We have cruised with Azamara several times in the past , and have always had a great experience ! And this , was no different !
This was a 9 night crossing from Lisbon to Bridgetown, Barbados , one stop in Madeira .
From the outset , we received excellent service. We checked in leisurely at Lisbon, and boarded the ship in time for lunch.
Staterooms were ready from about 1.30pm and our ...
This was our first cruise with Azamara and sixth overall. The ship returned to the fleet after an overhaul in May 2022. Veranda cabins are 176 square feet but adequate. There were about 590 on board with a crew of 400. We boarded in Lisbon in a very efficient fashion. Orientation was quick and smooth. We went to our cabin and then directly to the pool bar Deck 9 mid-ship. The Windows Cafe buffet ...
The short story is we had a great cruise. We've sailed with Azamara one other time and this is about our 35th cruise overall. We've done small all the way up to mega-sized ships. There's pros/cons to them all and we enjoy all the experiences with some big differences between them. Azamara's advantages are known. The overnights. The Azamazing Evenings. Their ability to get close in on many ...
This was our first time on Azamara. Friends of ours who went with us on this cruise, had sailed with them before and they spoke very highly of the line. Our itinerary was from Lisbon to Barcelona and was 9 nights in length. We tacked on a couple of extra days on each end of the trip and made it a full two weeks. It was such a different experience from the mega ships, several of which we have ...
This is our feedback on the cruise we booked onboard following our 2022 France intensive cruise. This time it's Spain intensive (Lisbon to Barcelona). Since we only sail Azamara it's an Azamara 2022 V Azamara 2023 comparison.
Once again, we sailed on the Journey and, as previously, the ship sailed and arrived exactly as scheduled in each port and in every case appeared to have the best berth ...
This cruise was chosen to celebrate my 50th birthday because my travel companion did the Spring 2022 crossing from Miami to Lisbon and loved it.
The cruise was fabulous! I highly recommend doing it if you have the chance. All the staff were incredible. A special shout out to the multi-talented hostess Evelyn, the amazing waitstaff and bartenders, especially Alfred, Ramses, Edward, Milton, ...
This was our 2nd trip on the Quest -- both during COVID.
We travelled in late October from Rome to Barcelona. Amazing service during that trip and while the service this time was very good it wasn't as impressive or sharp as in October. Staff seemed so eager back in October and have since dulled a bit in enthusiasm but they're still fantastic.
Food (and entertainment) we found to be the ...
We are in our sixties and have been in more than 30 cruises so far. This one was our first with AZAMARA. The ship is beautiful and the perfect size for this itinerary. From the moment we step onboard we were welcomed by our names by the Captain and all the staff. It was so nice and unexpected! We went directly to the cabin and we had a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries as a ...
My wife and I have been cruising for several year - often 3 cruises per year - but had not yet tried an upscale cruise like Azamara. The first thing that we noticed, not surprisingly, was that the Pursuit was not quite as large as the other cruise ships we had taken previously. Next we noticed that the crew seemed to be more friendly than on other, larger ships.
We subsequently determined ...
This was our 9th cruise with Azamara, but our first ever transatlantic and our first cruise on the Pursuit. We chose it because we love sea days, but it also had 6 ports of call, so a good combination.
We had a couple of nights in Lisbon before the cruise and were really pleased that we had done so, there’s so much to see and do. We booked the Holiday Inn Express Avenida de Liberdade mainly ...
Thank you HGC for the lovely review. So sorry to hear DH had a chest cold. That's not fun!
But I am glad you got to visit Buzios...it's one of my favorite places in Brazil....
