cruisercon Posted October 11, 2020 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Cruise Critic Due to work deadlines during this time of quarantine, we were delayed in posting photos from Azamara’s inaugural Cape Town 1/21/20 cruise on board the Quest. However, they can finally be viewed at www.dickseebachphotography.smumug.com. Click on Galleries, scroll down to Africa/Egypt. Hope the photos bring some joy and recall fond memories of what makes Azamara so special. We did the Azamara pre-cruise Safari through Micato. It was worth every penny – truly one of the best travel experiences we have ever had. Kudos to Carina, from Azamara, who joined us on this inaugural collaboration between Azamara and Micato, and to George Meyer, our safari director from Micato, assisted by Heather and Sid. Over these last months of uncertainty and disruption, we think often of the staff and crew from Micato and Azamara and hope they are doing well and will be able to resume serving passengers in the near future. We also think of Larry Pimentel, under whose watch this collaboration was started. We decided to take advantage of being in Africa and traveled to Egypt where we boarded a Nile river cruise with Uniworld. Again, their staff and our Egyptologist were outstanding. We were the second to last Uniworld Egyptian cruise, flying home on 2/13. Little did we know when heading home, that this would be our last trip for a while; we count ourselves as fortunate to have been able to do it savoring the memories until the next time. Maybe a peek at some of our other travels with Azamara will tide you over and satisfy your wanderlust until we can all start sailing again. Perhaps our paths will cross.

I do know there is a smugmug photo hosting site (though I've never used it). I'll wait to try it until you advise (those warnings always scare me LOL) Just thinking others might have run into the same problem when trying to view, thanks! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisercon Posted October 12, 2020 Author #4 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Thanks for catching that - my error, a typo. The link should be: www.dickseebachphotography.smugmug.com. Copy and paste into your browser; I don't think you will be disappointed in that there are many photos of the ship which hopefully will bring back fond memories.

SeaHunt Posted October 13, 2020 #5 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I thought that might be the problem! 😊 And am I ever glad I asked instead of bypassing because OMG your photos are SPECTACULAR, simply the best! I hope everyone takes the time to check them out - I know I am going to savor them and really look at all the details! Thanks so much for posting them, and answering my question. Woohoo!

Grandma Cruising Posted October 13, 2020 #6 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I had the same problem, but managed to see your photos today using the new link. They were great and took me back to the various safaris we have done in Kenya & Tanzania. Thanks for posting about them. It looks as if you had a wonderful time.

Werangels Posted October 14, 2020 #9 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I loved looking through those. We should have been doing much the same itinerary in December, so it was lovely to see so many of the things we planned to do. The large pool table by the way is a snooker table. Thank you.

silkismom Posted October 16, 2020 #11 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Is it just me or does the statue of Rahotep in the museum remind you of Freddie Mercury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capsplace Posted June 8, 2021 #12 Share Posted June 8, 2021 OMG! We are booked on the same itinerary later this year. As another commented, it looks to be truly overwhelming and we are so eager to enjoy the experience. Thank you for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelinjudy Posted June 9, 2021 #13 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Thank you so much for your incredible photography. Though your video and photos I relived our Micato safari that we took in 2019 after our cruise on the Quest to Africa. It was so wonderful that we are returning to Africa this year on the Pursuit and taking another safari this time-(-with another company.) I agree with you, though. Micato is a luxury class company and the staff, services and experiences they provide are second to none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelinjudy Posted June 10, 2021 #14 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Sorry I screwed up the dates😱 --it was January 2020 for us, as well. But we did the post cruise Safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acruisergirl Posted June 10, 2021 #15 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Thank you for posting the beautiful photos, they brought back wonderful memories. We were on the Quest cruise from Mumbai to South Africa in 2020 and also enjoyed a similar safari and Victoria Falls trip. We would go back in a heartbeat.
