Creator's Key Takeaways
We had a wonderful time on the Azamara Pursuit. Highly recommend using Azamara.
Smooth, easy, and stress-free. No lines, no crowds, and our luggage was waiting for us in minutes.
The moral of the story is if you ask nicely, good things happen to you.
It's one of those moments that reminds me why we travel, why we share these adventures.

🚢 From Nafplio to Athens: Farewell Azamara, Hello Acropolis View! | Mrs. Karnes and Me Join us as we say a heartfelt goodbye to our unforgettable Azamara Pursuit cruise and begin a brand-new adventure in Athens, Greece—complete with a surprise upgrade you won't believe! 💙✨ After an amazing day exploring Nafplio, we return to the ship for one final evening of memories at sea. We enjoy afternoon tea and trivia in the elegant Explorer’s Lounge—one of our favorite cruise traditions—and test our musical knowledge with “Name That Tune.” Then it's off on a mission to cash in our hard-earned Azamara points at the onboard Prize Closet… with hopes of snagging a hat for Me! 🎩😉 That evening, we’re treated to the Farewell Show in the Cabaret Lounge, where our friend—and fellow SEMO alum—Jose takes center stage. It’s a little bittersweet, but the joy and connection make it a night to remember. 🚢 Disembarkation in Athens was truly next-level. No lines. No stress. Just one of the smoothest cruise debarkations we’ve ever experienced. And then we saw it—the difference between small ship luxury and mega-ship madness as thousands poured off a neighboring cruise liner. Proof that small ship cruising really does have its perks! Once in Athens, our driver whisks us away to the Athens Intercontinental Hotel, where a surprise from Me awaits: an upgrade to the Concierge Level, and a jaw-dropping suite with a private balcony view of the Acropolis! 🏛️🇬🇷 The hotel is grand, modern, and filled with thoughtful touches—from Greek art and marble interiors to breathtaking rooftop views. This video is full of emotion, elegance, and the magic of travel surprises. From ship to city, from goodbyes to new beginnings—this is what it means to be Living the Good Life with Mrs. Karnes and Me. 📌 Highlights in this episode: 00:00 Saying goodbye to Nafplio & returning to Azamara Pursuit 01:15 Afternoon tea & trivia in the Explorer’s Lounge 02:20 Azamara Prize Closet mission: Trading in points! 03:35 Room service dinner & final show in the Cabaret Lounge 04:50 Farewell performance by Jose Alperez 06:15 Disembarking in Athens: smoothest experience ever 07:10 The mega-ship madness begins behind us 08:00 Drive through Athens to the Intercontinental 09:00 Surprise upgrade!
