Sail Date: Jan 2013

We were on the Azamara Quest Antarctic cruise 13th January - 1 February 2013. It was a “bucket list” cruise and was our 4th cruise on Azamara and our 3rd on Quest. Our flight from Heathrow to Buenos Aires was uneventful. But then came the worst part, after collecting our luggage the queue for clearing customs was a 2 hour long snaking queue to put luggage through a scanner. We had Azamara transfers and a mini bus took us to our hotel, the Intercontinental. Short wait for our room and we had chance to refresh before our guide picked us up for walking tour we had organised with Buenos Tours. We were in room 1307 on 13th floor, good king size room. Despite emailing Azamara and asking were they providing any tours for the day there and a response saying , no. There was an Azamara hospitality desk and the agent there was offering both day and evening events!

Oliver our walking tour guide was waiting for us in the foyer, so we set off on our 4 hour walk. It was very hot, 30C. We walked through San Telmo, Monserrat, saw the key sites and had coffee and cake at Tortoni Cafe, opened in 1858 and now owned by the staff. Excellent guide and walking tour.

After arriving back at the hotel we got ready for our again self organised tango/dinner show at Piazolla Tango. We really enjoyed the show and and dinner.

Cabin Review

Cabin 1A

We had cabin 7060 which is midships. It was a quiet cabin with good storage. The shower as on all R class ships is small. The balcony is small and the new table too big for the space, however the new chairs are comfortable. The new mattresses are very comfortable
