Must be Fleet Week in Civitvatacchia as we are surrounded by at least eight Italian Navy warships including an aircraft carrier. Feeling safe on Onward. n

Bon Voyage!🛳️🍾

It was a beautiful day in Sorrento, Italy. We had a private tour that took us to Pompeii, a winery for lunch and to Herculaneum. I’ll post the pics separately of Herculaneum so it doesn’t get confused with Pompeii. It definitely is summer and tourism is booming. Tonight we have opera singers onboard as we sail toward Rome. The winery was a beautiful venue with grand views of Vesuvius and the Aegean Sea. Time to meet friends for cocktails followed by dinner. Thanks for reports. These busy port days hasn’t given much time for keeping up with The Daily. Bruce

Stromboli Volcano at sunset. Precious!

Captain Carl Smith unless he’s being relieved.

We are at sea on our way to Sorrento. As of noon we have traveled 37,900 Nautical miles since leaving Florida. Need to spend some OBC or lose so we will check out the shop and some good wines. Already have a spa appointment and have a new Bulova watch. Such world problems. Going to Pompeii and Herculaneum tomorrow on a private tour. It’s been forty years since I visited Pompeii. Time for lunch and thanks for all your post. Bruce

Today is a sea day as we sail to Sorrento tomorrow. Here on the Onward, with only five days remaining we are savoring every moment. Just counting our Blessings that we have the means to do such a wonderful adventure. Looking forward to our next Azamara cruise on Journey in January; back to backs around South America, Antarctica, Rio Carnival and Amazon. Miami to Miami. Quest Montreal to Barbados Oct. 25. Love the Azamara experience.

Goodnight!

The view from our dinner table in Prime tonight from our table. Priceless!

Sailing Azamara has been like sailing Prisendam on steroids. Seven Hundred capacity and no casino. Smartest move we have done is branching out and trying new lines. We loved our 500 days on Holland America and will probably cruise again.

Good morning folks. Today we are in beautiful Kotor, Montenegro. One of the most picturesque sail in’s around. Back is improving but I took another excursion day off versus aggravating sitting in a mini van for majority of the day. Though it’s little overcast with periodic light rain the view is spectacular. Tomorrow is a sea day as we wind down the six days of our voyage. Thanks for the reports and post. Bruce

In Dubrovnik, Croatia today. We had a private day long excursion but my back has been acting up so I have stayed onboard to rest up. Sue is on it. I believe the long car ride yesterday was the cause. Tonight’s is our Azamazing Evening so may attend that. It’s a nice day here but weather report calls for 80% chance of rain around 6:00 PM. We’ll see if that changes plan. Just had a light lunch and I’m headed for a nap. Thanks for the reports and postings. Bruce

Bon Voyage!🛳🍾

Zadar, Croatia is so beautiful. Our private excursion took us to their national gem Plitvice National Park. It was a long day of riding it so worth it Here are some pics but pressed for time. Five miles of trekking up and down hills has moi a little tired.Bruce

It was a very wet day in Koper, Slovenia. Actually enough that one would consider building an Ark! Rode up to the capital Ljubljana and walked around between downpours then had a lunch. Then we changed plans due to weather and went to a winery in Koper. Some great wines. Other then that we basically tried to escape the torrential rain. Thanks for the reports and postings. Have not had a chance to read the Daily yet but will later. Bruce

@kazuA very Happy Birthday wish to you and wishes for quick healing and pain free.

The day started off with beautiful weather in Chioggia, Italy but around noon the rain arrived. We stayed in Chioggia versus the hour drive to Venice. Nice city that has its own canals. Visited the fish market and the selections were so fresh. There is a very large fishing fleet here. Took a boat ride around canals and water ways followed by an outstanding lunch. iIt’s been awhile so we need to attend muster drill at 5:00 PM Sail at 10:00 PM and tomorrow we will visit Slovenia. Thanks for the featured reports and everyone’s input. Bruce

IMO lunch in Pinnacle is better than dinner.

@cat shepardHappy Birthday!🎂🍷 @Horizon chaser 1957Happy Anniversary!🍾

Good morning/afternoon everyone. Beautiful day and the Med is like a sea of glass. Tomorrow we port in Chioggia (Venice) and have elected to explore this city versus traveling into Venice. There have been many accolades about this Venice like city. Wander around and maybe do a gondola ride and definitely lunch. Enjoying our last day of being on a ship with 150 guest as tomorrow that jumps to 630! We’ll have a group photo at 5:30 followed by a cocktail party then a special dinner for all. Four Hundred One crew pampering 150 has been unreal. Have a great day everyone and thanks for featured post and comments. Bruce
