This was my second cruise with Azamara and, booking very early, I landed a suite as a solo and "what a difference a suite makes." First time was in a veranda cabin -- not bad, aside from the notorious shower, but very small. The suite is essentially twice the size, the bathroom much bigger and the veranda wonderful. The butler was a joy to know, attentive, friendly, just great. Also, dining in ...

Great ports, not so great ship experience

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 ...

Terrible Customer Service

The ship was very nice and the staff on board were fantastic. The pool was much too small for the number of people on the ship. The restaurants were all very good. Without the issue I am going to address I would have given a rating of 4.5 out of 5. My major complaint and what puts a very bad taste in my mouth for this cruise line is the customer service after the cruise. I paid $250.00 U.S. (I am ...

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 ...

Second time travelling with Azamara (first since the takeover and what a difference between products. The crappy service started right from the arrival at Istanbul Airport. We had booked airport transfers through Azamara only to figure out for ourselves after waiting for an hour and numerous calls to their non existent ‘emergency’ help desk that they had not booked them so we had to catch a $70 ...

This was our first cruise on Azamara and they completed exceeded our expectations. Coming out of COVID, we wanted to cruise on a smaller boat, and one of the recommendations from our travel agent was Azamara. Communications after booking the cruise were good. Port check-in and security clearance in Athens (Piraeus) was simple taking only about 30 min, and they did a very simple safety briefing ...

We chose this cruise as it was a smaller ship. We found it much more intimate, no queues and everybody was so friendly. The ship holds 700 passengers but there were only 400 on board. The negatives are the swimming pool was small which if the ship had full capacity this could be a problem. Even though the interior of the ship had been re-furnished they had not done the staterooms. The ...

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 ...
