This was our first Azamara cruise and we liked it so much, we've already booked our next one. We were fortunate to be the first passengers after the refit in Singapore and we found a beautifully appointed ship with comfortable places to relax, have a drink, meet friends, eat a wonderful dinner, or have a quiet moment. What we loved about the size of the ship is there are no lines like you get on the standard cruises - no long wait to embark, no hunting for a table at breakfast or lunch, no lines to go off on a shore excursion, no lines at any of the dining venues, and always a comfy lounger by the pool!

Everything was elegant, civilized, amazingly clean, comfortable and relaxed. Nothing was snobby and I was happy to see people had left the ball caps and cut offs as well as the ball gowns at home. We met people from all over the world and everyone was warm and friendly.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention the service. Every single person, from the cabin attendants to the Captain were friendly, helpful and available to all the guests and we each were made to feel like family. We filled out a survey on the third day about how things were going. I mentioned that the entertainment in the Living Room during the cocktail and tapas hours was too loud for conversation. I received calls from the cruise director, the head of hotel services and from guest relations. The music was immediately toned down (and the number of people in the bar increased) and I was thanked several times for speaking up. Everyone made an effort to know our names, and after the first few days, knew what we liked to drink and where we liked to sit.

Cabin Review

Club Deluxe Veranda Stateroom

Cabin VX

The cabins are beautiful in their new design and very comfortable. I've given it 4 stars only because the bathroom is minuscule. This is an older ship that has been redone and there are certain constraints you can't get around-a tiny shower being one. However, the cabin was quiet, well-located, had ample storage and lovely enough that we've booked the same room on our next cruise.

We chose to go it alone and were happy with our decision. There is a free shuttle from the ship to the Mutrah Souk, the main shopping bazaar. It was Friday, the holy day, so we shopped among local families doing their shopping. We also walked along the Corniche, or waterfront, and talked to some men fishing and a family out together.
