SpeedNoodles Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 I found my newest bucket list cruise. We're trying to figure out a way to do this one (hopefully it'll be offered in 2022) https://www.azamara.com/voyage/pr12u218/12-night-ireland-intensive-voyage JLMoran, GT1, WAAAYTOOO and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLMoran Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Very nice! Do you have Diamond status with Royal so you can get equivalent on Azamara? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will by the time we can book this. We have cruises planned through Jan 2022, so we're planning on doing an Ireland itinerary in 2022.

Yes, here is a screen shot from Azamara's FAQ covering the reciprocal match: As you can see, Azamara offers more matching options if you have status on Celebrity than they do for status on Royal, including matching the very top tiers. Be aware that the match is one-time only and they don't just magically give you the points on the line you match over to; you still start at zero with the new line and have to earn the full points necessary for the next level above what you matched to. So if you are close to Diamond on Royal, or close to Elite / Elite Plus on X, it is generally better to reach that level first and then notify X or Azamara of your status to get the match, even if are about to book something with the other line. That's particularly important with Royal, where it's so easy (in comparison) to reach Diamond and then get matched over to Elite / Discoverer. I'm having to "deal" with this right now with my August sailing on Celebrity. I'm still 7 points away from Platinum on Royal, so I have no matching status available at all with X. But even if I could get to Platinum before then through a cheap 7-night cruise, I'd still hold off until I hit diamond so I could go straight to Elite match.

GT1 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Outstanding. I have been researching possible cruises to Ireland for some time. This looks amazing. I am a long-time House of Waterford collector but have never toured their factory in Waterford. This certainly would resolve that. AS I previously stated, we have completed many cruises, however, our first with Royal Caribbean is approaching . Reading posts by you guys heightens the anticipation. Knowledge is everything.
