Looks like cruising is finally getting back on track!

The recent CDC announcement for the US will be a game changer for most cruisers. 🙂

This is great news, but I’d caution that this CDC report is very US focused and not relevant to Azamara at the moment.  The rest of the world matters too.  Azamara ships are in Scotland just now and will then spend their time in Europe.  It’s a start though.

It will be relevant to Azamara come November though, when the Quest goes to Miami for its Caribbean cruises 🙂

Good news indeed!  We are booked on the Quest from Lisbon - Miami and can't wait to sail again.

Looking like re staffing the ships that are restarting is not going to be straightforward:
