1-10 of 12 Athens (Piraeus) to Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Azamara Onward Cruise Reviews
While we enjoyed most ports and enjoyed our vacation, we were overall disappointed with how Azamara has changed. The biggest disappointment was with the quality of the food in the main restaurant (Discoveries). We've taken many cruises (and 3 others with Azamara) and can easily say this was the worst food we've experienced on any of them.
While we enjoyed the quality of the linens in the ...
Almost everything is perfect is this cruise if you travel in a suite cabin. The outstanding service level, the logistics, the shore excursions organization, the exclusive access to high quality specialty restaurants, the Philippine band was amazing and the cruise stops were really well together. All the staff on on board was genuinely nice, careful and always available to help.
The only 3 ...
I’ll start with the pros:
Outstanding staff – wait, room and bar staff were all superb. Professional and attentive. Praise goes to Milton and Mike in the Atlas bar. The perfect dynamic duo, gracious and fun.
Food was excellent. We dined in Discoveries every night. Varied selections each night along with standards to order. Delicious and beautifully presented. If you have a favorite wait ...
This cruise/ship was recommended to us by a Travel agent as we were seeking an alternative to the mega ships.
Although an older ship built in 1999, it was totally refurbished in 2021 when Azamara bought the boat. Admittedly we had a suite and our room was awesome.
Staff was attentive, smiling, and helped make the cruise what it was.
Captain Smith was engaging and had a great sense of ...
Cruised over 25 times on the mid size to large ships with both Celebrity and Royal, and this was my thoughts on this trip as points against both Celebrity & Royal :-
1. Small ship was really good, even though it is an old ship with a new refurb, air conditioning not as good as the new ships, and with a full Theatre it became a little unbearable when the temp outside was high, otherwise anything ...
We chose this cruise because we like ships that are on the smaller side. There were 616 passengers on our cruise. There was a blend of people from different countries, although United States was by far the most. As others have said, it was so disorganized leading up to the cruise that I was worried. However, once we got to the pier, everything was perfect. We arrived early since we had to check ...
We wanted a smaller ship, with less people,which would go only to the islands and location in Greece.
Did not want to repeat beginning or ending in Venice, Barcelona, or Rome.
Wanted an adult demographic.
Wanted upscale quality of food as we preferred avoiding the Buffet crowds when wanting to have the relaxing and quiet meals. Buffet quality was great, when time was a concern and needed ...
I sailed on the January 5, 2023 12 night Caribbean voyage from Miami. This was my 4th cruise on Azamara, the most recent being in July 2022 (Journey), December 2019 (Quest) and before that a 2008 voyage on Quest when the line was in its infancy. My most recent experience left me disappointed in quality of both food and entertainment, and what I consider to be a poorly managed ship that is still ...
I have not been on Azamara in about 10 years for no reason other than much of my travel has not been on cruise ships but rather to interior destinations. Much has remained the same. The same excellent and caring service, the great itineraries which are port intensive, well-maintained ship (our suite was spotless and very up to date) and the food is excellent.
But my same complaints persist. ...
After reading on the Azamara board that.. "the reviews section seems to get a lot of 'one and done's – and that group of posters is always more negative than those who have more experience (with a cruise line, and with cruising in general)" .. I figured I would post my two cents as a multi time Azamara guest and long time cruiser (Celebrity, Azamara and SeaDream) and a "Destination Expert" on ...
