We docked at about 10:00 this morning. The port is full of cruise ships. Most of them will depart in the evening. We will be here overnight. Tomorrow is turnaround day. Most passengers will leave. 20 of us will stay for the next cruise.
We had a meeting with the Guest Relations manager and learned what we needed to do tomorrow. We also were told what services would be available to us.
We stayed on the ship rather than go to Athens. We were grateful for the time we spent here before the cruise. We watched as others left on tours or took the hop-on hop-off bus.
We had learned that if we booked a cruise on board we would get twice the normal discount. So Alice and I met with the future cruise consultant. He provided information on all cruises to Scandinavia in July and August. We had told Sean that our present to him for his 50th birthday next year is to take him and Shelly on a cruise. We suggested Alaska and Scandinavia but said it could be anywhere. I had given him the Holland America website to do some research. Now we called him to let him know where he could check on Azamara.
I brought the blog up to date in the afternoon while Alice went swimming. This is a first for her and she thoroughly enjoyed it.
Next we met with Bruno. He used 12 needles to work on the pain in Alice’s foot and ankle and to see if he could help with her fibromyalgia. There was improvement in the foot and ankle but only slight improvement in the fibromyalgia.
He wants tomorrow to be a day of rest and have the next treatment on Saturday.
I still can’t believe this does not hurt.
After dinner we attended Azamara’s Destination Celebration. This is a Covid replacement for the Azamazing Evening where all passengers were taken ashore for an evening of entertainment. For now a special local talent is brought onboard for our entertainment. This night it was a violin duo with 5 backup musicians and a singer. The music was contemporary performed in a dueling style. Of course some of it was Greek music. Think Zorba. The violins were electric and the sound was fantastic. The band and vocalist added an extra dimension. We had a great time.

I almost forgot to show you the Chocolate-Raspberry Spire that I had for dessert
