Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We wanted on this cruise to see new places (Greenland) and to visit a place we loved when we were RVing, namely L'Anse Aux Meadows, and the greatest restaurant in the the region, the Norseman. Since we've seen enough of Quebec, we canceled the cruise immediately.
  2. We've used cabins all around the laundry and never had a noise issue. We did Singapore to Athens earlier this year - if you want to see our trip diary, use "https://o1c.net/2023-RTW/" . Enjoy!!
  3. On Onward, there are four cabins directly behind the bridge two to port, two to starbord. We're in "8802", supposedly a P3 verandah. Has anyone done this one?
  4. Please continue your comments - we're on Onward's next leg, in cabin 8802. Twill be our eighth Azamara cruise, first on Onward.
  5. We were assigned 8802 on Onward. I'm not sure what to make of it from the deck plans. At least it's under suites, not the weight lifting area.
  6. We enjoyed the Augusta Lucilla Palace last year. Couple of blocks from Rome Termini, lots of good restaurants and trattoria. No matter where you stay in Rome, you're going to use taxis to get to where you want to be, but they're not overly expensive. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Augusta+Lucilla+Palace/@41.9000645,12.4974977,18.54z/data=!3m1!5s0x132f61a5b42bca45:0x2a48d99c2b675ea2!4m18!1m8!3m7!1s0x132f6196f9928ebb:0xb90f770693656e38!2sRome,+Metropolitan+City+of+Rome+Capital,+Italy!3b1!8m2!3d41.9027835!4d12.4963655!16zL20vMDZjNjI!3m8!1s0x132f61a5a49d66f7:0xc8c2d52d54a4cd72!5m2!4m1!1i2!8m2!3d41.900112!4d12.497746!16s%2Fg%2F1vff2p8_?entry=ttu
  7. We did Quest 5/5/2023-6/2/2023. The Wifi service was notably better than it was during our 2022 Italy cruise on the same ship. I'm told it was the change to Starlink vs the prior satellite service. No idea what Pursuit has.
  8. Currently aboard Azamara Quest, tied up for the second day of two in the port Safaga, Eygpt, on the Red Sea. Captain Johannes Tysee and his people are doing a marvelous job of keeping us happy, well-fed, and active (if we choose). The staff are the friendliest people, as they have been in the past. Food is very good, complimentary wines are modest but very drinkable Australian and NZ blends. There are about 680 persons on board, the majority being Australian, then US, then UK, then NZ and Canada. The Patio is open for almost all meals, very enjoyable in this latitude. Entertainment is by the Signature Singers & Dancers, augmented by specialists who rotate on and off at each port, providing diversity. This 23-day cruise started in Singpore, then Sri Lanka, India, Egypt today, followed by Jordan, Israel, Crete, and disembarking in Athens. We're having a fine time but have probably gained weight.
  9. Reunion is a delightful island and administrative district of France, 500 miles east of Madagascar. " Forged in the fire of two impressive volcanoes, Réunion is located 500 miles off the coast of Madagascar. The quintessential island paradise, Réunion satisfies the curiosities of even the most well-traveled explorers with its towering peaks, lush rolling hills, and thrilling new adventures and possibilities at every turn. ".
  10. My nose overfloweth. High Pollen count as trees begin spawning. Should be near 80*f this afternoon.
  11. As always, confirm with the country. They make the rules.
  12. I just discovered our AzAmazing evening is scheduled (10 May) in Colombo, Sri Lanka, for the 5 May 2023 Spice Route departure from Singapore. Looks good.
