We chose this cruise ship on the advice of our travel agent. It was amazing! We chose to spend one day in port on the ship, we planned a couple of excursions on our own through Viator, a couple of transfers through Azamara and one on our own. Everything went perfectly! The one "excursion" that we planned on our own was the Great Italy Tour of the Bocelli Winery and restaurant. Here is the ...
Good itinerary in Mediterranean with great price-point to try Azamara for first time.
We have cruised many other lines, and wanted to try something different: Azamara includes tips and standard alcoholic drinks, which took one further element of "surprise" out of the bottom line, since we don't do spa treatments or shop on board. We paid what we paid, and that was it, except for airfare. ...
This cruise was part of a B2B with the next itinerary.
Embarkation was quick and simple in Barcelona, followed by a meal at the buffet and staterooms were available by 1:30 pm.
We were in a V3 verandah towards the stern, an excellent location for access to the rear elevators. The only complaint we had was that there was an occasional banging noise from a service door nearbye.
Quest is ...
Hi Nordski, thank you for the lovely cruise review of your B2B (back-to-back) cruises in the Mediterranean. And thank you for your preference for Azamara. We all very much appreciate it. ...
We choose this cruise because of the intriguing itinerary and the opportunity to visit several Western Mediterranean islands for the first time. We flew in the day the cruise departed and took advantage of the Azamara provided shuttle service which worked very well. Embarkation went smoothly and we were on board, and lunching on the Sunset Deck a few hours after our touchdown. The itinerary was ...
Thank you, mdktravel, for the cruise review. And a BIG thank you for sailing 6 times with Azamara! We look forward to welcoming you aboard again soon....
Chose the mini cruise to test out Azamara, and ideal for active elderly mother-in-law to see Balearics,Embarkation pretty good(except port assistant &computer said 93year old was not born yet) Windows self service very busy on arrival but staff quick to get drinks and food was tasty and plentiful.
All staff on board brilliant,couldn't fault anyone. All facilities well maintained and ship ...
Grand Prix experience for a special birthday. Very friendly and helpful crew, with the exception of the Guest Relations desk and the Concierge, who could not or would not sort out a problem with thick black sooty particles all over our balcony for which we had paid an extra fare. This problem was not limited to us alone, the Owner's Suite which was next to ours also had a similar problem, which ...
My husband and I (same sex couple) chose Azamara on the recommendation of close friends, and we were not disappointed! I have been on only one other cruise, being a Royal Caribbean about 10 years ago, and I swore to never cruise again. With 3,000+ passengers, many with unruly children, I could barely ever find a quiet spot or even a deck chair during the entire cruise. We were forced to eat at ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. Sardinia and Corsica have been on my bucket list for a while.
We travelled to Civitavecchia by car on the day of departure and were delivered right to the ship. Embarkation went very smoothly from there. Having tried other options in the past I'd highly recommend this approach.
The ship isn't new but it is well cared for. It's smaller than ...
Thank you PetB for the 5-star review! We are glad you so enjoyed the cruise, and that you'll be back when you find the right itinerary. We will be waiting for you!...
Chose this cruise as a bucket list choice and to see the Classic Grand Prix.
We were under the impression that the food on board was of the best - no better, in my opinion, than Celebrity or RCCL.
Main bugbear was the lack of any sort of entertainment whilst in dock. At 9.30 am there was a quiz and about 5 p.m. there was another. That's IT.
The biggest "show" at night had 2 male and 2 ...
We prior had cruises with the Quest, and had a desire to see a Grand Prix. But, Azamara is engaging in gouging their guests. The price of the Grand Prix excursion was $299.00 pp for two days admission. We had to walk to the event ourselves, and Azamara issued us tickets which showed a price of 66 euros ($66.00) This is ticket scalping. We complained onboard, and a month later(after research) ...
