis and I am not a judge of good reds, as long as one is dry I am pretty happy. We do have a nice OBC and am not sure how we would spend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
