Another superb cruise on the Azamara Quest, we were in a club continent suite this time as the bathroom in a veranda room is very small , our suite was very nice lots of storage and we were able to put the suitcases under the bed. The company has changed hands since our last voyage and it is noticeable in the cuts they are making considering the guests on board we’re 54% return cruisers they ...
As embarkation goes, it has to be the worst in all my years cruising. There were only 550 odd of us but it over 2 hours in makeshift tents, fighting for seats, coffee and biscuits ran out and after we got on and did the mandatory safety briefing - the buffet had closed.
We’d set off from Gatwick before 7.00am so we were tired, hungry and thirsty - NOT a good first impression of Azamara ...
While we have been to Italy before, this itinerary provided stops at places we had not previously visited such as Capri, Amalfi, Syracuse, Messina and Montengro.
The crew could not have provided a better experience. From our room steward Gedy to the restaurant team that provided us with a plate of fresh sushi each evening in Windows before heading to the dining room. All special requests ...
A very nice cruise. I was surprised that the entertainment was very good. 6 young people, the cruise director and assistant cruise director. The cruise director, Eric, has an extensive resume. He was fantastic. We didn't get to see his main performance one night because the venue was full. 590 passengers (capacity 670) and there were 50 people turned away??? They took us all ashore one night for a ...
I was a solo passenger (Discoverer Level) on the 9-27 to 10-4 Azamara Onward Rome to Venice with stops in Sorrento, Kotor, Dubrovnik, Sibenik, and Trieste.
The Azamara website has had major issues since migrating from the RCI booking system to its own starting in March. There are still issues with the site. I'm happy to report that everything was 100% correct with loyalty benefits, OBC, and ...
The staff, cuisine and ability for the ship to enter all ports owing to it's size, were truly excellent. The entertainment was a standout especially as regards the external talent. The Azamara troupe was full of xing but not always great individual singing talent. That said...as a troupe they were just fine and the Cruise Directors excellent. Yes the ship is in need of some TLC as it has clearly ...
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 ...
Our first time cruising with Azamara. Have cruised with Oceania, P&O, Celebrity, RCL, etc before.
Picked up the free transfer from Tronchetto, Venice, it was 55 minute bus ride down to Chioggia, where the Quest was docked.
Boarding; was not the smoothest. Everything was done by paper (no computer) with only 3 stations managing the check in process. This took just over an hour. Then ...
After taking around 60 cruises
we were interested to see how the cruise would be on Azamara since the buy out from Royal Caribbean
The entertainment was the bare minimum with the same 6 singers and dancers every night
except for the Azamazing evening. This was a huge disappointment as we all thought we were going to be taken somewhere wonderful but ended up with some folk dancers being ...
Azamara Cruise:
Ship :
The ship was small and not overcrowded, which was nice as it allowed for personal attention and no long queues.
Staterooms were good, and Deck 5 was pleasant as well.
However, the ship is still quite old and could benefit from renovation.
Deck 9, including the pool area and Windows Cafe (main buffet restaurant), does not meet the luxury/upper standards.
The ...
