I assume it would be this same on all ships, but am especially interested in Pursuit. Thanks, They were on Quest in February. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfastman Posted October 14, 2022 #2178 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Tonight on Onward we were treated to a fantastic show by Eric de Gray. A show that was 1 hour and twenty minutes long. He really is a true showman. Edited October 14, 2022 by Belfastman 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS Posted October 14, 2022 #2180 Share Posted October 14, 2022 AMEN! Its been more than 3 years since we saw his show and it was great to hear him again. We've had 101 nights on ships since then, so maybe 80 shows? and 40-50 single performers? None come close to Eric--- a league of his own! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combine Posted October 15, 2022 #2187 Share Posted October 15, 2022 On board Quest from Athens. Full house although 9 denied boarding because of incorrect vaccine paperwork. Large group of 94 onboard and 90% of the ship is new to Azamara! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I've seen the rate of repeaters anywhere near that low was on one of the last cruises Azamara did to Cuba. Most passengers were frequent Celebrity customers who complained about the entertainment and the lack of a gigantic casino. Guess they didn't read the brochure.😉 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfastman Posted October 15, 2022 #2189 Share Posted October 15, 2022 New concept for Az being trialled on Onward at present. They have a guest Michelin starred chef- Michael Sandoval who is going to do three chefs tables (all sold out within a day). He did a presentation today and I believe he is very good. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combine Posted October 16, 2022 #2192 Share Posted October 16, 2022 On Quest. Predicted high winds replaced our first day in Tinos to Syros. However the pilot would not come out this morning, so we are on our way to Mykonos where we were due to dock tomorrow, for an extra day now. Captain Jonas is keeping us informed. Fingers crossed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s a great way to breathe new life into the Chef’s Table, which has become a slightly tired and overworked concept, IMO. I hope it works well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journey trying to keep a tendering operation going in Zikanthos. Given my back damage in Kotor not for me or many others it’s rough very bouncy and breezy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nippy Sweetie Posted October 16, 2022 #2198 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Amalfi very hot and very crowded. Lovely to get back to the cool comfortable ship. Tender operation very good but the fumes from their engines fills the air. We have to keep our balcony doors closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also did a 3 course selection in MDR last night... a wonderful potato-less gnocchi, a great 5 oz filet, and a chocolate dessert that received DW's approval -- no small feat! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nippy Sweetie Posted October 17, 2022 #2200 Share Posted October 17, 2022 White night last night on Onward. We did attend duly dressed in white but found it a bit disorganised. We're not fans of queues and loud music so scuttled away to Discoveries. Looked like we weren't the only escapees. Many tables occupied. Some by those in white but also others who'd obviously had no intention of going to the deck party. The menu was great. I'm sure most passengers enjoyed the white night but I'm posting this for others who might not fancy it and to show they are not alone and that alternatives are available. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
