We just got back a few days ago from a 7 day cruise around the Canary Islands onboard the Azamara Onward.
Azamara's usp is what they refer to as "Destination Immersion".
Simply put this means that as their ships, they have 4, are smaller (only 700 passengers) they can stay longer in port.
This means that we had more time to experience the local life and culture from early until late.
We embarked in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria (Spain) and visited the islands of Madeira (Portugal); La Palma (Spain); La Gomera (Spain) and Tenerife (Spain) before returning to Gran Canaria.
We went on several guided excursions, more about those later, and also enjoyed some days just lounging on the ship reading, soaking up the sun (such a treat after all that recent snow) and enjoying delicious meals.

Hi Maggie! How fun! And how WARM! xoPomPom
ReplyDeleteHi Maggie - thanks for stopping by - I did get two comments!
ReplyDeleteThis cruise looked really nice - I've not been to any of those islands but would love to visit Madeira especially. Hope you will post more on the shore excursions later.
Were you pleased with the ship? We like smaller ships, my favorite being very small expedition ships with around 150 passengers, whereas Bob likes them big enough to have entertainment! We're looking for one more big cruise (for next year) to SE Asia - would probably do that again with Cunard as it would be several weeks and there would be more to do on board.
Stay well - hope spring has arrived and your snow has melted, haha!!!
Hugs - Mary
Hi Maggie,

I hope everyone is doing well, I have some news to share today.... In the next week I am moving to NOLA and hoping this new journey will put me back into the attitude that change is good. So much to do and not enough time to do it. I am so thankful for all the wonderful people in my life (including Pedro Jerome) a loan lender that support me at all times I am excited and also worried my life has been such a downer for so long that getting out of it has been hard, but I do really feel that this change is going to be the best thing I need right now, and I have hopes that all good things do come to those that wait.
ReplyDeleteI'm thanking a loan lender who helped me with a loan of 1 millions dollars to boost up my business once again at the rate of 2% annual return which is so wonderful, and I would like anyone stuck in financial situation to reach out to Pedro the loan lender on pedroloanss@gmail.com WhatsApp: +393510140339. For loan assistance.
So please keep me in your thoughts, and thanks to this blog I can at least keep in contact with all of you.
