We had been on the Journey twice before [ 1)Great Britain, Scotland, Ireland and 2) the Western Mediterranean] and it was fantastic. Weather was poor here in North Carolina and we saw that the Journey was in the Caribbean. We signed up based on our previous experiences with Azamara, and the Journey specifically. We did not even check the itinerary until one week before the cruise. No sooner had we gotten on board, when two crewmen hugged my wife. "You're back, so glad to see you."
