Loyalty Program Update?

[uktog]

No respect the travel agent priviledges unless Bonnie wants to tell us herself

[laurieb]

Ok; I will just tell you that I think you’ll be pleased; I think that Azamara has listened 

[tgg]

Could be, who knows? There's something due any day I will know, right away soon as it shows.
It may come cannonballing down through the sky gleam in its eye, bright as rose.
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach, under a tree

I got a feeling there's a miracle due gonna come true, comin' to me
Could it be, yes it could
Something's comin', something good
If I can wait
Something's comin' I don't know what it is
But it is gonna be great.

[AlbertasRose]

Well, Azamara just changed the name from LeClub Voyage to Azamara Circles on Facebook.  That's probably the extent of the major changes! lol

And here’s the big rollout...

It is protocol that we share with our Travel Partners first, so that we can support each other's efforts. As of today, the statement I have for you is below.

I see that Travel Professionals on this site are as excited as we are and want to be the first to share. Tomorrow I will be here to answer questions for you if your TP is unavailable. 

Bonnie

 

"We’re excited to share the details of our enhanced loyalty program with everyone. However, the loyalty email that went out today was sent to travel partners first in an effort to inform them of the new program enhancements and help them better prepare to support our valued loyalty guests with any questions. We will be sharing all of the details with loyalty members tomorrow, February 26^th, via email as well as on our website. Please stay tuned."

Hmmph... if based on the link above is all there is, guess I had my hopes set higher.

Couldn't resist  😊   . . . .

Around the corner,
Or whistling down the river,
Come on, deliver
To me!

Quelle surprise!

So I'm now a member of a circle rather than a club?  I think that's the sum of the new news to me 😆

That's it? 

 

There is no additional benefit for us.

We've been Top Cruiser but have yet to use our Tiffany leather luggage tags embossed with the Azamara name and logo.

All Platinum Plus members get free WiFi regardless of cabin category. Isn’t that new?

[tgg]

Oceania, Viking, and Regent have "free" unlimited wifi for all passengers.

[baytraller]

Top Cruiser change to number of nights

 

Maybe there has been a tie for Top Cruiser, it is unlikely they would have the same number of nights

This will save Azamara one Tiffany prize

 

But WAIT!! We did 3 B2B cruises in October and were Top Cruises twice

The first time two Tiffany glasses - the second time an empty Tiffany bag

We were told you only receive one prize a year

 

As for giving more guests a better chance to win

Our average nights per cruise in very high 11

And it's not a magic one.

I for one am happy that we’ll now have more than one bag of laundry a week.  We’ve all been complaining about that for a very long time.  Geesh it’s a move in the right direction

Cue Peggy Lee:

 

Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is…

No "enhanced" benefits that I can see for "Discoverer Plus" members who choose to sail on a lower deck. 🤔

Yes, we've all been complaining about that for a very long time.  But for those of us in inside, oceanview, or "regular" balcony cabins, it's still one bag. Sure we can afford a second bag.  But those who have sailed with Azamara from their beginning remember a more generous loyalty program.

They removed $300 OBC when you book onboard during first half of the cruise. In small caracters, it's written  [ Guests will receive a US$200 onboard credit (OBC) per stateroom, which will be applied to the future cruise ], they don't say a word about $300., disappointing!

I always though that the extra $100 making it $300 obc was if you booked in the first half of the cruise (at the discretion of the LCV Manager), I could be wrong.

Where is this?

 

Currently online the $300 is still there for booking early in the cruise :

At least for the lower tiers up to the suite or platinum we'd love to see internet minutes per week rather than voyage.  i.e you currently get the same amount of internet minutes on a 7 night cruise as you do a 24 night cruise, but that would be too simple...but fingers crossed for the official word.
