Very helpful tourist board reps were onboard when we were in Belfast a few days ago.

We're currently on a B2B2B on the Quest. The last leg didn't have the same cabin available, but I called Azamara and waitlisted it and it cleared a few months later.

We’ll still be on for that cruise also and will probably purchase a few bottles in Bordeaux and Spain!

Our current voyage on Quest has been one of the best. Officers and staff have been wonderful, food has been great, Captain Johannes has been very visible. Only complaint is the quality of the wines (both included and in the ultimate package). They’re out of the Sokol Blosser Pinot noir that’s supposed to be in the ultimate package and are substituting Cavit, which retails for about $15 a magnum at home.

We did that on our April cruise and they also gave us the loyalty discount off the $7 per day cost.

When we were in Seville on Quest in April they had flamenco dancers on board forAzAmazing Evening.

I saw someone being walked out of Discoveries on the Quest 2 nights ago because he was wearing shorts.

It should be. We took a tram to our hotel from Central Station. Diana

Train from airport into Amsterdam is very easy. You can buy 2-3 day transport tickets that include airport train and trams/metros/buses in the city from machines in the airport train station. Diana

When we were on the April Quest cruise with you, I noticed that you could view the menus on the TV for 3-4 weeks at a time. Diana

We really didn’t have any contact with staff. We just headed to the baggage claim/departure hall as soon as we were off the plane. The only person we had any interaction with was when we had to show our passports.

We got through the airport today with all luggage making it-took less than an hour from landing to leaving airport.. Very easy to take the train from the airport to the city and transfer to the tram to get to our hotel. Diana

Thanks-that’s what I’d been planning to do. Our hotel is only a a couple minutes walk from Muntplein. Any problem with luggage on the trams?

$ is why we didn’t stay at The House either!

We arrive Friday morning. How did you get from the airport to central Amsterdam?

We stayed at Treasure Beach in December. It’s an all-inclusive resort-part of Marriott’s Elegant Resorts brand. Very small-not a lot to do other than swim in the ocean or small pool. Other hotels that were recommended on SeaDream’s board when I had asked for recommendations there were “The House” and “Little Arches”. Diana

US website still shows $10 also!

In April we stored our bags at hotel and walked around.

We are in the same cabin for all 3 cruises. Looks like our only issue might be timing of the shore excursion we’re on the day prior to our first turnaround. We’re on a shore excursion from 8-4:30 and the ship sails at 5. Hopefully they schedule the meetings after everyone is back on board.

I know this has probably been answered somewhere already, but I've been searching for hours and can't find easily. We are doing 3 cruises on the Quest beginning August 8. I put 2 p.m. as our check-in time for each cruise. Does that matter when we are re-boarding the ship? We want to do some sightseeing on the turnaround days, so I don't want to have to rush back for a 2 p.m. check-in time. Diana
