AZAMARA QUEST, DAY EIGHT UPDATE

ABOARD AZAMARA QUEST, UPDATE -- This just in. Capt. Stig has just announced we have permission from the authorities in St. Maarten to proceed to Philipsburg, ahead of the expected wave swells coming our way. Only 15 nautical miles away, we should be dockside there by 7 p.m. And more good news: The casino and shops aboard have special permission from St. Maarten to remain open. We should be arriving there just in time for tonight's Italian Buffet. -- Gerry
