I think one of my favorite things about this cabin is this HUGE lit up makeup mirror. 

The extra space is nice too for sure.

A short tender ride to shore.

We had been to Port Vendre on a previous Azamara cruise a few years ago and a very sweet and helpful CC poster suggested to take the "Little Train" up to the town of Collioure which we did on that cruise as well as this one.  You buy your ticket right near where the tender docks for 10 Euro pp round trip.  You can opt to stay on the train the whole time or get off in Collioure and take a later train back to the port.

It was Sunday morning in Collieure and there was a busy and charming outdoor market in the middle of town.  The proprietors were very enthusiastic about being in my pictures..

I asked first of course.😊

 

 

 

 

 

[Sleep7]

Beautiful scenery too!

 

 

 

[Sleep7]

They had these very clever stands to show you where to aim your camera for the perfect shot.

 

[Sleep7]

The first two of many picturesque doorways.

 

 

[Sleep7]

Caught the 2:00pm little train back to the port.  On the way it chugs up the tallest hill for a lovely vista.

 

 

[Sleep7]

Back on the ship we failed miserably at the 4:00pm trivia activity in the Living Room.😆

 

 

 

[Sleep7]

Tonight's dinner for us was the Asian Buffet in Windows.😋

Accompanied by an incredible light show courtesy of Mother Nature.⛈️

 

 

[Sleep7]

Capped off the evening with the "Captain Dario Guerrieri's Welcome." 

He is a true star!!  So naturally warm and funny.🫡

Also nice to put names with all the friendly top staff faces that we saw daily around the ship.
