    • @Beemerider
      @Beemerider 2 месяца назад

      Hey thanks! Yes as I understand the water in that area is the same source. I should have snapped shots of the better bar menu. I believe they did have a much better selection if you got the Booze package upgrade. But yes I agree their base drinks for beer was not great and I would expect a slightly bigger variety. Thank for the comment and the watch!

    @terencedarby8905 4 месяца назад

    This is a well made video that gives a good representation of the Azamara cruise experience. I have cruised with them 10 times in the last decade (on all their ships more than once), therefore pre Covid and pre sell off by Royal Caribbean and also post covid. RC did not simply kick Az off their computer system; there was a two year notice period. Az simply failed to sufficiently prepare, and the customer service experience has been appalling. Also, to control costs, there are many small luxuries that have disappeared from the ships and changes made that a new cruiser would not be aware of. Lobster gone from the menu, feature late night buffet cancelled, Azamazing evenings now mainly held on board, massive increase in costs of additions (like drinks packages), fresh flowers gone, visiting entertainers mainly gone, and lots more. There have been senior management changes and the current ones have promised to restore some of these features. Another important point is that although the ships are comfortable, maintained and generally do not feel crowded (credit to the original design) they are 25 years old and it shows. The bathrooms are famously tiny and there is nothing that can be done about it. The decor uses quite a lot of dark wood that feels a bit like a country club but has no bling factor at all. There are too often problems with the drainage systems. They are painting over the rust, but it is still there. On the positive side, the service on board has always been very good, the food is usually good and there is a well planned range of itineraries. The decision years ago to remove the casino and create The Den was very positive. If Azamara can improve their customer service issues (and from very recent experience there is quite a way to go with that) then the future of the brand will depend on replacement ships. Are the new owners interested in that, or just going to sweat the existing old assets? We are booked again next year, but if improvement is not there we will focus on Celebrity and Viking.

    Recently picked up the 30L Overlander bag. Got confused on what/how straps connect to the bike, but Lonerider has the vids for that too. Still in the process on which method to attach the bag, horizontally or vertically on the bike rack. Rode with it yesterday without my hard side cases and it was quite liberating. For scooting around town I will use the bag. If I do long trips I will use both the hard cases and the Overlander. Quality bag. Get one. I have the security strap on order.

    Nice work overall with the balance of the itinerary destinations and ship coverage. When was this trip actually since at the 28:17 mark there is a subtitle about the line being in ownership transition which actually occurred in 2021 and the Onward was added after that around May 2022. We had an exceptional experience on the Quest in Nov 22 and found none of the adjustment issues also purported by others especially following Covid.and return to sailings. Looking forward to more of your cruise adventures!

      the actual tradition of ownership came into effect in 2023 and from what I understand, on the specific day that the transfer took effect, the Royal Caribbean original parent co. basically switched off the web site and all of the info about every booking following that date went into the ether. that's the basic understanding we have. anyway, the cruise was End of Sept into October 2023.

Many office staff chose to stay with RC, and Az made a complete mess of their new IT platform. Old bookings and loyalty points were lost. New web site did not offer many needed features (just try selecting a specific cabin on a new booking - it’s not possible on line). Phone response became almost non existent, although it has now improved. And getting errors corrected is a nightmare.

    I would NEVER travel on Azamara again. We went on an Azamara ship pre Covid and had already booked another when Covid hit so the cruise got cancelled and we got a refund an a future cruise credit. Azamara was then sold. We booked to go this year and received notification that we had the cruise credit and a promotion giving us $300 shore excursion credit, free Wi Fi and enhanced drinks package. When we tried to book a shore excursion through our travel agent we were told we only had the $300 dollar on board but nothing else even though we had it in writing. We cancelled the cruise and have written twice to Azamara to complain but have heard nothing.

      Yes that's totally unfortunate. The issues I talk about near the end were from the same time I think. And to this date, we still have not been recognized for our previous status on Royal Caribbean/ Celebrity. We were told that our status would move across to Azamara after the sale. however one that was done, they simply just never responded and calling would only connect with a person that has no control over that. Like I said, there were and could still be issues however. once we were on the ship. we did have a lovely time overall. Thanks for the comment and good luck wit future travels.

    People considering Azamara, note that when you sign up for a tour through the ship ask if you will join other groups. Part of the advantage of small ship cruising is not be treated like cattle. It is a shame when you take the small bus to join the lager bus. You lose some of the magic of small ship cruising.

    • @Beemerider
      @Beemerider 6 месяцев назад

      I agree with what you are saying for sure. I had not actually considered that the larger bus might be multiple tour groups. I assumed we were all from the ship and in this case, I think it was all from the ship. I think it was the general busy nature of the attraction that we found was the situation at every attraction in Italy. Good point though it may be worth asking how many are on the excursion etc. Thanks so much for watching

      @@Beemerider I suspect that the new owners made the change. The new owners are a private equity firm. I have only once ever did a "cruiseline" tour, and it was because you could not get off the ship otherwise. But usually I hear from other passengers on small ship cruise lines that the group size is small and they complain when they are merged. I normally do my own thing in port. It is a well done video. I am considering an ocean crossing on the Azamara Onward and wanted an updated perspective. Thanks for the great video. I have not been on this boat since Azamara bought it. I have been on it, when it was the Pacific Princess. I took it from Los Angeles to Sydney. If like small ships, try some of the other brands. I think right now Azamara is the best value in this segment.

      Our Celebrity cruise was in 2018 so not really a fair cost comparison. However I can say that our cruise for the 2 of us was under 6k CAD. (almost exactly the same we paid for the cruise on Reflection in 2018. this included $900 USD of OBC. That said, I don't believe you could book the same Azamara cruise or any cruise for the same rates as when we booked a year and a half ago. Overall, I feel that celebrity cruise was impressive for us since it was our first cruise and we felt the specialty dining was better at that time on celebrity. The Azamara food was all Good to very good with a reasonable selection. If you are vegetarian I would hands down suggest Azamara. Very different experiences though and we much prefer the Azamara feel with the lack of lines and waiting. Hope this helps

    We were part of the World Voyage group cruising on the Azamara Onward. We left Fort Lauderdale 1/5/2024 and ended our trip in Barcelona 6/9/2024. It was a fabulous experience on a wonderful ship. Sure, there are always a few pre-trip bumps, but once you board the ship, you can relax and enjoy the experience. One of the strengths of Azamara are the crew members. Crew members are treated well and work hard to ensure you have a good travel experience. At the end of a long day off the ship, it is wonderful to be greeted with "welcome home" when you return. This was our first Azamara trip, and we have already booked another trip in 2025!

I dreamt of trying solo camping on the motorcycle so that is what I’m set out to do. But I need to figure something out for total of 400/500 euro including camping gear. And it’s possible, just not at a premium. I’ll probably start with some Rhinowalk gear and in the meantime I will stick to the give aways from Lone Rider!

    Enjoying the video footage and especially those photographs. Excellent! Pity about the drone. But a word of advice - it's "DERRY" and not L*****Derry - can be irritating to us Irish ;-) (Sort of like calling an American a Canadian and vice-versa). The thing about Ireland is that you can do soooo much in a day on a motorcycle and visit loads of places. Unlike the USA where everywhere is hundreds (or thousands) of miles away. Our touring group travel all over Ireland and can be back home after each day trip.

    Hi there, thanks for the video! it gives a good look of the bag. I've a question about it. When it's mounted on the back of your bike, can you still open your side panniers? or do you need to take of the bag before you can open it? I have a F850gs an am looking for a bag on the back besides the side panniers. that's why I ask :). Thanks in advance!

    • @Beemerider
      @Beemerider 9 месяцев назад

      Hi, So the 30L for sure you can open them on my 800. I'm using Jessie Panniers and they hinge open outwards and there is no problem opening. The 45L does make contact but usually I'm able to just lift the bag a tad and the hard case can open without issues. The 45 is much more useful for long trips I keep camera gear and my clothes etc. and use the hard panniers for my camping gear. I am finding and the smaller one is great for day trips etc. Hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions. I usually check in every week or so. Thanks for watching! Keep the rubber on the road.
