joyride

We were on the Spain Intensive 5/31 ending in Lisbon on 6/7. We tested negative prior to flying home from Lisbon. Two days after arriving home, I was positive and then my husband was positive 2 days later. Reading these stories of being positive on board, or having to isolate in a foreign country, I feel we were so fortunate that we didn't get it until at home! It seems to me that lifting the mask requirements has maybe been a bit premature...We are both double vaccinated and double boosted. We didn't wear our masks on board, in hindsight, I wish we had.

You Azamara people are so nice and friendly! Thank you for your nice comments, I would love to meet all of you. We didn't book a future cruise because the next couple of years are sort of up in the air with my hubby close to retirement and we may relocate. If I have my way, we will definitely cruise on Azamara again. We did come down with COVID upon arrival back home, so it's been a rough 10 days for us. We are finally recovering and I'm working on unpacking from the trip. We did enjoy the cruise, very much!!!

Cabin 8050 Club Continental Suite Date 5/31/2022 Ship: Azamara Pursuit Pros: Spacious, tons of storage, comfortable bed, plenty of plug-ins for phones, laptop, etc. Awesome Butler. Quiet yet close to lifts and stairs, great location. Cons: We had the bathtub and my husband, who is 6'2" had to duck when in the tub for a shower. Better to get the CC Suite with a shower if you are tall.

I wasn't going to post about this, but after reading the recent posts I feel I should share. We were on the Pursuit May 31st Spain Intensive ending in Lisbon June 7th. We had 604 people on the ship. We did not mask much at all, but in the ports we did on public transportation, etc. On our last night in Lisbon we did an Abbott Covid test for our flight home the next day and both tested negative. Then we flew from Lisbon to Philadelphia PA and then on to San Francisco, CA. We wore our masks in the airport and planes. Anyway, we both came down with COVID the day after we arrived home. WE just today tested negative after 8 days sick. So, I don't know where we got it. We are both double vaccinated and double boosted. I'm just happy we waited until we were home so we didn't have to isolate in a foriegn county.

I have posted a review of the Azamara Pursuit Spain Intensive here on Cruise Critic reviews. Check it out!

We are on board and in our CC Suite 8050. Boarding was weird sort of. We had a boarding time of 3pm, but got here at 1:30. They gave us a sticker indicating we were in a suite, but after presenting boarding pass, vaccination cards, test result we were then seated in an area for our muster station. After a short time there, we were then boarded as a group of 8 and taken to the main dining room where they finished our checkin. Then we had our muster safety instructions for our small group, so no muster at 6 pm. We were then personally escorted to our cabin and immediately greeted by our butler. LICKING EVERYTHING SO FAR. More Later.
