We chose this cruise because of the itinerary from Hong Kong to Tokyo and for the cherry blossom. The itinerary changed and the apple blossom didn’t show!!. We used Imagine Cruising to book as there were a couple of tours included for the mega bucks charged. (As it happened they were not worth the money.)
Boarding was a complete nightmare. They excused it by saying they hadn’t done it since ...
We had a wonderful time on the Quest and enjoyed the size of ship as have traveled on the Oceania identical ships. The choice of food and quality were generally excellent though a few meals were cold on delivery.
The dining room staff were also excellent most of the times but a few nights the waiting staff were very slow and mucked up the orders.
Overall the staff were amazing and couldn’t ...
Chose this small ship to escape the hordes on previous cruises
The ship itself was a comfortable size but didn’t enjoy the rough seas
Cabin was ok , plenty of storage but the smallest shower I’ve ever seen !
Main dining for dinner was very good and the included wines were of a good standard
Lunches in the buffet were ok but not exceptional
Breakfast buffet was average at best ...
Travelled from New York to have an intensive New Zealand cruise and to experience what some would call the 8th wonder of the world in cruising Milford Sound. Instead azamarra decided to save money and not follow the New Zealand regulations which were issued on Oct 2022 -3 months before the sailing date- to get its ship hull properly inspected and cleaned. They knew in advance that their failure ...
We like small ships and have been on Windstar frequently. Windstar passengers kept recommending Azamara to us, so we decided on this itinerary as a good tryout for another smaller-ship line. Overall, we thought the cruise was excellent and very comparable to Windstar, with some differences.
Some thoughts on specifics:
Vibe: Although bigger than Windstar (400 passengers this cruise out of a ...
We travelled From Piraeus - Dubai on Azamara Quest, from Oct 29 - Nov 15.
We boarded the Azamara Quest in Piraeus (Athens) and after we finally got onboard, we started to have a great time.
There was a delay of nearly 2hrs to board the ship, due to only 1 customs agent working at the Port.
We went straight to our safety demonstration once onboard, then off to the cabin , we were greeted ...
My fiance and I choose cruises based on the quality of the cruise line and the itinerary. This is the second time I have sailed on the Azamara Quest, and I would describe it as a country club yacht sort of ship. It does not feel as glitzy as the usual cruise ship, but it is well done in decor and service.
We quite enjoyed the food in the MDR, but the buffet had poor quality. We had a hard time ...
I actually am enjoying our cruise. The people on the ship are genuinely kind. The food is fantastic. The destinations are fabulous.
Personnel: They really care about their customers. I have food allergies and they made sure I was always safe. Vira made sure my preordered meal was available to me during the White Night Buffet. That’s service. Our stateroom attendant, Ketut, is always working ...
I can’t say enough about this cruise, it was wonderful ! I was worried after reading other reviews, but this ship is in beautiful condition. It is not “tired”! I had no issues with the bathroom and the staterooms are lovely.
The staff, crew, and officers couldn’t do enough for you. I loved how the officers were often present and even helped serve at the buffets. I had three opportunities to ...
AZAMARA QUEST Sept 2022
Club continent suite. There were approx 520 guests on board (max capacity 690)
Greece dropped the need to have a negative covid test the day we boarded!.
The first thing our butler said was "there were only a few Covid cases in the previous week". Then mid way the captain announced 4 cases in isolation, but the rumour was that there were up to 13 positive . ...
