This was our second Azamara Cruise, so we knew what to expect. We had a night in Athens before joining the ship. We stayed at the Athens Diamond Plus Hotel which was very well located - about 5 minutes walk from Syntagma Square and 10 minutes walk from the Plaka and was very good value. We got a taxi to Pireus at 11:15. Embarkation was a dream - there was no queue and we were on-board by 12:00 ...

Four of us flew Emirates to Athens, stayed 2 nights and boarded Azamara Quest to Mumbai. The accomodation in Athens at the Divani Caravel was very comfortable. Our visits to Greek Tavernas were memorable, the food & service was superb & the Raki finished the night in good spirits. We embarked on the Quest on 10th Nov. and the whole experience escalated from there. The Captain on the ship was ...

just finished reading a review by Neil, who was apparently on the same cruise, and took some of the same tours. I concur entirely with his comments on Dubai and KL, both ports new to us---no reason to return to either unless it's the only way to get somewhere else; in Dubai, the only thing of real interest, unless you like treeless compounds or are heavy into architecture and/or spending money ...

Having read other reviews we booked the cruise on Azamara Quest from Athens to Singapore and some aspects of the cruise did not live up to our expectations, based on previous reviews. I will cover both the positive and negative points below, in order to provide a more balanced review, which I hope will be of assistance to those considering an Azamara cruise. EMBARKATION. If, like us, you arrived ...

Having sailed on the same ship during a much shorter trip in January, my wife and I were interested in finding out whether the same high standards would be maintained over the 24 days that passed between our embarkation in Athens to the time we disembarked in Singapore. In his review, Neil Down has already commented on many aspects of the cruise, and we would agree with almost all that he has ...

We have just returned home after a quite brilliant 25 night cruise on Azamara Quest. It has been, as the title suggests, a cruise of extremes. Extreme one: Normal cruises are action packed, a port a day, a head-long hurtling adventure which is over in a flash. This cruise was a long lazy repositioning cruise with so many sea days stretching before us and only a few, spasmodic interruptions when ...

Going Cruising .. At 12.30 we arrived at the ship in Piraeus. We checked our bags in curbside and boarded straight away. There was a convenient hand luggage check-in, to avoid the need to drag bags everywhere, and lunch was being served in the buffet. So far so good !! Cabins were ready by 2pm and we headed off to 7116 .. complete with Sunset Veranda where our view for 24 days was the wake ...
