We loved it.

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Azamara Onward

The happy travel guy
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

Able to drop off our cases at bag drop on our arrival midday, check-in was shown to commence at 14.00 and it did. As we all know currently due to Covid requirements this can be a laborious process but in all fairness all went well for us (if only people helped themselves a little more e.g. paperwork wise etc things would definitely run quicker). It's quite some time since we've sailed with Azamara ...

Up to Azamara's usual good standards

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Azamara Onward

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

We love Azamara for its informal, friendly feel, along with excellent service, great food and inclusive wines. We definitely enjoy the small ships and interesting itineraries. Having experienced one mega-ship cruise, we will never go above 700 capacity again. Staff were brilliant throughout the ship. One thing we love about Azamara is that the staff make such an effort to use your name, to ...

Azamara continues to impress.

Review for a Mediterranean Cruise on Azamara Journey

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We have sailed on Azamara before, so its clear that they offer a product that we value. 1/ An example of their service: at embarkation in Istanbul it was raining. Evaluating the next day's forecast, Captain Magnus decided, I'm certain with headquarters' approval, to switch the first 2 ports so as to maximize our chance of good weather. This tactic worked perfectly, although I'm positive it ...

Review for a Greece Cruise on Azamara Journey

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

This was our first cruise with Azamara. We wanted the smaller ship experience and have to admit we liked it. We chose this cruise for the itinerary and a special price - double upgrade to a verandah cabin. The ship was nice, clean and fortunately well functioning. (We had heard stories of plumbing problems.) The staff was generally friendly and the food was good. The food and service were ...

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on Azamara Journey

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We enjoyed our recent cruise on the Azamara Journey. The staff is outstanding, very friendly and seem to actively anticipate our needs and wants. This is very different from a lot of the other cruises we have been on (14 in the last 4 years). However, when we were last on an Azamara cruise two years ago, we raved about the food served in the Dining Room. We thought it was wonderful. Not ...

Great First Time on Azamara

Review for a Mediterranean Cruise on Azamara Journey

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

I have read a lot of forum posts comparing Azamara and Oceania, and now that I have been on both lines, I know what the Azamara fans are talking about. The interaction with the crew on the Journey was something I had never experienced before, and I have been cruising for many years on many lines (except what are considered the "luxury" lines). I really enjoyed getting to know the officers and crew ...

Good but Not as Good as the Quest

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Azamara Journey

weluv2trvl
First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We took the 10 night Greek Isles Amalfi coast cruise 4/27/15. At first glance, the ship is so similar to the Quest that it's amazing:) We thoroughly enjoyed everything about our last 2 cruises on Azamara so we were so excited! But it wasn't quiet there for us. The staff is fantastic, don't get me wrong but the cruise director and his staff left alot to be desired. We hardly saw them except ...

A Wonderful First Cruise Experience!

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Azamara Journey

JoeMama#1
First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

I was really nervous before taking my first cruise. I read so many reviews regarding different issues that passengers had. I was so relieved the minute I walked into the port. The staff was courteous and very efficient getting us on board the ship. Upon arrival to our room, our bags were outside our door. The room was clean and very adequate. My husband and I both found the staff ...

Fantastic First Cruise Experience

Review for a Mediterranean Cruise on Azamara Journey

jendave15
First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

This was our first experience cruising and we enjoyed ever minute of it. The food was good, as was the choice of drinks that were included. We could not fault the staff they were helpful , friendly and courteous. Our cabin stewards, Ivo and Sajet, were wonderful, they were hardworking and the cabin was always immaculate nothing we asked was a problem to them. Our only negative was with the art ...

Review for a Mediterranean Cruise on Azamara Journey

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

This was our 2nd cruise this year so you cannot help comparing the two. Azamara just switched to the all-inclusive system and you can tell. Small examples: They try to up sell everything which I hate. The drink/bar menu first shows 20 pages with drinks you have to pay extra for, the last page and even the backside of that page shows the complimentary drinks. Why....... For 2 restaurants you have ...
