Thanks CurlerRob and OneSixtyToOne for the info, I am a non Veggie so would enjoy most of the menus but my other half is strictly Vegetarian. We may skip eating in The Chefs Table but will speak to The Maitre D'i when we are on board next month.

Are there any alternative Chef's Table menu items available for those guests who vegetarian?

We on on Pursuit, the Tenerife Amazing Evening in Santa Cruz was a highlight of the cruise and very memorable. We were b2b and the following week in Malaga the Amazing Evening was an onboard performance by a local Flamenco group. Very professional but the "experience" was not a patch on the previous week which one presumes cost Azamara a lot more to put on. Some inconsistency in what Azamara delivered there.

Pool and hot tubs are open, breakfast in buffet from today (Tuesday) is self serve, all bottles of the S African and water from other African countries taken out of room and replaced with Spanish variety. Not sure about laundry, two days ago we left our laundry with a very efficient person in the laundry and she had it returned to us the same day, all nicely cleaned. The Captain has not made any health announcements, ie wash your hands since the day we boarded so with a bit of luck things are returning to normal. The Captain and his senior officers were out greeting guests before last nights show which is a good sign. We have met guests who were on the previous cruise from Africa and are still suffering unfortunately.

Anyone know if a three night package is purchased pre cruise and you are on a b2b cruise, can the three nights be spread across both legs of the cruises?

Was there a Carolyn De Mont as assistant CD?

I have just spoken to Oceania UK about pre purchasing a Select Package, there used to be a discount for pre purchasing, apparently they no longer can apply this and the price would be the same as doing it onboard, it could possibly be cheaper if you are entitled to a discount due to your Oceania Club level, this can only applied onboard according to the representative I spoke to. Does anyone know if they still have a happy hour with two for one priced drinks and cocktails?

Morning, CruiseMapper shows Dawn berthed at the QE11 terminal.

Spirit of Discovery can be seen on Good Morning Britain today at Tilbury Docks today. They were doing an article on Windrush and SOD had just arrived at the docks. ITVx app can show the program on replay.

Full payment due today 30th April, it's 120 days before embarkation.

Pleased to see Azamara website health section shows pre cruise testing NOT needed for Athens. Good news!

Has anyone had experience of testing in Piraeus, Celestial cruises are recommending Bioiatriki healthcare group who have two sites near the port and they say appointments are not necessary.
