neverseasick Posted September 12, 2022 #1953 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Is anyone onboard the Onward right now? If so, what is your overall impression of the ship as well as of the dining and entertainment? Even very recently it's not getting the best reviews.

Rare oddjob16 Posted September 14, 2022 #1954 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Quest is in Cartagena. Four cases of Covid. Piano player Jose Maria is filling up the Den with decent music. Apart from that we have nothing special to report. Red wines in Ultimate package are decent - the whites not so. Has reported it in mid cruise survey. Both Bar manager and F&B manager responded. Delivery issues all over. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare uktog Posted September 15, 2022 #1956 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Good to see you have a different DJ - July Quest had got a "wrong hire" for sure. Have the Fantastic Beats gone home from the Living Room? They were amazing but as they were on in April as well I am guessing they were about due a rest. I also see a change in The Den. Anyone on Journey - who are the entertainers there? Thats my next "port of call" so beginning to anticipate things. I know there is a bit of change before the 24th there as the cruise before is a charter and that usually signals some changing around as the charter folks bring their own entertainment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcliz Posted September 15, 2022 #1957 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I’m pleased to see both the patio and windows buffet are open, instead of the menu in windows. Hope it’s the same on the Journey! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic Beats got off in Lisbon at the end of the last cruise, agree they were great Living Room was our pre dinner port of call to listen to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bruce! We are on B2B cruises all the way to Barcelona. There are 85 of us staying on and that is a record for Azamara post-Covid. There are 579 passengers booked on the next cruise. That is 98 more than the present cruise. We are expecting protestors when we sail into Bordeaux. They don’t like cruises or cruisers. You should be with us to drink some Bordeaux wine!

Will be in Lyon in thirty days for a 12 day Scenic Line river cruise with a celebrity chef and culinary theme. Will be back on Journey for intensive Spain followed by France next June. Onward in January plus 2024 World Cruise on Onward. See what you started by suggesting we try Azamara? Your recommendation was spot on. Thanks.

After our Azamara Spanish cruise, my better half insisted on including this dish in our family dinners’ rotation list as one of designated appetizers (the consequence being, I needed to learn how to cook it but no regrets whatsoever) 🤤 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baynanno1 Posted September 17, 2022 #1966 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Not on board currently, nor even recently, but, our neighbours who have been visiting family in Sweden decided to "hop on a cruise." Some of what we have told these first time Azamara cruisers over the years must have been effective, as they chose Quest around Ireland. They arrived home a few days ago and have been full of praise for all aspects of their experience. 🤩 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band in Living Room is the Lucky Boyz. They are very good. They came on in Lisbon and they are from Bali. Excellent band. Jose from Manilla played the piano in the Den and was very well liked. He doesn't put the volume too high and he interacts well with audience. He had recently been emploed by Viking River. The Den was almost full every evening. We are off the ship now. Disembarkation was a breeze as we travel with carry-ons this time. Yes. It can be done.😆 Edited September 17, 2022 by oddjob16 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruizer Bill Posted September 17, 2022 #1969 Share Posted September 17, 2022 We had protestors outside this morning in Bordeaux. They were banging on drums. I think they have also been harassing the river cruise boats as well but I am not sure.
