After dinner we wandered up to the Pool Deck and saw what we had missed!

The destination immersion "Taste of France" buffet looked AMAZING!  It was like a mini white night.

Ah well.. didn't have room for a second dinner so we just admired the offerings.😍

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What a nice surprise!  I am assuming this was listed in the daily program?  I will have to look for these special dinners on the pool deck!  It looks like some of the special dinners they did during the world cruise that people posted about.

Fabulous pictures which make for a great pictorial diary!  Brings back many fond memories for me of some of our prior Azamara cruises, some that included Barcelona embarkation.  Thanks for posting.

Your pictures and comments are full of bright, positive energy!  Thanks for making me smile throughout.

 

No doubt the information you are posting will be a very useful reference for cruisers, particularly for those who are new to Azamara.

 

Keep sharing your smiles!

Oh my, when I posted this note I was at the end of Page 1, not realizing there were four more pages wherein I subsequently learned so much more about your journey.  Best wishes for many more healthy and happy Azamara cruises!

Yes! It was such a lovely surprise! So much preparation involved.. quite a feat.👏

P.S your screen name always makes me chuckle.

👋Hello Anchor Light!

I'm so glad that you found the other 4 pages and that the pix brought back fond memories of past cruises for you!  I sometimes look back at other blogs I have written to do just that.

And thank you for your happy health wishes.. I hope so too.💗

👋Hello Dynacruiser!

Thanks so much for your sweet post and I'm so glad that you felt the positivity.  That's exactly what I was trying to convey.🙌

Glad to be a help to new (and old) Azamara cruisers and I'm always happy to share the smiles.

Thanks again.💗

Back to St. Tropez..

At 8:30am the tenders were a tendering!😊

 

 

[Sleep7]

The prettiest Chanel store I have ever seen.

 

 

Hmm... bag or wallet? 🤔

 

[Sleep7]

The local specialty is a Tarte Tropezienne.

Looked delish.. like a sweet sandwich filled with lots of cream between two cake buns.

 

 

[Sleep7]

Other "Tropezienne" specialties..

Their own brand of beer.

 

 

And plenty of candy and sweet shops.

 

 

[Sleep7]

Just some random shots around town.

And it seems James Bond was visiting.

Back to the ship.  The tenders in the afternoon were pretty empty.

Tonight was the Amamazing Evening!

This was dinner in Discoveries.

 

 

And dinner in the Windows Cafe.  A very festive American theme!🇺🇸

Thanks for sharing the French Intensive cruise. I've always wanted to do one of these.

 

Thanks for the input on the gluten free options.

 

You look radiant and beautiful.

[Sleep7]

We had dinner at Prime C.

A classic steakhouse dinner.. Chateaubriand for two, mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. Yum!!😋

💗Awww.. thank you so much branndie!

Do take the cruise.. each port was just wonderful and glad that the gluten free options work for you.  There were a lot of choices at each meal and they were clearly marked which is so helpful.

Thank you also for the radiant compliment! 

As I said it was a rough couple of months from February to July and this cruise was just so wonderful as a "graduation" celebration.  Each day was a true gift.💗

[Sleep7]

So this Azamazing Evening was the first one we have experienced that was onboard ship.  Even I have to admit that is was just AzaSoSo versus previous ones that were truly Azamazing.

It was fine.. always nice to meet all the officers on our way into the Cabaret Lounge and the singing and dancing was pleasant.😊

We did see cruise director Martin in a very spiffy kilt!

A very dramatic sky taken from the back deck of Windows at breakfast.

 

[Sleep7]

Boohoo and double boohoo.. disembarkation information and luggage tags were waiting for us after breakfast..
