nonrev1 Posted February 11, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I want to say I am sorry - we are having such a great time that we are not going to leave the ship when we dock in Singapore. So - if you are booked in our cabin for the cruise departing on Feb. 19 .....you will have to make other arrangements. ;) The cruise is wonderful and I can not say more than enough about the crew. This is an amazing cruise! Lauri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an amazing cruise! Lauri Lauri When I last looked there were only one balcony and one owners suite left on the 19 Feb cruise so you may find that staying on board causes a little problem! Glad you feel like this, though, as we are getting on as you are [supposed to be] getting off. I do know how you are feeling because, when we all [the whole ships passenger, officers and crew, I think!] met in the theatre to say goodbye on our previous Quest cruise, Captain Leif suggested he turned the ship around and headed back to Singapore. Everyone agreed and it was only the certainty of loosing his job if he did that made him carry on to Athens. How is the weather on this cruise? Are conditions "average" for the time of year or are you experiencing any abnormal weather? Hope you continue to enjoy your cruise. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an amazing cruise! Lauri Hi Lauri ! Thanks for your update. I'm happy to hear you are having a great time onboard Quest. I'm certain the Guests who are booked in your Cabin for the next sailing, are going to demand their Cabin.... so good luck keeping it :) For me... It's always such an exciting time, the few days & weeks before your Cruise, and the first few days of your Cruise. It's when I am my happiest. As the Cruise heads towards the last few days, it gets somewhat disappointing. One way I deal with this, is to try to book another Cruise while onboard, so I have something to look forward to. We hope to hear more about your voyage, when you return home. Enjoy the rest of your Cruise ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizonasunshine Posted February 11, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Glad you enjoyed your cruise. We were on the cruise before yours and felt the same. We stayed over a few days in Hong Kong and were eating dinner at a restaurant overlooking Hong Kong Harbor when the Quest sailed away. I have a great picture of your sail-away.

nonrev1 Posted February 12, 2011 Author #5 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I will definitely report back when we return. The cruise is going by so fast. Many people thought we were crazy arriving in HKG for the New Year and traveling during these weeks. Honestly, it has been the best experience. HKG was crazy - but, what a way to experience the city! We arrived a few days before we boarded and experienced the parade, fireworks and several of the dragon performances. As for the weather, it has been perfect. No rain ( so far and I am knocking on wood), smooth seas and tolerable heat. HKG was a bit cool, DaNang was perfect, Saigon was about 90 for the high. Yes Andy, I think we will have to take your advice and book another cruise before we leave. That will be the only way that I will feel better. Oh - we had dinner in Aqualina last night. Yum! It was fantastic! If anyone reading has 7051 next week....we will relinquish it unwillingly! Happy travels all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MVPinBoynton Posted February 12, 2011 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2011 You are in good company. The Quest is a most enjoyable cruise and not one that is easy to leave. Enjoy the rest of your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann ns Posted February 13, 2011 #7 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Phew! We are not in 7051. It would not be pretty if you were still there on March 5 back in Hong Kong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonrev1 Posted February 19, 2011 Author #10 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Well, they did make us leave. ;) What an amazing cruise. I can not say enough about the officers and the crew. There was no one that we spoke with that did not love the ship and Azamara. There was not one person that said "no". Everyone went out of their way to make this a special trip. It was a pleasant change from some other cruises where we found quite a few unhappy employees. My husband said he can never go on another line again. I have so many positive things to say - but, I did have one negative and it was the coffee. They are very aware of it onboard and even brought on someone to fix the machines in Bangkok. They said that over the past weeks, the comments about the coffee have gotten pretty bad so they knew something was wrong. ( Maybe one is better..still not good) I am not a coffee expert or snob - I just like coffee and it was not good. It is not a make-it or break-it item for me.....just the only area that I thought they could improve upon. We did have the Azamara VP, the head of Marketing and phtographers onboard during the trip. We are in Singapore now waiting for our hotel room, so I thought this would be a perfect time to check in. I will write more and will be happy to answer any questions when I return.

Project_gal Posted February 20, 2011 #11 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Lauri Just as well you got off because we are bursting at the seems this cruise! No, seriously, the ship is full but it is not crowded. Philip is still on board and looking after us wonderfully. Not sure about Goram because we have not eaten in the MDR.
