Our sincere sympathy to you and family.

Just a heads up. On the World Voyage we have had several folks having to go home early. Why? Their passports stamp pages were full and no more space for additional stamps. Ridiculous yes but never the least it has happened. Make sure you have ample space for immigration stamps. When renewing passports one can pay extra for extra stamp clearance pages. Another sea day on a glass like Indian Ocean. Next up a two day stay in Cochin, India and our Azamazing Evening for this segment. Life is very good on Onward.

Waking up to another glass like Indian Ocean. Just a heads up. We have had several folks have to stop the cruise as their passport stamp pages were full. Sounds ridiculous but it has happened. Make sure you have enough free pages for the beauracratic immigration folks. When renewing passports you can request extra pages.

We loved our Hal cruises but after 500 days it was becoming repetitive. We started to try some other lines and it’s been invigorating.

Of course!😄

@kazu Being on Azamara is like being on Prisendam on steroids.

A great day at Yali National Park in Sri Lanka.

@kazujt’s now $125.00 per person but we got it at the old $95:00 price because of package we got.

Chef’s Table has 10-12 guest and it’s $95:00 per person. Guest in Suite’s have free dining in Italian and Steak Specialty Restaurants.

Start the day off with some food porn. Our Chefs Table Indian Dinner last night. Chef Sri is from India so it was extra special.

Wrong post.

Visited Yalu National Park in Sri Lanka.Saw lot’s of wildlife. Water Buffalo, Land Monitor, exotic birds, deer, wild boar, crocs, elephants and a long distant sighting of a leopard sleeping in a tree. Just a great day. Bruce

More food porn. Chef’s Indian Table dinner was another new and wonderful dinner on Onward last night.

Today out here on the vast Indian Ocean our culinary team put on an Indian Rice Table Brunch that was beautifully presented and so delicious. We ate sparingly as we have a Chef’s Table Indian dinner tonight. Tomorrow Sri Lanka where we are on a 4x4 vehicle hoping to see wildlife out on the Savanna. What a marvelous experience.

Our Indonesian Rice Table Brunch on Onward today was over the top. Another outstanding meal by our great culinary team.

After being aboard Onward since January I can’t imagine our cruising experience could get any better. Yes there has been a couple of hiccups especially with excursions but we have had a wonderful time.

Gulf Stream could give you a couple of nice days in beginning but after that it could go either way. One crossing in late April we encountered 20-30 foot seas and another it was fairly nice and able to enjoy outdoors. Light jacket and sweater are always recommended in Europe.

Good afternoon. For some reason I couldn’t log on to CC all afternoon on I Pad. Just switched to phone and voila! We had a lazy day. Attended a lecture. Currently headed for cocktails then dinner in MDR Discovery. Big entertainment tonight as the house orchestra will perform Bourbon Street music followed by our Cruise Director Eric who is an outstanding performer. The musicians in the ships orchestra are exceptional musicians. Captain stated at noon that we have sailed over 22,000 miles since leaving Fort Lauderdale. Thank for the reports and post. Indian Ocean is smooth with periodic showers and hot. Bruce

From somewhere on the Indian Ocean goodnight to all. We set our clocks back and hour last night. Tonight we set them back 30 minutes. 8:00 AM and it is roasting outside. I believe we will enjoy our sea day inside. Off to morning Trivia and then a guest lecture at 10:00. Bruce

Sabang, Indonesia was very hot as forecasted. Toured through the market place. After going through the meat market I decided to join the local and fast. Tomorrow is the last day of Ramadan so the families were stocking up for a big feast. Two sea days and our next port will be Sri Lanka. @St Louis CruiserSande a a belated Happy Birthday. Thanks for the post. Bruce

Sabang, Indonesia today. Another hot and sultry day. Toured through the market. After the beef market I chose to fast on this next to last day of Ramadan. We were scheduled for a hands on cooking class which turned out to be more of a demo. Sail at 5:30 and have two sea days before our next port in Sri Lanka.

Happy Anniversary to @erewhon and @Overhead Fred!🍾

Just arrived in Sabang, Indonesia. It’s going to be another hot and sweltering day. Have a good nights sleep and will catch up with you all on tomorrow’s Daily. B.

Good morning/Evening. Pretty much a needed lazy day at sea. We have been sailing in the Straight of Malacca one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world on the Adaman Sea. We have had many ship sailings today including some super tankers. The sea has been very smooth and like glass at times. We did have some excitement around noon when we passed under a pretty heavy thunderstorm with some impressive chain lightning. We also were treated by a water spout on our starboard side. Due to weather our scheduled dinner under the stars tonight has been postponed. Last night we enjoyed the folk singing of a lady from Australia. She had a beautiful voice and sang many 60 era folk songs from Dylan, Baez, Seeger and so on. Tonight we have a guest violinist who plays several string instruments. We’ll see. Tomorrow we visit Sabang, Indonesia and our excursion will take us to local markets and then to a chef’s residence for hands on cooking class followed by lunch. Thanks for the Reports and post. Enjoy your day. It was a pretty good Monday here. Bruce

The car with flags was covered in Malaysia flag. Does look a little like US.
