Travelled from New York to have an intensive New Zealand cruise and to experience what some would call the 8th wonder of the world in cruising Milford Sound. Instead azamarra decided to save money and not follow the New Zealand regulations which were issued on Oct 2022 -3 months before the sailing date- to get its ship hull properly inspected and cleaned. They knew in advance that their failure ...
chose for the ports to include NZ and Oz.
over 15 nights 5 shows were fairly good, but the 10 others were dire. They use a company called level 54 who are shocking.
many nights the audience only numbered about 30 out of 650+ passengers on board which pretty much sums it up.
The tv films in the cabin were very old (eg under a tuscan sky) and went on repeat in the 2nd week which is ...
We booked the Azamara Quest cruise from Sydney to Bali sailing on 13th February 2016 way back in 2014. The itinerary looked fabulous and we had been advised that as cruise virgins we should go high end. This looked to be perfect. However, we were then told by seriously experienced cruisers that if we wanted to enjoy luxury cruising without the price tag we should try Celebrity, which we did in ...
We were so looking forward to this cruise as we had travelled on the Azamara Journey previously and had thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This recent cruise was a different kettle of fish and not high on our list of good experiences. The embarkation was a debacle. It was very hot & humid in Cairns and standing waiting in line for 2 hours was not a good start to the cruise. When we finally ...
My husband and I love cruising, and have just enjoyed our 20 th cruise.
However we were so disappointed with our cruise earlier this month on Azamara Quest.
We had joined the Journey in Singapore two years previously for an Asia cruise and seriously ,you would not find greater ambassadors for the brand than us! We told all our friends how wonderful it was ,and encouraged so many people to ...
This was our 7th cruise with Azamara, and by far the most disappointing.
The ship is tired and well overdue the overall planned refurb within the next few months, but that was what we expected.
The ports were very much as we anticipated but Lombok, Thursday Island and Cooktown are really not geared up to visitors. We enjoyed Darwin, with the exception of the Azamazing evening, Port Douglas ...
My wife and I have just returned home from a Christmas/New Year cruise and I would like to provide you with some feedback about the Azamara Quest.
Azamara Quest is classed as being 5.5 star; believe me, it is most certainly nowhere near that. We have travelled on most cruise lines and we know what’s 3, 4, 5 and 6 star. We had an Ocean View cabin and it was nowhere near adequate. It was way too ...
Just returned for Indonesia / Australia cruise on the Quest.
We have been on Azamara several times and have previously been very satisfied.
However, it was very noticeable on this cruise that the standards had dropped.
The staff are still absolutely first class but they are being denied the tools to work with.
As with other contributors, we noticed that the standard of the food had ...
As always with Azamara the staff and crew are faultless, the problem was the destinations visited. Azamara moto is we take you where other cruise lines can't, but if there is nothing of interest at those destinations or no the only access is by very pushy island vendors then they are wasted days. Lombok was very dissapointing and spent probably 5 minutes ashore.
Azamara usually put on coaches ...
This was a back to back cruise Singapore to Cairns. Standards have fallen. The Discovery Dining Room evening menu lacked choice and the menu seemed to be repeated too often. Previously the evening meal was something to look forward too, but now just another event. Seems that Azamara have a "slash and burn policy." Complimentary wines are of a low quality and waiters were passing off blended wine ...
