I normally don't write reviews on travel, but after such a wonderful experience I felt obliged to acknowledge the great product Azamara offers. Nothing in this world is perfect or guaranteed, but honestly, I don't think any cruise line could have done any better. If I had to say what set this cruise apart from previous ones, it would be the friendly and attentive staff, the relaxed atmosphere, no line-ups for anything, and amazing food.

We sailed on the Azamara Journey from September 27, 2009 for 14 days from Barcelona to Athens. This was our 5th cruise and we previously cruised on NCL (Jade and Pearl) and RCL. We chose the Journey because of the itinerary and based on the positive reviews (the price was quite reasonable too!). Also, we liked the idea of a smaller ship with less lines, announcements, crowds etc.

The only reason I could think of why anyone would not love this cruise line is if you cherish large, splashy theatre shows, or require other amenities such as rock-climbing walls, bowling alleys etc. My thinking is that if you are travelling with teenagers they might find Azamara a bit dull in the evenings...but we left our teenagers at home this time (the house was still in tact when we got home!!).
