My husband had no problems getting antibiotic tablets and ointment from the Doctor on the ship in March when he had an infected bite on the back of his leg - cleared it up in no time.

Well,  he has better luck.  My cut bees and was an open mess..told infected but no meds.gor a better cream and drugs in Madrid. It dried up and looks better but shin and calf still sore, pain was so bad was using wheelchair  at times in the rocky seas,

Sorry to hear that you had issues with the medical team onboard. I have always found them to be extremely professional. Not sure what to make of the rest of your post and what behaviour has other guests complaining about you, but I suspect that as is often the case there are two sides to every story. 

 

Hope you get better soon.

I needed  antibodics. Got them in Spain. Leg  still in pain.seeing Dr in states. Walking with limp and in pain daily. But  not as bad as before meds.

second time I needed meds in 9 years on a ship and both times got on land.

As a long time Azamara guest I believe there is much room for improvement  on the Onward. I fell,was not given meds, got infection .

left in Spain and still have trouble walking.

plus there were some guests who disliked to me to the point they complained vs just not speaking to me. You complain on Azamara you no longer have a home after years of being loyal.Think twice before you book .

Another thing to note is that the card is needed to operate the lights and electricity in your room, so when you remove it, if you have left any devices charging, charging will cease.

 

Another potential problem is that if one person leaves the suite early in the morning and takes their card with them, when the second person wakes up, they will have no electricity!

 

I solved this issue by getting a dummy card.

What!I been in hotels like that  and get two keys.when I am out normally something charging. No one told me that. Guest I will just  get another key daily. Will pack my own tote and bring my own water bottles.

I have brought gifts for crew to use up my money.

i never buy for me in shop.i do spa.do you drink wine?

bingo..I do not play so no idea  of cost per card.

Is there a better shower for you in the gym area?

Tomfar to walk on a moving ship.and to much to carry each way

What ???

I looked into moving for a better shower. But the price to shower in a  handicap cabin,,after falling..was a stupid amount. Another couple moved into 6088..large suite ..they paid for that move big time.and I am sure they have to move  out as  ship is full or close to from Venice.

Were people who stayed onboard offered any upgrade to their cabin?

I have people next to move inna big suite. I am sure it cost a lot. I looked into a but shower as I was hurt and mine hard to use.offer was stupid just to shower.

Me as well.  I'll take music on deck any time actually as long as the band is decent.

One hour a day enough but I enjoy that hour.

we changed CDs and I notice canned music back at pool so loud that almost no one there. 

Just now, oddjob16 said:

FYI. On Quest there has been a change of band this week. Musique4Soul going on holiday and is replaced by East Pearl. 

Onward was to have Music4soul. But with Africa we lost  then in the war. They are changing bands and piano players every 4 or so werk. East Pestlok. Ut. A not compare. We all lose out.

I was just thinking about the first time I sailed Azamara and they had a guitarist singing on the sunset veranda during dinner.  It was great.  Used to have a harpist above the main lobby as well.  Both were nice additions that i haven't seen since.

That the one time I want music .between 1 and 2 while I eat. The canned crap is old .

Budget cuts ..npharpist was in discoveries bar.

If music isn't 'live,' I'd prefer not to have it.  And I don't want it 'live' on the pool deck, especially during lunch at the Patio.

Thanks-we’ve done all of that previously.

Have you gone to,Barossa for wine.

i have been in several places  more than once. Hard to guess where to send people.

Just now, wjfan417 said:

Thanks-I’ve been rethinking this cruise because I doubt we’ll be back in the area again and it is something I’m really interested in seeing. We’ve been to Sidney and Melbourne before, and we’re at each of them for around 4 days each on our B2B cruises and not interested in spending that much time in those cities.

Have done blue mts,Hunter valley,gone to,a resort on a reef to snorkel.

That is great news about Tony.

The latest news is we are short on fuel so we now get to Manila two days late. The real problem is crew..paid for flights and  hotels. My butler had not told his wife.favorite bartender acts like he not upset. But several of us would like to help out . Si I am going to write HD and HR how we can help out.

severslmguests we’re staying in hotels bd joining in HK. Not sure what others are doing but I am fitting 2.5 days into one.

this new effects crew with families ..before it was paychecks. Many crew will be cut and means no income.

Any info on how many people chose to stay on board the World Cruise around Africa?   

    Just talked to Hotel Dir on Journey who confirmed that Journey will dead-head it around Africa starting May 3

That is even worse thsn us with a few ports.everyone else gets ports . We get money but I like ports  

Funny all cruise lines have segments 

one I know either changed in India or Singapore .

great ports to Europe going in several African ports and other cool places.

What is your evidence for this, there are a significant number of other reasons why the offering is as it is. World cruisers have posted elsewhere that this includes in their view extremely generous compensation. I hope single leg cruisers are looked after as well 

We were screwed! You are not here.

everyline I know grestnports from India and for some insane reason we are going to Dubai . We are missing  great pets 

We did not get the great ports and docks that other cruiselines got. No overlands. Someone does not want to pay the dockage.

Really enjoying your reports from world cruise Bruce; we met you on Caribbean cruise January 2023 ( the Scottish couple!); just wondering if you have had update yet on the Red Sea part of your cruise - we are booked on Spice Route on Journey 3 May and still no update from Azamara. Loving your pics as well.
 

 

Nothing.i adked.all other lines thst I know people had updates to Africa and we have nothing

I was told 35$. We had two already.

we are also getting for Asia an updated Prime C menu. I am guessing for two or so weeks we are there. I read it and a wow.
