A charter cancelled, so Quest will use the week for some prettying up/ maintenance is what I understand.

Laurie, was the patio open for dinner on your March cruise on Quest?

We got off Quest last week  and the Patio was only open lunchtime and afternoons. It never opened in the evening.

to anyone who is, or has already been, on 'onward'....   i'm new to azamara, will board in july... love to know what brand(s) of tea are onboard?  and... do they have both english breakfast and assam?   (i'd call customer service but if recent experience is any guide,  that is a 90+ minute wait). thanks!

I believe there are a number of people on this forum who would disagree with your statement.

Different people are affected differently.

 

My understanding was that one charter cruise was cancelled, hence my previous post.

I am one of those people. Side effects are real.

It depends on the person, some show no symptoms so ‘recovered’ once showing a negative test, which could be after 3-5 days, but others take a long time. We had positive tests for 12 days and felt very tired for 5/6 weeks.

Is there any update on hairdryers in cabins on Azamara Onward please.

Thanks for sharing this. It helps us keep our perspective on a return to cruising.

We were on the Quest for three legs in March.  The first leg in the Carribean, the patio was open for all meals though dinners were lightly attended.  The next two legs, a crossing and Portugal/Spain, the patio was hit or miss but only open for dinner a few nights,  For breakfast and lunch it seemed to be weather dependent.

Thats not what we wanted to hear!  If they cant sort it on a new ship will they ever?

It’s a new system onboard, I used it yesterday before we sailed into Kotor and it was worth better than I’ve had on the other ships. Unfortunately once into Kotor it apparently crashed and was still out this morning. Currently in Dubrovnik I’m using the local 4G running at 220Mbps so not too bothered.

Its a maiden we’re the willing Guinea pigs I’m sure it’s all going to be fine.

Can anyone on board now confirm what the situation is with use of the Spa Terrace/ T-Pool? I'm specifically interested in what the policy is on the Pursuit at this time. Did the Club Cont. Suite guests lose this perk? Are people able to use the Terrace after having a treatment? Are they selling passes?

I would like to know this as well.  I was in a CC last time and it was included (not that  anybody asked me or checked when I used it), but will not be in a suite this time so interested in purchasing a pass --- but is it worth purchasing if it is not even policed?

Could anyone currently on the Onward let us know if the complimentary shuttles operate on Thursday May 12th between Porto Corsini and the center city of Ravenna?  If not, are there taxis at what seems to be an industrial port?  Thank you

This was the complimentary shuttle schedule on 30 April . There were no taxis available at the port that we saw. The drop off was very central.

From my understanding the rumored problem right now is not that access is not policed but that supposedly absolutely nobody but top tier suite guests are allowed to use the Thermal Pool. Last stories we heard was that passes are no longer sold and not even spa treatments give you access to the pool and veranda.  

 

I would definitely be interested to purchase a pass for my upcoming trip at the end of the month so any information if they are still selling them on Pursuit would be very much appreciated.

I haven’t seen any pictures of Prime C yet on Onward?

Anybody Have any?  Those of you currently onboard……

Pictures now up in Prime C with a few new additions.

 

[Roel94]

Prime C has table cloths on new ship,Quest has placemats.Not sure if other ships.

[takemewithyou]

Some gray chairs, some tan /brown chairs.  White chairs at the bar.  There is art work now.  I am disappointed there are no tables for two at the very aft under the slanted windows, tucked away in the corner.  It was always a romantic quiet spot.  Oh well.  
Thank you @Riocca!

[travelberlin]

Are they shampoo, conditioner, body lotion in the cabins? Which brand?

 

Are there also umbrellas? 
 

I will start packing 😎
