The Salties Posted August 11 #1 Share Posted August 11 Seeking advice/comments. My DW and I do not require the drink package, wifi or the trips credit. We managed to get a price with a travel agent without these. Apparently when it came to booking it the system did not allow it to continue. I personally would much prefer a cheaper base price or onboard credit. The current one certainly does not encourage us to book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Cruising Posted August 11 #2 Share Posted August 11 Then perhaps wait to see what the next promotion is 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it’s too early on Sunday for me. if the system does not allow the booking to continue, then your TA would pick up the phone and talk to Azamara. Unfortunately, in the past, this has taken an hour or so, so I hope your TA has a lot of patient (things may have improved). Promotions come and go. Sometimes, the promotions only include OBC and no drink packages or wifi. However, the prices go up and down. You can wait until the price is what you want to pay but the cabin you want may not be available. Many of us book azamara while onboard to get the onboard bonus then reprice it later on if we find a better price ( at least for US folks). Good luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Salties Posted August 11 Author #4 Share Posted August 11 I am sorry you did not get it, I have booked in the past without the add ons and was seeking advice if anyone has done it recently, ie: since the web changes. I will not go into the chat about booking then cancelling as it only costs you $75 and we have to pay £500. This has already been well aired on previous chats by others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdowney Posted August 11 #5 Share Posted August 11 We also do not value the current promotion very highly because we have little use for the drinks package. Being in the US, we booked anyway and hope for a better promotion later. However, since we booked last month, the price of our balcony cabin has gone up about $1400 per person. It will take a price cut or a really good promotion to offset that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I was raised, you should take up drinking "because it's free"! 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got better wine with the package, it would be a different story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got better wine with the package, it would be a different story. Well, since you have the basic package (which doesn't improve the wine by itself), you can upgrade to the top level (which does include better wine) very cheaply. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiedisneyfan Posted August 12 #9 Share Posted August 12 Azamara consultant told me the current earlybird bonus ends 21/8, you could wait and see what comes up after that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
