laurieb Posted April 3, 2022 #101 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I don’t think they’re necessarily doing it to create another revenue source. It might be to draw or keep some younger cruisers. Lots of competition out there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island Travelers Posted April 3, 2022 #102 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Did anyone see or care that the sunset bar is now the sunset veranda. I wonder if they took the bar out. Always like sitting back there with a drink to see the sunset. Edited April 3, 2022 by Island Travelers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is the bars were put on Journey and Quest when they were owned by Celebrity and were very expensive to install. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree there’s lots of competition but I’m not sure Azamara has fully identified what game they want to play. There’s also lots of younger guests who like Azamara as it is because it’s not aiming to be what it’s not. Anyway time will tell but Onward has lost revenue from us in December- we will do something else to renew our vows at another time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LT Hambone Posted April 3, 2022 #105 Share Posted April 3, 2022 My theory, and my theory only, is that the Drawing Room was a vastly underused space. I noticed on our cruise everyone was hanging out at either the Den or the Living Room, and the Drawing Room was empty. Combined with the fact there isn't a Sunset Bar (our favorite spot to unwind with a drink after a long day of sightseeing), Azamara is just looking to re-use a space with something that is lacking (Onward had ne less bar). Just my opinion, your will vary! As long as they keep the Swirl and Top, I'm good! Are you listening Azamara? Keep the Swirl and Top! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had an endless loop of piped in music on the pool deck during our Christmas cruise that drove me batty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an issue in the Living Room. I've been in there in the morning and the music is left on from the previous night by the DJ I would guess. Trouble is he's been playing at high volume all night so even the lowest volume is still too loud. I now know how to sort it out 😉 Phil 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you will will make your cruise. We are on the Onward in October doing a back to back to back! We have never sailed with Azamara. Have you? If so would appreciate info on what to do on board in the evenings. We usually sail RCI and Celebrity. We are in Massachusetts and I thought I would reach out to a fellow New Englander. Would also love pictures of ship when you are on board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last cruise being on Pursuit in 2019. While we do go to some evening entertainment, for us it is mostly destination cruising. Early to bed and off the ship as early as we can to tour on our own. I’m sure lots of photos will be posted. I’m also sure you will enjoy the smaller ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
