I just read a couple of news articles. There has been a change in policy. Travelers with COVID are no longer required to quarantine in their hotel rooms. They may also use all forms of public transportation. here is the article. https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/news/greece-announces-new-rules-for-tourists-infected-with-covid/ …The same notes that in line with the new protocols, travellers in Greece will be able to choose if they want to remain in self-isolation for the number of days that they have booked, meaning that those who do not want to will not be obliged. Apart from the above-mentioned, it has been explained that tourists infected with COVID-19 will also be able to access ferries, planes, and other forms of transport. However, they must wear an FFP2 or a KN95 face mask the entire time.… i am very surprised considering the rising numbers of the latest highly contagious variant. I wonder what implications will be for cruising.

The September Windsurf 10 day Greek islands cruise is strictly “call for availability “. I am guessing it will go out full.

This is really useful information. Thanks for posting

I have been spending time jotting down cabin remarks in order to aid choosing a cabin for us and several family members who will be traveling with us. I thought I might as well post this for others new to this ship. It was super useful to read about the potential for smoke smell as I have asthma. The good people on the Azamara thread have an amazing spreadsheet going. I was not looking at suites so that info is not in there. If others would like to add to the list, please do. 107-convenient 107-good and rebooked for next cruise 110-my mom says it was fine; could get to elevator when sea doors closed 114-good 122-noise from what may have been stabilizer 124-good x 2 128-comfortable 129-no noise 129-smoother in rough seas 130-quiet 134-good x 3 135-good 136-good 140-comfortable x 2 140-no issues from someone who had other issues 147-perfect 150-this and forward cabins may smell smoke in hall 155- ok only one night stand 155-sewer and smoke smell 157-may smell smoking 217-comfortable 223-no noise good 224-excellent 225-comfortable 233-tender noise 235-excellent 238-good 238-midship good for rough seas 243-quiet 267-very quiet midlevel 2-no motion
