Woke up this morning at around 7.30am to find ourselves docked in the port of Marseille. We had never visited this part of France before, so we’d booked a half-day excursion. Looking across from our balcony, we were intrigued by the sight of a huge cathedral on top of a steep hill; we hoped we…
Got up around 8.00am as usual to see that the Azamara Pursuit was just getting ready to dock in Nice. The last time we’d been to Nice was in 2011, when we’d flown in to join sister ship Azamara Journey, where we did a four-night cruise culminating in the Monaco F1 Grand Prix. It was…
After the frenetic activities of the last couple of days, it was nice to be able to put the alarm on “snooze” this morning, and it was at the relatively late time of 8.25am when we got up and went out onto our balcony to greet the new day. 🙂 After the usual substantial breakfast…
Today we got up at seven o’clock to find the Azamara Pursuit slowly sailing into the port of Livorno, which would be the gateway to Florence (or, to give it its Italian name, Firenze). We had to meet in the Cabaret Lounge at 7.45am to register for our full-day excursion at eight, so we ate…
Roam, if you want to,Roam around the world. Roam – The B52s We had to be up at going-to-work time, that is 7.00am, as we needed to assemble at eight o’clock in the Cabaret Lounge for our full day excursion. As we went out onto our balcony, we could see that the Pursuit was heading…

This morning we woke up to bright sunshine and blue skies as we eagerly went out onto our balcony to take in our surroundings. We found that the Azamara Pursuit was an anchor and we looked across the water at the shoreline of Sicily. It looked to be fairly mountainous and we could see a…
Got up at eight o’clock this morning, and went out on the balcony to see what the weather was like. Although it was a blue sky and the sun was out, the brisk sea breeze made it colder than you would expect. We decided to have our breakfast in the self-service Windows Café and I…
Got up at 8.00am after an excellent night’s sleep, and had a look out on our balcony and the busy street below on the build-up to rush hour. The sky was a cloudless deep blue and the air was already warm, with only a slight breeze. We went down to breakfast and enjoyed bacon and…
Woke up this morning to the happy knowledge that, once again, we were heading for foreign shores to start another cruise! 😊 Today we were due to fly to Athens, Greece and enjoy an overnight stay in a hotel before joining the fabulous Azamara Pursuit in Piraeus the next day. However, amid all the excitement…
