Azamara Pursuit Sea Day Activities

[LA_Traveler]

We're looking at the August 6, 2020 Azamara Pursuit sailing "Iceland Intensive" 15 night cruise with 6 sea days.  Many reviews say the ship is light on daytime activities and that's a lot of sea days.  Is this true for Azamara and particularly this ship?  Does anyone have a copy of Azamara sea day activities that you can post?  Thanks!

Here you are - first is a port day, second is a sea day.

Thanks so much - it'll be a big help in making a decision.

You’re welcome. I thought the copies of Insider I kept from my last cruise might come in useful!

On cruises with many sea days I have enjoyed the lectures. Those usually are held about subjects relevant to the destinations. 

Since your cruise is in Iceland I guess many activities will take place inside the ship. I hope your cruise is not fully booked, because on those cases, Azamara ships, being small, do not have many places where you can retreat besides your cabin.

The destination lectures and other specialists lectures are very variable and our recent experience is not positive (quality is not what it was)  but I can recommend bringing good books or explore the library early on. 

The Den is a lovely place to sit, read and socialise.

Thanks everyone for your input.  It's a BIG help to have experienced Azamara travelers answer questions and give your thoughts

Fingers crossed you’ll get some good guest speakers. They make all the difference.  If Chuck, the destination speaker is on your cruise (he and wife Helga do a lot of Azamara Cruises) then go and see him.  They are also a delightful couple.

One of the best I have enjoyed is Dave Kingrea.

We have been lucky enough to cruise with him and his lovely wife Anne on a few occasions.
