Cabin: Club Veranda Stateroom

We boarded the Azamara Journey in Barcelona. Very easy compared to the large ships that we are used to taking in Florida. Total check-in process took less than 15 minutes. Then on to board the boat. Greeted with champagne at the door. Our cabin was ready (around noon), however our bags had not been delivered.

After cruising on 35+ cruises, I would have to say this was our favorite. Small touches like the bartender always knowing your drink before dinner, never a crowd for the dining room, incredible meals, etc. The crew seemed genuinely happy, etc. So nice to not be nickel and dimed to death, like the mainstream lines. Hard to believe that Azamara was even a part of RCL...The buffet even had an upscale feel with table cloths and candles at night. The entertainment was top notch. The dancers were incredible and the cruise director, entertaining.

Our first stop on the cruise was to the island of Ibiza. Azamara arranged a 'Hippie Night' where everyone dressed in white or 60's clothing. They bused us to a beach club and served champagne and snacks for a couple of hours. They had a fashion show and played 60's music. It was so much fun.

Cabin Review

Club Veranda Stateroom

Cabin V2

The verandah cabins are very small. Because it is an older boat, there was less than 200 square feet per cabin. Very small bath as well. Tiny shower with curtain. Our cabin was near a stairway and was quiet although we could hear children yelling out in the hallway. Our cabin was fairly close to the self service laundry, which was nice. This cabin wasn't around any public areas, which help with the noise factor.
