Was there any mention of anyone testing positive for Covid while on the ship No covid mentions at all. Didn't see anyone suffering either.Mask wearing by passengers voluntary, only about 10% ever wore them. No social distancing. Crew masked and self service buffets. Almost back to normal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suec12 Posted June 5, 2022 #1228 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Just watched the video review on the other thread and have a question. In the evening, is there a buffet in the lido? We have not sailed Azamara probably in the last decade and often enjoyed a buffet in the evening on Celebrity ships. Thought Azamara would also offer that if we wanted to skip the MDR for an evening or two. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are using table service instead? They offer a theme menu (e.g. Italian, French, Greek, British, Indian, et al) each night served ala' carte. Usually several starters, a soup course, up to six entrees, and a couple desserts. They tie the theme to the area where you are at the time (destination immersion) if they can. The concept reduces food waste and manpower in these trying times. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdpa Posted June 5, 2022 #1235 Share Posted June 5, 2022 My understanding is our June 11th cruise is almost completely full. It seems like cruise lines are ramping back to normal quickly. https://www.cruisecritic.com/articles.cfm?ID=6963 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The service was very attentive. The serving sizes were fine for us but you could certainly ask for extra. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Beamafar Posted June 6, 2022 #1241 Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) On the ‘Review by Gary Bembridge’ thread it was noted that Gary mentioned that on demand movies were “still included “. However, a poster (@harbourside) pointed out that there was a charge for these. Can anyone confirm if that is the case and, if so, what is the charge?

Marmaduke Posted June 6, 2022 #1243 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Regarding 'On Demand Movies', when we were on Quest last month there was a range of movies available free of charge on the cabin TV, most were old films with one of two new releases. From memory the most recent were Belfast and the latest Bond film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not even noticed that where were on demand movies 😃 I have watched the normal TV channels and funny that they are still transmitting stories about Ghosts and people trying to buy a house.

We would enjoy getting some room service and having drinks while watching a movie on some nights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
