booked on Azamara 12 night best of mediterrian starting April 21 froma BArcelona

Hi, this is our first Azamara cruise and looking for any advice. We’ve done Viking and Windstar before this.

For instance, I see references to a “white night”? There is nothing on our information about that. I’ve also found their website to be very difficult to navigate

Excursions all booked, some through Rick’s recommendations.

But if you google white night on Azamara you can find this:

Azamara's White Night is a signature, al fresco dinner and entertainment event held on the pool deck, featuring delicious food, engaging entertainment, and a dress code of wearing something white, hosted by Azamara officers and crew.
Here's a more detailed look:

Hi! I’ve been on two Azamara cruises. You will love it. Small ship size, attentive staff, interesting port stops, and no need to pay for extras as they are included.

White night is held on the pool deck and feature a huge barbecue. The area is completely transformed into an al fresco restaurant. People wear white or something close to white if they have it. Live music, dancing, and usually a special performance by a local group. In Turkey it was a group of singers. In South Africa it was Zulu dancers and drummers.

For the wardrobe-challenged on our cruises, we have seen plenty of people wearing the bathrobes from their staterooms. Mission accomplished, yes, but this practice lacks the charm they are going for. Food, btw, was wonderful. Steaks, lobster, shrimp and more grilled choices with lots of delicious sides. Don't eat lunch that day!

If you book a tour without Azamara, just remember to: Confirm your boat departure time, to ensure you don’t miss a boat ride. Bring a copy of your tour operator’s paperwork and contact information. Many Azamara itineraries are flexible, but it’s best to return to the boat at least 30 minutes before departure.

I’m also looking forward to my first Azamara cruise, and the White Night event sounds amazing! I’m excited for the pool deck BBQ, live music, and the chance to dress in white. From what I’ve heard, it’s one of the highlights of the trip. I’ll definitely make sure to skip lunch that day to leave room for all the delicious food. Appreciate the tips and can't wait to experience Azamara’s unique vibe![https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/362-azamara][1] crazy cattle 3dcheese chompers 3d
