We (2 retired couples) have just returned from our first experience with Azamara Cruises and had a trip along the Dalmation coast. It was a changed itinerary due to trouble in Egypt but really glad it was changed. We booked on this cruise for that reason and the fact it was a small ship. The ports were all very interesting and had some magnificent sail ins into ports where a commentary was given on deck. There were also several overnight stays which enabled you to spend extra time there. All transfers from ship to port were free and frequent.
We cant praise the staff enough on this cruise. They were efficient and very friendly and kept us informed all the time without announcements permanently being played in the cabin.
The staterooms were immaculate & included dressing gowns, fresh fruit daily and soft drinks. Free dining worked very well and this was the first time we had experienced this and in particular free wine with meals at lunch and dinner.
We had inside staterooms on this ship. They were quite spacious with plenty of storage. The cabins were just 2 abreast facing 2 more cabins so very quiet. The bathroom was compact but had everything you need with nice toiletries. TV reception wasn't always good but we didn't spent much time in the cabin so it wasn't a problem. The bed was extremely comfortable and the pillows best ever.
Free laundry down the main corridor was a bonus if required.
