We love Azamara and always have a great time when we cruise with them. This was our fourth cruise on Azamara and but our first on Quest. We were happy to find that some of the officers and crew that we had met on Journey were now on Quest. The outstanding staff and crew go out of their way to do anything and everything possible to make the cruise a wonderful experience and they are truly the strength of Azamara. The top leadership staff including Hotel Director Philip, Cruise Director Russ, Food and Beverage Manager Richard, and Mr. Mustafa are outstanding and set a great example. Everyone truly knows what to do, and they go about doing it well with professionalism, teamwork and warmth. The atmosphere on a small ship is special. People are very friendly, and we made some terrific new friends. It was nice that the passengers were a mix of nationalities.
Embarkation and Disembarkation: Embarkation was very and disembarkation was a breeze.
Staterooms: We had a balcony stateroom. The beds and the bedding were comfortable but do need to be refurbished and they will be when Quest goes into Dry Dock in October. The bathrooms and especially the shower are very small.
