Azamara Cruise Reviews for Senior to Baltic Sea

I chose the BTB cruises of Scotland and Ireland because of the itineraries. Loved all the places where we docked, especially Oban in Scotland and Dublin and Londonderry in Ireland. Special thanks to cabin steward Malik. And a shout-out to 3 super-talented (and nice ) people:Stephen , a terrific cruise director - Jose, the assistant cruise director- and singer-pianist Vasi. This trio ...

This was our 4th trip on Azamara, all of which have been on Journey so boarding feels very familiar. We embarked in Amsterdam which was extremely well organised and we were surprised t be recognised by the Hotel Director from our previous cruise. That feels good and coincidentally was useful as we had had a lot of pre-cruise problems which we had been unable to resolve . This included booking us ...

First, the positive impressions - as compared to my expectations: - Service was outstanding! They were right on top of everything without being overbearing. - Cruise itinerary due to smaller ship size. Even when tenders were required it was efficiently operated. - Food quality and presentation. - Dining room atmosphere. Noise level was low with no disturbing background music. ...

We have sailed on a wide variety of cruises from a pricing perspective, with Azamara running towards the higher end. We chose this cruise based largely on its self-description as a port intensive, all inclusive journey. We found neither to be the case. Two of the ports were particularly disappointing. Invergordon, the port for Inverness, is a small town with very little going on, and is a 45 ...

Having cruised multiple times but never on an Azamara ship, I was anxious to experience what she had to offer. I chose the Quest for the itinerary around Scotland. Even with the residual covid problems, crew in masks etc., the ship was fantastic. I loved the smaller size of the ship, the upscale food and the way it was beautifully presented. Our captain was very friendly and often seen around ...

We did Norway in the winter on Viking and couldn’t wait to return to our favourite country with Azamara and a Norwegian captain. Embarkation in Dublin was very easy, there are no port facilities so it was part in a tent off ship and part indoors in the Lounge. Despite this it was one of the smoothest embarkations we have experienced. It was probably a lot of hard work for the crew though! ...

We chose this cruise due to the Perry Golf package, which was very well organized and executed. We like Azamara because it is smaller, and particularly because of their focus on destination immersion, with late night and overnight port stays. That said, we did have some changes to our itinerary, in particular we left Edinburgh earlier than initially scheduled, which required us to change ...

The cruise was chosen because it did 3 overnight stays. We had read previous reviews and did not know what to expect but we felt ports would be exactly what we wanted The first thing to say is the staff, crew and officers are superb. They try to meet every request. The food we thought was amazing. I don't know what other people eat in their day to day life who complain? The cabin was an ...

First of all - Cruises ARE NOT my choice of travel - but went with a friend who has been on 20+ cruises and likes Azamara. Personally I prefer to 'chart my own course' - I don't need/want to be herded onto a boat. Too much time is wasted at sea - too little time to explore interesting cities. The POSITIVES....I like the smaller boats- this was especially the case as St Petersburg ...

We booked this cruise to get a comparison of our extensive experience with Viking. We’d lost our affinity for Viking due to a nasty situation regarding a cancelled cruise credit due us. So, we felt Azamara might be our next logical choice to try. Embarkation: We landed at 7:00 am in London, waited in a crowded seating area for other passengers to board a bus to Southampton. That was okay, but ...
