Had some reservations about Azamara as the company had changed hands since our last cruise with them. However, we were happy with the ship, cabin comfortable, excellent cabin attendant Raymond. Food good in dining room and buffet.
We enjoyed the destination lectures.
Agree with previous reviewer, the drummers from Kagoshima were amazing.
Also the buffet on the deck before we reached ...
Had a great time on our first regent Cruise. The food and service were both excellent. We did miss not having a buffet available at dinner time.
Loved the Meridian Lounge with the many choices of craft cocktails.
The excursions were all very good. The only one we paid for was the trip to Hakone NP in Tokyo. Unfortunately, it was the worst weather day we had on the whole trip and we were ...
We have been very pleased with our suite. We were upgraded to a queens grill penthouse. ALTHOUGH WE PROBABLY HAD OVERPAID INITIALLY BECAUSE WE BOOKED WELL IN advance and prices were later reduced!
The catering has been excellent and the staff have been wonderful.
My complaint concerns shore excursions which have been poor. In mauritius we were travelling in a poor quality coach. There was ...
We just returned from 12 days in Japan on Riviera. We fell in love with Japan and will absolutely return someday!
Background:
Active couple (58 and 59), well traveled both on land and at sea, second O cruise, other cruises on X, HAL, RCCL, first trip to Asia, love good food and better wine. My comments are simply our impressions and I respect that others will have contrasting input. ...
1) Food was good, not great
2) Shore excursion guides were not always proficient in English
3) Hired non-Oceania guide for Kyoto (from GetYourGuide) and had wonderful experience
4) Excursion to view Mt Fuji was a wasted day - coming into the port in the AM provided the best view and photo ops from the ship’s deck - excursion took us to the far side of the bay (much further away) or a ...
This is our 6th cruise with Azamara and we were somewhat concerned at how things would be on board after suffering through the booking process on the new, badly implemented and frankly appalling booking system.
First impressions are that the ship is looking a little tired with some areas needing a spruce up but overall these issues are not major.
Officers and crew are, as usual, outstanding ...
Great Customer Service experience on this cruise. The Square's customer service agents, destination staff, and their supervisors were all top-notch. The personalized attention we received will keep us coming back to Seabourn.
Dining was hit and miss. We had some inedible and salty food at Earth and Ocean, where we usually like to dine. We had terrific Indian food that was specially prepared for ...
The ship altered the itinerary by an hour or 2 at each port (shorter), and that sent the shore excursion department into convulsions . There were line ups of 15 to 25 people constantly as the Shore excursion desk.
We enjoyed the lovely ship and our veranda B2 cabin was the nicest we have ever had at sea, (after 15 cruises.)
The food in the Terrace cafe was outstanding. We had a good ...
Joined the cruise just before the New Year and was impressed by the decoration and food variety. On NY’s eve, we were invited to the poolside party to join the music and dance before count down. The ice sculpture and costumes were free to enjoy and wear. Passengers were all dressed up in the event to cheer for the New year’s arrival.
After a late night, we were welcomed by an incredible Buffet ...
Just off Navigator last week. We are moderately experienced cruisers (~24 total), though this is our first Regent since the old Radisson Diamond in 1997.
We enjoyed the cruise, especially the excellent service and staff, both in the cabins and in the dining venues. There are always some glitchy times in dining, and this was no exception, as Christmas Day simply overwhelmed the ship's ability to ...
