The cruise was chosen because it did 3 overnight stays. We had read previous reviews and did not know what to expect but we felt ports would be exactly what we wanted
The first thing to say is the staff, crew and officers are superb. They try to meet every request.
The food we thought was amazing. I don't know what other people eat in their day to day life who complain?
The cabin was an ...
First of all - Cruises ARE NOT my choice of travel - but went with a friend who has been on 20+ cruises
and likes Azamara. Personally I prefer to 'chart my own course' - I don't need/want to be
herded onto a boat. Too much time is wasted at sea - too little time to explore interesting
cities.
The POSITIVES....I like the smaller boats- this was especially the case as St Petersburg ...
An unusual itinerary and a keen price.. The itinerary from which we booked showed arrival in Greenwich on 9th September at 1.15pm tendered. The ship was late and the tendering procedure using local tenders was appalling. The tender journey was short (approximately 5 minutes)but the one tender provided took 30 or 40 minutes to make a round trip. The result was that a huge line built up and we did ...
Had a wonderful time on our Azamara Journey cruise which began in Copenhagen and ended with an absolutely splendid, majestic sail right up the Thames in London to end in picturesque maritime Greenwich.
We flew the short hop to Copenhagen a day prior to the cruise and stayed at the Hotel Absalon, three minutes walk from the Central Station and six minutes walk from Tivoli World where we spent ...
This was our second ocean cruise and on the same ship as our first in 2017 and with the same captain. Everything was great on this cruise as well. We again routinely went to the Living Room for pre-dinner tapas and a drink before going to the main restaurant about 8 pm. There was a very good, laid back, trio: vocalist, keyboard and an excellent guitarist. Very relaxing after a busy day in port. ...
We boarded the ship in Copenhagen and departed in Stockholm after an 11-day journey visiting some interesting ports on the way.
We had a Stateroom with balcony booked. The cabin was small but manageable. Only comment we must make is that the design of the bathroom is very small with a shower difficult to manage for bigger persons. The room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. The ...
We are a couple in our 50's and booked this cruise because we wanted to see the Baltics/ Northern Europe and we wanted to try a better quality small ship cruise after getting very tired of the mega ships. We were very happy with our choice. The small ship experience is so much better for us. Embarkation and debarkation were totally hassle free. In addition we really enjoyed the excellent quality ...
I learned that cruises are not a good way to see places...you only see a glimpse. Azamara was okay. The waiter service was good. Food was okay...never had a great meal. Everything was average. Customer service desk was poor and unimpressive. Lacking knowledge and unimpressive personalities. Excursions were not especially impressive either. Little knowledge of local sights. I won't go on an ...
We decided to do this cruise although we have one booked for September on the same ship. We wanted to visit this area and it seemed an opportunity we did not want to miss when we saw it when on board late last year.
I admit we are devoted to Azamara. We were disappointed in the lectures this time and sometimes activities were scheduled at the same time - which was disappointing.
The trip ...
Thank you for the review manc. Being able to visit off-the-beaten-track villages is one of the benefits of sailing on a smaller ship like Azamara Journey.
We look forward to welcoming you...
Unfortunately this cruise did not meet my expectations. The food was average....no noteworthy meals. The service was good but the customer service staff and excursion staff was poor and lacking personality. Frankly, I wish I could get my money back and spend more for a better experience.
3 stars. Everything was adequate - neither more or less. For the money, I was hoping for more. I do not ...
Ouch Suzanne! We are used to getting excellent marks on our staff, service, restaurants, food, entertainment and activities...so I'm quite surprised by how unhappy you were.
Wishing you happy...
