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 ...
Friends had been with Azamara on a number of occasions. We have been on many cruise ships, but were encouraged by the good reviews. We received no information about the cruise in anyway whatsoever until about 2 days before. Had to ring repeatedly. Very sad to hear Azamazing would not be taking place. It was one of the reasons we chose the cruise. We had 2 days in Rome hotel which was lovely, ...
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 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 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...

Azamara "Policy" is to completely IGNORE any concerns or medical issues starting at the "Corporate level". We spent 7 days with the Onward ship of which is clean and service people are great for the majority with a few exceptions in waiters and bar tenders but the problems started day two:
1. Day two the ship offered a buffet of which included under cooked meats and improperly ...
Azamara's tech upgrade is a nightmare. You cannot log into your record, even though they say that they are working on those pax within 30 days. Nope. After 4 hours on hold, I finally got a person who only abandoned the call. To add insult to injury I was beyond polite to her and never raised my voice. The upgrade wasn't her fault. However leaving my call was!
The enormous headache is so ...
My daughter and I both took a girlfriend for the Italy and Greece cruise April 1st on Azamara Pursuit. We all loved it. It was decorated like a nice boutique hotel. We were more than pleased with the cabins and the quality of food and service. Despite the cruise being at capacity the service was absolutely excellent. We asked for our favorite waiters each night and were sat in their sections in a ...
