Anybody onboard currently?

[Mrs Miggins]

They didn’t test us in Civitavechia which was the midpoint of our B2B in April.

[Leo_On_Geo]

Currently beginning second leg of B2B on Pursuit tomorrow. No test required. Rather stupid in my opinion.  They clearly rather not know 

[Hamwen3839]

We are doing back to back in August so just curious if you stayed on board during change over or were allowed off and still did not require a test?

 

[harrodsfan]

Not having to have a test between back to backs May convince us not to cancel the second leg of our trip.

Bingo.

      Could I ask for some basic info?   For each cruise, could someone post which date,  what ship, how many passengers, Senior officers ( Capt, CD, HD), what restaurants are open (Prime C, Aqualine, Patio), what meals and menus?

     I ask because this kind of info will provide us some info on how the "restart" is going, especially now that most ships are in Europe, and because about half the past 49 pages have addressed such things, but lately we've been hung up on tonic wate and hair dryers...

Currently on the Onward. White night was a huge success. Sailing out of Kotor.

Eric and his team did a fantastic job and yes it is still called White night in Europe!!

The dance floor was full, and it seems almost everything is back to normal.

Food on the trip, I have to say has been good  but not outstanding. All restaurants open including the patio grill . No problem with reservations in the specialities. Great Chateubriand in Prime c though.Lobster ravioli good in Aqualina. .Atlas bar was nice but seating a little uncomfortable and hard. Plenty of Nichalaus Fullutte champagne . Excuse the spelling.

Pinot noir on ultimate package good. 
Down to about only 10% mask wearing on ship if that. 
No reports of any Covid and talking to some btb cruisers only one couple came down with it on the previous cruise who likely had it when they boarded despite some exaggerations about numbers online. I’m off for a swim.

Thank you for the update. On Onward on 4th June and getting a bit concerned about all the negativity about the condition of the ship. Can you take some photos of the open area of windows, sunset area. Thanks.

Currently on board Pursuit. Aqualina and Prime C are burg open. We’ve been to both. The menus are good but the service has not been good. It appears that they are short staffed in the specialty restaurants. Our group of 6 has waited 15 minutes each time to even be acknowledged when we are seated. They don’t offer to start with a drink. Literally just walk over and ask if we are ready to order food. The main dining room staff is much more attentive and friendly, overall just a better experience than Prime C and Aqualina.

Thanks for the tip.... Arrive with drinks in the restaurants!

That is rather shocking!  Sounds like a very new crew!  The service in the specialties is always the best.

Just logged into my account on azamara.com with no problems...

[Host Jazzbeau]

Same here.  Account and voyage planner both working fine.

[audobon_tx]

Got in on wife's phone which is Android 10.  My phone uses Android 12 and the update in May probably is cause of my problem.  Maybe Google will fix it with next update.

Did that first.  I think it is an Android 12 bug.

Just some photos from French Chefs Table last night on Pursuit. It was well worth the $95 with the included fine wine pairings. This has been an awesome trip so far.

[LDaQuirm]

Feeling a bit stressed on Pursuit as we have just been told all the pre airport tours have been cancelled due to lack of participation. Now have to sort out own transfer out, we foolishly cancelled the one our tour operator had arranged. We don't fly until 7pm so now looking at 9 hours in the airport...

Azamara have helped us sort an alternative great service.

I will be on the Onward June 4 and want to know if they got their shipment of hair dryers yet?

On board Onward now. All cabins have hairdryers. 

[kool kruiser]

Back from Onward on a back to back. To confirm, no testing between cruises, whether staying on board or going ashore. No difference whatever.

[little flower]

Thank you for that encouraging information very helpful since I’m doing the back to back starting June 4.  Was there any mention of anyone testing positive for Covid while on the ship

Currently on Azamara Quest. Been a few years since we were last on Azamara but food is excellent as is the service and entertainment. About 540 passengers and 340 crew. They are short staffed in galley and service in main dining room can therefore sometimes be a bit slow - but there is nowhere we need to be by a set time so we just accept and relax as we are on holiday.

 

they have combined the menus for the two speciality restaurants so they are both reduced but as the food in the main dining room has been so good we haven’t seen the need to book.

 

Captain and senior staff are often seen walking about.

 

Mask wearing, all staff wear all the time but guests purely voluntary so maybe 20% in crowded areas such as tenders and waiting areas and less in other areas. Quite a few dry and frequent coughs to be heard from other passengers- not the ones wearing masks but no communication about whether there are Covid cases or not.
