Main courses include forest mushroom risotto, a perfectly grilled veal chop, a Venetian seafood platter or delicate dover sole. Save room for Azamara's famous desserts like marsala custard, lemon soufflé, tiramisu and chocolate torte.

Reservations are not accepted, and you have the choice of being seated at a table for two or as part of a larger group of fellow guests (which is a great way to meet new people). Discoveries Bar is also a great gathering spot for drinks before or after dinner.

Fine tablecloths and flickering candles will set the mood while a reimagined menu will be served by our professional wait staff. In addition, a self-serve frozen yogurt station - Swirl & Top - is the perfect way to conclude your meal or cool off during the day with a variety of flavors and your choice of toppings.

What are the US Passport requirements?
As of June 1, 2010, per the US State department, all United States citizens now NEED A PASSPORT to return to the United States following a cruise. To avoid problems, the cruise line will not allow you to embark without a valid passport! Don't try it because there are no refunds if you are not allowed to board the ship.
 
This is a December 2022 cruise, so you have plenty of time to apply for your United States passport, or update your non-US Passport. Non-US citizens are responsible to verify if you will need a Visa for your specific nationality.

What Gratuities are included in the gratuities and port charges
All dining and stateroom gratuities are included in your additional charges fees. This eliminates all of the envelope gratuities payments from past cruise experiences. Alcoholic beverages, soda, and coffee drinks are not included in the gratuities, therefore Century Cruises will automatically add 15% to each of your individual bar tabs.
 
Additional tips are always welcome for the crew members that go the extra mile for you, especially your bartenders and room stewards.

What are the rules of conduct on-board?
This is considered an OFF PREMISE VACATION PARTY. We want you to clearly understand the terms to which we have agreed with the cruise line to bring you this unique Lifestyles Cruise® Experience. Our hope is to continue to offer Lifestyles Cruise® charters, and with your help in adhering to the rules listed below:
 
  • Nudity will be allowed at all pool areas and spa tubs while you are on board the ship. Nudity is not allowed in any food area except the pool deck snack bars. (when docked at a port, clothing is required)
  • NO SEX in front of cruise line employees! This includes the hundreds of cameras around the ship!
  • Discretion should be exercised with public displays of affection (PDA's) Security will be strong at this event. You will be removed from the ship at the next port if you are caught having any sex in public areas! This is very embarrassing, so please don''t break the rules. Dedicated "Play Rooms"and your stateroom should be used for sexual activity.
  • Special Themed lifestyle parties will be provided at which nudity will be allowed, and one topless nightclub.
  • We always recommend safe sexual practices. Condoms will be available for purchase on the ship.
  • Please properly dispose of any used safe sex products in TRASH CANS when using playrooms. Also DO NOT flush anything down the toilets that did not come from your body or the ship supplied toilet paper. Anything else will jamb up the vacuum toilet system and your neighbors will not like you much!
  • Sexually explicit games are fun, just remember there are limits to how far you can take it when in public and being watched by the security cameras. We want you to have fun, just use discretion so we are allowed back next year.
  • For the comfort of the cruises staff, all cabin doors must be closed.
  • Under no circumstances is the ship's crew allowed to fraternize with the passengers. This is grounds for immediate dismissal of the crew member.
  • Please treat all areas with respect, just as you would in a hotel, any other public space, or even your own home.
