Azamara Journey Review

Additional details
Our trip to the Antarctic on the Azamara Journey was by far the best criuse we have ever done. The Captain set the tone of the voyage as he was friendly and visible throughout and this attidude went for the whole crew from the Cruise Director (Eric) to the waiters and the room stewards. Nothing was too much for them.
Embarkation in Buenos Airies was fast and stress free with the Captain at the end of the steps to welcome each passenger (as he was at the end of the cruise to say farewell). We were welcomed with Champagne and taken to our stateroom where there was fresh flowers and a bowl of fruit. It was immaculate and kept that way throughout the trip by Aldo. In fact we had fresh flowers and fruit on a daily basis - not a mean feat in the Antarctic Ice.
The voyage was fantastic. Out first port of call on day four was the Falkland Islands - a place we never thought was would get to. We took a trip to Bluff Cove to see the penguins (Gentoo, King and Magellenic) then discovered Port Stantley on our own. It was good to see that most of the crew were able to get ashore and also go on the tours - treated by the Captain. We later saw our room stewards photographs as he was very excited by this particular cruise.
Cabin Review
Cabin 7073 midship - had a balcony which though small was perfectly adequate. We were not able to use it as much as we usually do due to the fact that we were in Antactica and it was too cold.
Great storage with lots of drawers, cupboards and hanging space.
Only gripe with the cabin was that the shower was too small.
