Some helpful travel hints for the Canadian Traveller

Travel hints

Day 10

We started the day with a walk in the sun and then spent some time by the pool. While having lunch with friends we saw a pod of about 200 dolphins racing alongside the ship. Whales were also seen.

Last night Roak won $100 at the casino and tonight we hope to repeat it again.

This will be our last entry for this trip.

Day 9

This morning we anchored off of CSL. Tenders began taking people ashore early in the morning.

We spent another quiet day onboard. We did our fitness after breakfast. Then we spent time reading by the pool. The pool is filled with warm salt water and feels therapeutic.

Next to us today, the QEII anchored alongside and on the other side of us was the Norwegian Star.

Tonight a mariachi band will be performing for us before we depart at 10:00 PM heading back to San Diego.

Day 8 Loreto

We had a wonderful experience in Loreto. We took the tender into the town and explored the wonderful small town of Loreto.

We returned to the ship and met fabulous crew members from Indonesia. We will be travelling there in 2012.

We attended a wine/cheese party arranged by friends. Then off to dinner in the Aquilina dining room-two hours of pampered bliss.

Then dancing to AbbA on the Looking Glass deck in the evening.

Days 6 & 7

Topolobampo and Guaymas

Yesterday we stopped in Topolobampo. Some of the shore excursions to the city were cancelled due to an early morning police action in the area of the town square.

We stayed on the ship as planned and had a great time walking our mile in the sun and then spending some time in the pool.

Later in the evening the ship hosted a fabulous Mexican buffet and brought local performers onboard who entertained us for over 1.5 hours.

Azamara has provided the best entertainment that we have experienced during our many voyages.

Guaymas

Today we docked mid-morning in Guaymas. A local band and majorette troupe entertained us during the docking.

We spent another leisurely day onboard. The salt water pool is kept at about 90 deg Fahrenheit. What a treat.

Tonight we sail for Loreto.

Day 5 La Paz

Last night we went to the show-Broadway tunes. It was great!

Today, we have had beautiful sunny weather. We walked for over a mile on the deck and then took a dip in the salt water pool. Spent the rest of the day in the sun.

The food and service on Azamara is unsurpassed by anything that we have experienced. Tonight we are dining in one of the two specialty restaurants.

We will be in the steak house, in our tuxedos as we depart from La Paz and watch the armed federal police circling the ship as we depart.

Day 4 Mazatlan

We spent a quiet day on board watching the world go by. We did our fitness in the morning and Roak clocked in over 3000+ steps on his pedometer. Then, we lazed by the pool under the hot sun and had a light lunch on the pool deck.

Yesterday we say whales, dolphins and sharks.

Today we saw pelicans and frigate birds flying over us against the clear blue sky.

Our friends have won over $1200 on the slots. We have not! :)

We set sail in about 1 hour heading to our next stop-La Paz.
