Holland America Line is introducing a Chocolate Surprise parade on board its fleet of 15 cruise ships, on the last gala night of every cruise.
No longer will guests have to make their way to the buffet and wait in line for a late night tasty treat. The after-dinner Chocolate Surprise parade will offer guests bite-size treats in the main public areas on board the ships. 
Azamara Club Cruises has unveiled a new campaign ‘stay longer, experience more’. The campaign will offer guests travelling on the cruise line’s two mid-sized ships, Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest longer stays in port, more overnight stays and new and improved shore excursions. Azamara Club Cruises has expanded its range of shore excursions from 500 to around 1,200. The cruise line’s signature ‘AzAmazing’ evenings will remain but new excursions have been added including ‘taste local’, ‘walk local’ and ‘eco local’.  AIDA Cruises is to offer its guests up to 26 different speciality coffees and teas from a new Starbucks outlet on board its flagship, AIDAprima. Starbuck already has outlets on board other cruise ships but this is the first time that the America coffee chain has opened an outlet on a German cruise ship. The drinks will be served from the Pier 3 Market on board AIDAprima on Deck 3.  Cunard Line has introduced new more expensive prices for the speciality restaurants across its fleet of three ships, with the Verandah Restaurant seeing the biggest price increase. On board the flagship, Queen Mary 2, the alternative evening dining option in the Kings Court buffet has been increased from $15.00 to $17.50 per person. The price for the alternative evening dining venues in the Lido Restaurant on both Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth has already been increased to $17.50.  During a recent dry-docking in Amsterdam, Cruise and Maritime Voyages’ Magellan underwent routine maintenance and a brand new venue was also installed on board. The new Taverner’s Pub on Deck 9 has replaced the former Scott’s Nightclub. The traditional British style pub will no doubt be very popular with the ship’s passengers. Fosters, Spitfire and Double Stout will be on draft.  |
