My friend and I are thinking about booking this cruise. I have never been to New Orleans and Cuba sounds like it would be very interesting.

I am from the west coast of Florida...Punta Gorda and my friend lives on the east coast of Florida.

I was on the Quest 3 years ago. Really enjoyed it.

Just one more question.

My friend and I would like the sunny side for our TA to Barcelona. We're from Florida and like the sun.

Thanks in advance. This is such a great place to get answers, I really appreciate it!

I'm wondering if there will be Vat taxes on a transatlantic cruise from the states to Barcelona.

All the ports are in Spain and Portugal.

Thanks, Sue in Florida

I am wondering if the Equinox has the Hideaway with a coffee machine. I think it would be on deck 7.

Thanks, Sue in Florida

I am booked for the mystery dinner. Is it a 1920’s theme?

Any info would be appreciated.

Sue

Hi,

I read that you sent me the discount airline info but I didn't receive it. Checked my junk file but it's not there.

If you would send it again I would really appreciate it.

Thanks so much to whoever replies.

I park at park and go. Done it many times. If you book on line you get a cheaper rate. I think it is $7.99 a day that way.

It is very near the port. Free shuttle to and from port. They help you with your luggage. We don't drop our luggage off before we park because the traffic is heavy next to the ship.

I have been pleased with their service. Hope this info helps.

Most of the watches were very expensive. There was a day or 2 when they put out $10 things but I don't remember if there were watches. There are only 2 shops on the ship which is understandable because of the small number of passengers.

You will love Azamara !

Sue

I just got off the Quest yesterday. It was my first Azamara cruise. Everything was wonderful. I can't praise Capt. Jose Vilarinho enough. He was fantastic!!

All over the ship getting acquainted with everyone. I would love to sail with him again.

Sue

I was on this cruise too. I thought the first 2 days were rocky but never felt sick. I also never saw a barf bag or any other signs. Guess Jean and I were just lucky. Didn't realize we were in the Atlantic.

Marion B. Hope your flight home to Texas was uneventful. The porter who took our bags said the people whose cruises ended Saturday had many cancelled flights.

Marion, really enjoyed meeting you and Randy.

They were available on the vision of the sea in early January.

My 3 friends and I recently toured Athens with Paul as driver and Yiota as our guide for the Acropolis.

My friends were not happy about getting up so eary (met them at 7:30 or 8:00) but we got to the Acropolis before the hordes from the big buses. We were hesitant about walking all the way up but Yiota was great- taking it easy and stopping and talking about what we were seeing.

They gave us a great tour and I would highly recommend them.

I was in Manta in December on the X Infinity. At the market where the shuttle bus takes you we got lovely shawls for 2 for $5.00.

A friend went to Montecristi and the tour took them to a factory that made buttons (out of a nut I think?) Anyway, she got a beautiful necklace there for I think $15.00

FYI--today I went to donate blood. They asked where I had traveled. I said South America. Columbia,Peru and Chile were no risk but because I had been to Manta I could not donate blood. There is a risk of malaria there apparently. I cannot donate blood for one year. I was very surprised and disappointed.
