We are currently cruising along around 16 Knots on a rather smooth Indian Ocean. We are around 250 nautical miles above the equator and hundreds of miles off the Somalia coast. We attended our astronomer lecture and have just enjoyed a lunch at the Patio. The weather has not been good for pool lovers with clouds and occasional showers. That has caused tonights’s dinner under the sky to be held in Windows. Only bar open tonight is Living Room but I would presume tonight’s Cabaret show of the Other Guys one will have drink options. Tonight their show is entitled Legends of Rock and Roll. Tony Marky gave a lecture yesterday on the Pursuit’s Cruise to Nowhere which was entertaining. We all were told up front that this would be a different cruise experience if we elected to stay onboard. For someone who needs lot’s of activities this would be hard. For us a good book and passing sea and conversations with our World Voyage family works for us. From what we have heard total crew is down about 97 Culinary down 45. Hear they are touching up and repair work in some of the empty cabins. That’s the way it is on the beautiful Onward. Bruce Were people who stayed onboard offered any upgrade to their cabin?

Phil In a mass practice emergency drill yesterday Milan was deceased but miraculously arose and back to his wonderful service. Agree he is a great ambassador for Azamara. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliaschief Posted May 4 #3310 Share Posted May 4 Today we did a short stay in Port Louis, Mauritius. Basically a fuel stop but we did manage to go ashore for a whirlwind tour. Getting ready to sail for another four days at sea before Port Stanley. Last night’s dinner under the stars was nice and we enjoyed a couple songs from the Marky’s. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combine Posted May 5 #3317 Share Posted May 5 (edited) @aliaschief. apologises for hijacking this thread, but looking for info from you. I see that you were on Azamara last year when it visited Nantes. We will be visiting there next month on Quest and there is some confusion over where Azamara will dock. Did you dock at Saint Nazaire which is about 40 miles from Nantes? Azamara has given this info to someone on the roll call that it is SN or did you manage to get further down the river to Nantes itself? Which would be the answer we are hoping for ! You mentioned in one of your posts how locals lined the shoreside watching you sail in, so possibly you managed to get nearer to Nantes? Any info would be helpful . Thankyou in advance.

I remember the locals lined up on shoreline and after that we docked and not longer after that is where we docked. Small port so figure that is where we docked. We’ve been to so many ports since. I believe we docked in Nantes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another couple moved into 6088..large suite ..they paid for that move big time.and I am sure they have to move out as ship is full or close to from Venice.
