Azamara Journey - Southeastern Mediterranean (October 11, 2009 - October 25, 2009)
"The Pursuit of Excellence" Reflecting on the voyage, I would characterize the ethos of the ship's officers, staff, and crew as having a focus on this motivation by demonstrated behavior and actions. For the record, we are in no way connected to the cruise company or any travel business - we are experienced cruisers - on the Azamara Journey and mostly on Celebrity ships but also with Royal Caribbean and Holland America.
Now, on to some specific observations and reflections:
On the R-8 Class of ships, a long voyage is much more comfortable in one of the Sky Suites (this time 8069) - more space in every sense - a large amount of storage space, a larger bathroom with a bathtub/shower, excellent products (Elemis) - really a nice way to 'clean up' and perform the 'beautification routines'. The towels are nice and thick and very absorbent and the bedding is great.
