Second time on this ship, first time post covid and hopes were high. I think it is important to differentiate between brands and definitions of ‘luxury small ship cruising’ before offering a fair review.
Azamara offers small ship all-inclusive cruising in a boutique setting. This is NOT 6 star (hate that phrase anyway). If you are looking for the above with an all-suite, all-butler style ...
We recently returned from our Italy Intensive cruise on Azamara and wouldn't be able to say enough good things about it! The only small complaint would be the shower was a little smallish but it was still plenty effective. Our veranda room was really nice and comfortable with lots of storage. We are a 60ish active couple that have cruised a fair amount of times. The onboard staff were extremely ...
We have cruised about 300 days with many other cruise lines and this was our first cruise with Azamara. We found the staff to be the nicest and most helpful of all the cruise lines we have been with. I have a mobility scooter and they were extremely helpful when I had difficulty getting around. The ship is older and not too accessible. There were high ledges and doors to open that could not ...
We just got back from a wonderful Mediterranean cruise, on Azamara Journey. This cruise line is so wonderful ! We have been on 10 cruises, to date. Azamara has been the most attentive, efficient, kind helpful to its passengers.
From the captain, who greets you every morning with info and is there when you leave the ship for port adventure.
He kept us informed ,communicated and was friendly ...
Overall, I would give the cruise about a 4.8. The things that bothered me didn't warrant much of a negative review, so I wouldn't knock the cruise down too much. As for the negative things - I signed up for the cruise about a year early and didn't realize Azamara was going through changes and a new website/computer system set up, etc, and I signed up for all of the excursions at the beginning ...
After using Azamara previously, we were delighted to sail with them again. The voyage covered Barcelona (where we boarded the ship); Marseille, Monaco, Livorno, Rome, Sorrento; Amalfi and Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia ending up in 'Chioggia' (Venice) - a great selection of destinations. We had booked a Balcony Plus room right at the back of the ship and whereas the cabin was fine, it was a ...
Our first cruise experience. Couldn’t have been more wonderful and a lot is down to Elro, our butler, who looked after us so wonderfully.
The whole cruise experience was magical, all the crew are warm, friendly and so very helpful.
I don’t think I’d look for another small ship cruise line and if you’re on Azamara, and you have Elro helping you, you are truly blessed.
Food choices are ...
We chose this cruise because it gave us the opportunity to try a Club Continent Suite at a very reasonable cost. We made a great decision. Although we were put off by the negative reviews that we had read on this site, we are happy to say that the Onward is a beautiful, well staffed and well run ship. Our cruise couldn't have been better. Our suite was clean, bright, and well appointed. The ...
Having not sailed with Azamara before we thought we'd give them a try on a weeks cruise from Monte Carlo to Rome. We have been cruising for many years but this was our first cruise with a premium cruise line. We were not disappointed.
We chose to use Azamara's flight and transfer service and this worked really well. We did have an issue when checking in on the quay side as our room keys ...
I can’t say enough about this cruise, it was wonderful ! I was worried after reading other reviews, but this ship is in beautiful condition. It is not “tired”! I had no issues with the bathroom and the staterooms are lovely.
The staff, crew, and officers couldn’t do enough for you. I loved how the officers were often present and even helped serve at the buffets. I had three opportunities to ...
