Horizon was my first Celebrity ship in May 1995. It was New York to Bermuda return and the food and service were amazing. We moved from Hamilton to St George's part way through so had two ports easily explored on foot. Sorry to hear she will be gone.

I also remember a woman climbing a rope ladder to get back on the Sky Princess somewhere in the Caribbean in January 1990. She was also fined and was not seen around the ship for the rest of the cruise.

Thanks Denise for all the hours you put in on this board and for your skilled dealing with the diverse views and opinions posted here. Best wishes to you and Nick. Perhaps we'll meet again on Azamara .

Last Princess cruise was in May 2017 Panama Canal - LA to Fort Lauderdale on Pacific Princess. Last cruise was to Alaska July 2019 on another line.

According to the email I got from Azamara Larry Pimental stepped down voluntarily. On the Azamara board Bonnie MacLaird Chief Blogging Officer Azamara said "Our Chief Operating Officer, Carol Cabezas, will lead the brand. And all our other senior executives, VPs and AVPs, remain in place...each dedicated to Azamara and the vision Larry inspired. "

I also closed the survey when the questions about annual income and net worth were required with no option for prefer not to answer.

Just saw this on the Azamara website. Now includes Lombardy and Veneto so will impact t cruises starting/ending there.

I think that Waterfront to Seattle convention center with Quick Shuttle is a good plan that doesn't require a lot of rushing around to get from one place to the next wondering if you are going to get there on time. Hope you have great Hawaii and Alaska cruises.

Hi plettza, There is a shuttle bus that goes between Vancouver and Seattle but the 2020 cruise season schedule is not up yet. I think the pier to pier service starts a little later in May but you can get from downtown Vancouver to Seattle. www.quickcoach.com:index.htm.webloc

It takes only a few hours to sail between Victoria and Vancouver so as mentioned above the ship will go slowly and stay outside the port until the arrival time. As Jim_Iain said you will clear Canadian Customs and Immigration in Victoria so disembarkation will be easy and you can be on your way quickly. If you are going to the airport there is the Canada LIne nearby. Also Uber and Lyft are now operating in Vancouver. The Port of Vancouver schedule shows Eclipse as the only ship that day with an arrival time of 6:30 so if you want a taxi it should be okay on a Sunday morning.

Agree and the same applies in Canada. Have booked onboard, cancelled and changed to another cruise without penalty.

Here's a picture of the Panama buns on the Zuiderdam years ago. Don't know if they are still the same.

Quest already has the Den and the area was well used on my last cruise.

When I was on Pacific two years ago the knitters met in the bar area outside the dining room which is quiet in the morning especially after breakfast is finished. .
