Wanted to cruise the Adriatic and Croatia.and the Greek Islands on a small capacity luxury ship. Azamara Journey fit the bill. It was wonderful. So now we are picking up the Journey in Aukland New Zealand and cruising for 16 days around New Zealand and Australia .Can't wait! We booked before we left the ship in Athens. Loved the room service...breakfast served on our Veranda each morning! We ordered the nite before and gave the time we wanted it served. They have a great self service laundry with ironing . Which was so appreciated since we were on an 8 day land tour before boarding the ship. The wonderful blender drinks around the pool.were something we looked forward to each afternoon. The food was teriffic loved the suishi.The White night while anchored in Santorini was magical. Also the special show ashore in Dubrovnik was outstanding and so well organized. The entertainment was wonderful. Our cabin was well appointed and the King bed oh so comfortable.There were no children on board which made for a relaxed atmosphere My husband who did not like cruising is a convert!
