Review of the Azamara Journey

This is the first cruise we have taken non any Azamara ship, which was part of the old Reinannance Cruise Lines that numbered their ships R-1, etc . This ship has been renovated in 2007 and is considered an intimate, 694 passenger ship with an elegant and relaxed atmosphere. According to an announcement on board as we sailed there were 531 passengers, thus the cruise was indeed relaxed. This cruise was 14 night transatlantic voyage that left Rome on November 15, 2010 and schddueld to arrive in Miami on 11/29/2010.PS---this is a "no tip" cruise ship with staff tips included in the fare.

BOARDING---The boarding took place at the Civitavecchia terminal located about 40 miles from Rome. The cruise line had all cruise check in counters opened when we arrived about 12:30PM. The process was smooth and orderly. One of the best check ins we have ever experienced for any cruise. We presented our "e-ticket" which we had previously printed and we were walking up the gangplank steps within minutes. We were met at the top of the steps by several Amazara staff members, one which was holding a glass of champagne. They advised our cabin would not be ready until 1:30PM and ask us to join them at a pre-cruise lunch on the 9th deck.

Cabin Review

Cabin 2A

Cabin 7116 is on the aft end of the ship--deck seven. This cabin is not for everyone as the movement of the ship will be felt. After all it is the front and rear end of the ship that does the most "tossing". The seas were not all that rough on this crossing thus our cabin was fine. The cabin is adequate but not overly large. The bathroom is small. The veranda was very lareg howver the stright back chairs are not the most comfortable. Our cabin had fresh flowers everyday, our refrigerator stocked with soft drinks (free) everyday and fresh fruit each day. Large towels and Emmis admenties in the bathroom.Very nice robes in the cabin. There is a safe and the cabin was kept spotless each day.
