We are on the 1455 Glasgow flight and intend to book the tour for flights after 3pm.  I doubt 5 minutes will make a big difference.

They will send a form round pre departure if it is their usual trip plus airport drop off - make sure you say the flight time is 1500 🙂 

Also have a plan B the last three times we have booked that excursion in various end points it has been cancelled and then you are left a little stranded.

Are you allowed on shore independently or must we take ship's tours? We are joining Journey on the 18th.

Currently there are no requirements to use a ship excursion in the Canaries.  We plan to make our own arrangements for each port.

Currently onboard Quest heading from Miami to St Thomas, first day at sea.  Hotel Director currently is Ngawhira.  Have not seen her yet.  Have heard Ryzard may be joining this cruise….may be just a rumor….not sure.

Boarding and testing went well.  Was never asked for our bar code.  Not sure why we obtained one?  but that’s ok.  
 

Lots and lots of sea day activities!  While other cruise lines may have cut back on activities staff, there seems to be plenty here. Last nights entertainment was a pianist and orchestra.   It was enjoyable and so nice to hear live performers again.  CD Danny Turner and assistant CD is Tanya. She performs tonight.

 

Weather is warm, but very windy.  Tonight is Captain’s toast.

Don't miss Tanya's show, she is great! 

Agree 100%. She is very talented. Danny’s show will also be good. He’s not the showman that Eric and Tony are but he’s got a very pure voice

For those on the Canaries voyage, what is the ship's testing protocol for the Madeira port of call?  And are they allowing for independent excursions?  Thanks!

 The rapid antigen test used for boarding yesterday will hold good for Madeira, paper copies delivered to rooms overnight. Yes we’re allowed ashore independently. About 320 passengers aboard and 230 of us from the UK ! It is so good to be on board Azamara again, actually quite emotional 😀😀😀

That's great!  I think Azamara was saying originally that Portugal might not allow independent excursions.  Are any of the activity areas / food options closed with the reduced capacity?
