I appreciate that different people have different views and priorities so I understand that not everyone will share my views of this 17 day Azura cruise around the Med.
However here goes!
A BIT ABOUT ME
We had a standard balcony cabin on C deck mid ships (double size balconies) which was pretty good as we booked a getaway fair and could have gone anywhere.The cabin whilst not the biggest was more than adequate for our needs with lots of drawer and hanging space. TV position was not the best however (left of the bed on a high shelf) and would be better fixed to the wall opposite the foot of the bed. Live TV choice was pretty poor but this seems to be the norm on cruise ships these days. You did however get an excellent choice of pre recorded programmes and films at little or no cost. You were provided with tea and coffee making facilities and a daily biscuit each which was nice and the air conditioning control was excellent.The bathroom was on the small side, with a shower only , but lots of hot water and huge towels. We have been in larger cabins with settees in the lounge area and bigger bathrooms but to be honest we rarely used the extra facilities they offered so we were happy with our lot.Balcony was good and as it was double size you had half in shade and half in full sun, which was ideal as I like to sun bathe and Lynne does not. We would have liked the recliner chairs to recline a bit more but could understand that this could create problems on the smaller standard size balconies.Sound insulation was good but unfortunately our cabin suffered a bit from cabin creak which was annoying at night (cabin C308 if you wish to avoid it!)
