Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Azamara Onward

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

Small friendly ship. Food was very good - never had a problem selecting something and it always came up hot. Service was also very good. The host knew our name after the first night at the MDR. Breakfast and lunch buffet was also very good - different selections every day for lunch. We enjoyed the 'Living Room' bar and piano music. Different 'theme' music most nights - nice atmosphere and a ...

Although the food is incredible, the service is extremely slow and low quality. If you are someone who enjoys poolside service, this cruise is not for you because the average time I waited for a drink was roughly 45 minutes to an hour, and they consistently get your order wrong. The average time for all of our food to come in the dining room was roughly 2.5 hours and I have had staff roll their ...

Less Than Luxurious

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

I chose this 12-day Azamara Onward cruise at the recommendation of friends who have previously traveled with Azamara, and because of its reputation as a luxury line. Sadly, this was not my experience. Pre-departure information was not sent by email as promised (other cruises that I have been on mail luggage tags, etc.). I finally called customer service and was told that the info was emailed to ...

We have cruised with Azamara several times in the past , and have always had a great experience ! And this , was no different ! This was a 9 night crossing from Lisbon to Bridgetown, Barbados , one stop in Madeira . From the outset , we received excellent service. We checked in leisurely at Lisbon, and boarded the ship in time for lunch. Staterooms were ready from about 1.30pm and our ...

Azamara Onward - Almost Identical

“Onward” is the latest “R” class ship to join the Azamara Fleet. The “R” class ships were originally operated by Renaissance Cruises. When Renaissance Cruises went belly up in 2002 the “R Three” as she was known was taken over by Princess Cruises along with “R Four” being renamed “Pacific Princess” and “Ocean Princess”. In 2021 Princess announced that “Pacific Princess” had been sold. Azamara ...

I am amazed by the negative reviews of the Azamara Onward cruises, especially in January 2023 which is when I took my cruise. After 7 days on the too-large, though underwhelming, Sky Princess in December cruising on the Onward was like paradise. My husband and I cruised this ship in 2011 when it was the Pacific Princess so I sort-of knew what to expect. This was my 20th cruise on six different ...

This was my first Azamara cruise and probably my last. I wanted a small ship experience. That's why I chose the Onward. I cruised on Princess, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Star Clipper and Crystal previously. The ship was badly refurbished. I stayed in a veranda cabin. The desk in the cabin had a big crank on it. This ship was just launched in May 2022. I felt that the cabin was cheaply ...

No attention to detail. Poorly managed ship.

This was my least favourite cruise with Azamara and my least favourite ship. I'm not quite sure what is going on with the management on this ship, but something needs to change and change quick. I don't know how they could wander around and not notice the same things I was noticing. If they did, they obviously didn't care about addressing them. It did not seem like the usual Azamara, and ...

This trip was from January 5th to16th in the Eastern Caribbean. We gave Azamara Onward a 3 out of 5 for good reasons. Azamara used to have excellent food and complimentary wines. Now, that has all changed since we last cruised on them at the beginning of 2022. Less expensive cuts of meat are now used - - beef, lamb, veal, and poultry resulting in tougher meat entrees; and now only 6 ...
