Another thing to remember if you happen to have the Premium package (it came with our cruise), you can upgrade to ultimate for only $7 a day, which is a fantastic deal

Whew! We had a day pass for the tram, but due to some routes closed due to construction, we still ended up walking a TON. Missed doing a rice table mainly due to google maps fails and low cell phone battery, but having not eaten all day we were famished by the time we got back to the ship. Enjoyed some excellent tapas in the Living Room and will be able to do a walk in at Aqualina tonight because it’s Destination Celebration night so low numbers there. We may or may not attend DC. Trying to decide whether to risk getting off the ship tomorrow morning for a possible quick canal tour

Pretty sure that @uktogis a Fevertree gal 😉

Just docked in Amsterdam. We are overnighting here, but due to port congestion, have to reposition tonight from the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam to the Scandia Ferry Terminal 3 (Valreep 13) until departure tomorrow. Apparently they are offering shuttles if needed. We have tickets today to both the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank House (in that order) so will have a busy day. Rice table recommendations welcome!

Yes you can!

We had a lovely Japanese themed dinner in Discoveries tonight. Preceded by an Azamara Circles event in the Living Room. So well inebriated, thank you very much!!

Arrived in Zeebrugge this morning and caught the shuttle to Blankenberge. From there we took the train to Brugge - a promotional special of 6.4 euros RT for 2, so a good deal. We had no agenda, so just walked around and found a lovely place for lunch. Going to the Azamara Circle cocktail party early this evening and hopefully will get hungry enough for dinner in Discoveries later.

Agree to a point. Still has to be better than what they call “table syrup”, whatever that is!

Had room service breakfast this morning and voila! Shocker! It’s from California, but still! I ran up to Windows and verified that the pure stuff is still not offered there.

We do not stop in Ruen. And missed the local Calvados - just as well I guess! Just did a lot of walking, visited the Maritime Museum, and had lunch along the water. Moule et frites, that we both agreed was not the best we had ever had.

@nordski! We brought our own “liquid gold!” Warm, but threatening rain in Honfleur today. No excursion planned, so we will take the shuttle into town and walk about.

Yes it does!!

White Night! Whispering Angel Rose, and sunset (sort of). Didn’t even really set until well after 10

We did indeed! It was wide open with a sign inviting guests to come in. They even had souvenirs for sale on the honor system. It was a lovely town to walk about on one’s own and it turned out to be warmer than expected. Had an excellent lunch of some local fish and took the Petit Train Guernsey for a slightly broader tour of the town.

This morning, Windows became a self-service buffet again. Up until then, one was served. Don’t know what has changed. I do know that with VERY few exceptions, the only people masked are the crew. BTW, a nice addition to the bathroom since our last cruise is a nightlight! We are tendered in St Peter Port this morning - a cool, sunny day. No excursion planned, so we will just walk about on our own.

Please see the thread Tips for Azamara Newbies for lots of great information!

Nice sea day brunch in Discoveries. Then attended a smartphone photography class. Plan on attending a Belgium destination lecture later. Tomorrow promises to be sunny, but cool, in St Peter Port. It is also White Night and we leave at 8:00 pm, so could be pretty chilly for an outdoor event! Have reservations for a late seating in Prime C this evening.

Italian Chefs Table. I had the fish, which was a little tasteless, to be honest, but DH said the beef was delicious!

Just booked another cruise to take advantage of extra OBC. Athens to Dubai October 2023. Fair price and early booking perk of an Experience More package, which for a 17 day cruise, is pretty sweet.

One of the reasons I am continuing to mask in public spaces

IMO, sales are just down

Yep!

BTW, the pastry in my last food photo, pastel de nata , is SO good. And onboard the ship last night, they were circulating with boxes of them - because Azamara 😍

Very few people other than crew are masked onboard my current Quest cruise 😟

Well, Ivi, our hotel would probably not be for everyone. We tend to go for small and inexpensive. But we liked it and they were super friendly and we could walk to some historic places. It was the Hotel Esquina Cosmopolitan Lodge. Our better heeled friends stayed at the Hotel Sofetil
