Review of Azamara Quest May 16-30, 2009 "Best of Italy" Cruise
Pre-Cruise and Planning. We had originally booked the Quest for January, 2010, on a Far-Eastern itinerary. However, when we began to try and put the details together, look at airfares, schedule flights, hotels, etc. neither my wife nor I was terribly happy with the end result. When my wife ran across this itinerary, we decided to switch the booking and go back to Italy. Are we ever glad!
The roll call for this sailing was/is the most active one in which I have participated in my Cruise Critic Membership. Prior to departing Charlotte, there were over 1550 posts, and we had 75 Cruise Critic Members registered for the Connections Party. I felt that I had already made a number of new friends even before we got on the ship; and I was right. Just a great, great group of people.
Very well laid out and comfortable. Excellent storage and closet arrangements. Bathroom small, but again effectively designed for usability. No noise except when anchor released and that only momentary. IMHO, Deck Seven is the best deck on both Azamara Ships.
