Wonderful azamara . What else can I say ,first class in every way ,from start to finish it was perfect ,well apart from 48hrs in isolation for minor stomach complaint on my husbands part may I add, but even then the staff could not do enough for us they were fantastic from our butler soraya and his assitant winston to guest relations especially nafera , hope my spelling is correct, and louise who was a fellow scot.They phoned our cabin at least 3 times every day to see that we had everything we needed, from meals to bottled water to free films, they were great. The ship itself was super everyone was very friendly, all the staff from the captain to the crew  of all the different departments. We are going on her sister ship the Quest in 2 weeks with 4 friends to celebrate my husbands big 60 and I am sure we will have the same wonderful time,hopefully without any need for isolation this time ,my husband has been well warned,but I am sure if the need arose that it would be carried out with the same professionalism as on the Journey. The reason that I joinened Cruise Critics was because of our great time on the Journey and I wanted to share my experience with fellow cruisers. So as this is my first review I hope all the experienced reviewers will forgive any mistakes I have made .Our trip from start to finish went very well ,no problems with flights or transfers they were well organised. In fact we were impressed at Rome airport as the rep even had a trolley for our luggage ready and waiting for us. on to the ship a welcoming glass of bubbly and no hassle having already done our check in on line .Meals were very good and the Aqualina and Prime C speciality restuarants excellent.Entertainment was first class ,the dancers ,orchestra etc very professional,in fact I much preferred the smaller more intimate setting and the audience participation than the more impersonal settings on the larger ships.The cruise director had a really good ,friendly manner and the guest acts were on the whole very entertaining.In fact I would find it very hard to try to find anything to complain about.One person who I better not forget to mention is the captains club representative Leisle,who gave us information about our next cruise which allowed us to upgrade to a balcony from an outside cabin at no extra cost .Our fellow cruisers were friendly and from many different countries which certainly made for some interesting discussions .So here we are 2 weeks to go till we board the Quest and I am sure another great cruising experience .
