This was our second time on Azamara having cruised on the Quest in October 2013.
We were overwhelmed on our first trip and felt we had been spoilt for other cruise lines hence the reason we booked again.
Unfortunately we did not feel the same second time around.
We noticed the first thing as soon as we stepped on board. Straight away the staff were 'hard selling' drinks packages and meal ...
Having sailed with Fred Olsen twice previously we thought we would try 5* luxury as Azamara had reduced the price following the itinerary change.
Flew Turkish Airlines from LHR to Istanbul, good flight there & back, excellent cabin service. Embarkation was a bit hit & miss airport to ship but smooth once onboard. Had late lunch at the Pool Grill & then to cabin 6067 to unpack. Called up to main ...
On my previous Azamara cruises, I was amazed. Unfortunately, this cruise was not amazing. I booked directly with Azamara in October. At that time I was told that if I booked my excursions on line at least 4 days prior to sailing, I would get a 25% discount. After I paid my final payment, I was told that the discount had been withdrawn without notice. I was upset. I wrote and called Azamara ...
chose choice air w/ azamara so I was delivered smoothly to the ship. the rep was not there to meet me so I had to find info desk and ended up w/ the hk police who tracked down the rep. lots of apologies and I am put in a cab and whisked to the ship.
boarding ship a breeze. since I cruise annually I have my routine -- ck to see if I can get into cabin. if not, check out the spa and from the moment ...
I had high hopes of the cruise on the Azamara Journey from Mumbai to Athens, and my overnight British Airways flight from Heathrow, and stay the following night in the Vivanta by Taj President hotel in Mumbai, were excellent. Unfortunately it went rapidly downhill from there.
The boarding at the passenger terminal was shambolic, and when I finally got to my Balcony Stateroom I found a letter ...
We were so looking forward to this cruise. A once in a lifetime trip to Antarctica. We originally booked to do the holiday with Celebrity cruises but when we saw Azamara was doing the same cruise on the same day but one we switched ships! We always book suites and booked suite 8050 - midships. We had high expectations of the ship and accommodation as throughout 2012 it was widely known that ...
My husband and I have been on approximately 20 cruises on lines ranging from Carnival to Crystal. We prefer a larger ship but my husband liked this itinerary because of the overnight docking in several ports. We decided to think of it as a "hotel" to see the area and attend Carnivale in Rio.
Azamara is A "semi-luxury" line with a crew to passenger ratio of 2:1. We booked a suite, the class ...
The Azamara cruise from Mumbai India to Chennai India lasting some 13 days was NOT a luxury cruise nor a luxury ship.
SHIP. Poorly maintained, worn out, interior and many areas of poor care, no paint, covered rust etc...throughout the ship.
ROOM. Dirty in many areas including the deck and fixtures inside the cabin. AC works poorly. Broken parts there were fixed.
FOOD. Slightly below what ...
The Journey is a lovely ship and we were pleased with the roominess of our interior stateroom. Our cabin stewards were wonderful and without them keeping us supplied with complimentary sodas and water we probably would have been totally dehydrated. We found it took so long to get drink service in the buffet dining room that we took our own sodas to meals with us and my husband would get our own ...
Have just returned from asia with Quest. When we booked it was then advertised as 'Deluxe' cruising, how or why they think this is deluxe I do not know. I think from comments from others who had sailed with Azamara before the standard had 'slipped' and we were paying the price of their changes to 'club cruises'.The itinerary was good, the embarkation and disembarkation was the best we have ever ...
