We went on an Azamara cruise of the Mediterranean before Covid and really enjoyed it. However, we were very disappointed in the food on this cruise with the exception of the desserts - they were great! We fought with Azamara throughout the cruise trying to get credit for our full onboard credit. They did get it fixed in the end, but it was a major hassle.
The entertainment was worse than ...
I have never done AZAMARA before my best friends did and had a great time. I originally booked a greek cruise and was cancelled, no lift and shift then there was so this was the cheapest i could find.
PRE CRUISE.
As it was my birthday on 27th oct this was the closest i could find. I asked others if we could meet up in ROME for a DINNER was not interested.
I flew out on 26th oct to ROME, ...
We normally sail with Celebrity but had a tight timeline and wanted to see something new. Azamara was going somewhere we hadn't been and exactly on the day we needed to go, so we paid the much higher fare and expected a higher level of service than the normally very good service we have experienced on Celebrity.
The best part about Azamara is the smaller ship. Getting closer to the ports is ...
Thank you hennesseystealth for taking the time to write a cruise review. Your comments will be shared with the appropriate departments; though I hope you also let them know while onboard to...
Friends had been on Azamara and suggested we join them. We were happy woth the itinerary, the ship was very nice and there were 2 very special events.
I gave a lower score because the service was less than acceptable. It seemed that the wait staff was staffed with a majority of new employees. It was very obvious.
Entertainment was extremely weak, food was slightly better than average and ...
The Cruise was good, the ship is tired, the staff were great but they were no better than our experiences on Celebrity. In fact we felt the dining room staff on Celebrity were more attentive. The drinks policey did not really fit in with us, the wines were flat bottomed and cheap, we upgraded to the ultimate package but still had to pay $$$ for a port, which to me is ridiculous. The included ...
Hello swigso, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your cruise on the Azamara Journey. It sounds like we aren't a good match for you.
We wish you many future cruises on Celebrity, our big-sister...
As Mobility Challenged people we booked this cruise because we had a very positive experience on the Journey a couple of years ago. How things have changed!! We booked a pre-cruise stay and Azamara put us in the Empire Palace Hotel in Rome (see review on Trip Advisor). Why this hotel was selected is a mystery since it is far from either historic Rome or the Vatican and is in an "iffy" ...
We chose this cruise because we were asked to cancel a previous cruise with Oceania which was over-booked! We had a problem finding a cruise at such a late date. We thought that Azamara would be a good bet as it is supposed to be a 6-star cruise ship, having previously been on Oceania and Seabourn we had great hopes but unfortunately were were disappointed. The stateroom and especially the ...
Chose this cruise primarily for the itinerary, and it did not disappoint. Sailed from Rome and stopped at Sorrento, Amalfi, Taormina (Sicily), Mykonos, and Santorini before ending in Athens. So many choices for Sorrento and Amalfi.
We did a small boat tour to Capri, which was excellent at Sorrento. Did not book through Azamara as we did not like any of their choices and they were very over ...
Where do I start? How about at the airport where we were met and herded to a hallway location and left for an hour, only to be put on the wrong bus. Azamara topped that entrance with an even greater exit! We got a letter on our bed the day before the cruise ended notifying us that our tour of Rome was canceled, leaving us stranded at the dock. Were it not for the extraordinary efforts of Guest ...
This was our 10th cruise and we and our friends were very much looking forward to it but sadly Journey could not compare to Oceania's beautiful Riviera in any way ( we together with friends had sailed on Riviera twice in the last 12 months - read my review) and we also felt that Celebrity's own Solstice class ships were also so much nicer for half the price!
We found Azamara Journey to be very ...
