We have been on over 15 10-14 day cruises on Celebrity and a few on Prncess- the big and mid size ships and enjoyed them immensely. When we met other cruisers on these cruises they as well as our travel agent raved about Azumara. When we found a back to back itinerary we liked 18 months ago we booked the Azamara cruises. Due to the number of cruises on Celebrity we were at a high tier in the Captains Club and our first cruise on the Journey took us to the next level.
We flew to Athens a few days early so we would not have jet lag on the cruise. We took a taxi to the port and were greeted by an Azamara rep who got a porter to take our bags and escorted us to the check in area. I was surprised to see coffee and snacks available for people who were checking in. The check in process was quick and we boarded the ship and headed to the 9th fl. for a buffet lunch while waiting to get into our cabin.

worst part was we had children in the cabin next to us and for two nights they were extremely loud and didn't quiet down until after midnight. On the second night we called guest relations and complained. I guess rather than going up to the cabin and asking them to quiet down they must have called them. The children seemed to get louder and the adult in the cabin was yelling. Finally at 12:30pm- 30 mins after we complained - they quieted down.
