Kitekat

Ooh! I do hope there will be some! Thank very much you for the update. We are only hoping for a trip to Matsue - castle, river trip and a brief walk around. Ship's tour seems expensive for this trip and the public transport is a bit of a drag to get there and back. We'll keep our fingers crossed!

Thank you so much - I am now going to use my Google translate to see the detailed information. And thank you for your updates on what you did ashore. I'm sure this will be useful, not just for us, but our fellow passengers on the next cruise.

Thank you very much. And thank you and other contributors for your information on this cruise. It's so helpful to us future passengers. We plan on taking the ship's shuttle and exploring from there for most ports. Roll on 3am on Tuesday when the adventure begins

If you happen to pass the desk with a few moments to spare, please would you post the taxi info for port Sakaiminato. We would like to go to Matsue... Counting down to Tuesday morning.

Glad you are safely back! Plenty of time for clearing the washing, having a brief rest before packing and heading out for the next one. Looking forward to meeting on board Journey next month!

Not what you need at the end of a holiday! I do hope it gets sorted for you! I know that the internet access is not always good on board ... Lufthansa say you can rebook your flights yourself if they have cancelled and not offered a change. And you will be entitled to overnight accommodation! I do hope you don't need it. Wishing you the very best of luck!

Your whale pictures are really great! I was always JTL! - just too late! (as against JIT - just in time). It is such an amazing experience. So glad the weather is generally being kind.

The cabins are most definitely smaller than Celebrity Solstice class cabins in both room and bathroom space. But there is good hanging storage with an extra hanging area above the drawers in the third cupboard. Below are four small drawers and and there are four more in the desk/dressing table. Plus other small amounts of storage alongside the safe etc. Suitcases can be stowed under the bed(s) and you could always leave stuff in there. Having just come through Drake Passage in Force 12 winds (gusting Force 16) on Quest which is exactly the same as Pursuit... we certainly felt the motion in the heavy seas but she held up really well and the only things which broke were a few plates and glasses. But I would rather be on board Azamara ships than the huge ones in bouncy seas.

Yes! Fabulous voices and great range of music from classical to modern stuff - and their outfits shine too!

We saw these wonderful singers/keyboard player on board during the later covid years and the concert was almost as good as the theatre experience we had before covid. Highly recommend it!

The sign was up to prevent through traffic on the day of the BBQ on deck - all of the food and the barbecue itself were located in the Patio area. The notice was removed as soon as the area was cleared

Wow! That is interesting. And a new CFO as well...

Now wondering what the chef's table might be on our South American cruise in a few weeks. As we have just spent a month and half in France and our village has several excellent restaurants, we are in no hurry to eat more French food. It must be so disappointing as the Arabic menu reads really well but a poor rijstafel sounds awful. We can't wait to get back for a curry...

Oh yes! Have seen them twice - once in the theatre and once on board and definitely fabulous both times! Would happily see them again.

That's quite possible especially as MSC embark and disembark at most ports on their cruises.
