Originally chose this cruise when it was listed as being a transatlantic from Copenhagen to Tampa. When NCL cancelled that itinerary we decided to go with the new one when NCL agreed to honor our original booking. We were totally spoiled as we (5 of us) had one of the Garden Villas. This was an unforgettable experience. Therefore, everything on the cruise was excellent for us. None of us had ...
This cruise covered so much ground from Copenhagen to Barcelona and included stops in Oslo, Brussels, Amsterdam. Paris, Bordeaux, Lisbon, Valencia and Seville. There was ample time at each port to visit and see these cities. The nightly entertainment was varied and plentiful: from Incredible R&B to standard jazz and piano ballads. The service in the main dining room at the back of the ship was ...
We picked this cruise due to the unique itinerary, Copenhagen to Barcelona as the boat was re positioning to the Pacific for the first time, should have taken the extra holidays and stayed on board to get home. This was our 12 cruise and had been on NCL only once before in Hawaii on Pride of America, so had a fair idea of what to expect. we also picked a stern cabin on Deck 10, which was a great ...
This was a semi repositioning cruise from Copenhagen to Barcelona. Embarkation was a breeze - we were on a very early flight from London and arrived in Copenhagen about 10.00 am - we were on the ship around 11.30! I would endorse heartily what Corinium says - excellent food, wine and ports. No complaints at all really, especially not about the staff, who were excellent in every way. Our cabin was ...
Overall, we were very satisfied with the cruise. The itinerary was wonderful with great places to see. The staff on the Vision were terrific, food was great, and many activities were available. The ship is older and so the cabins (even though very well maintained by the staff) had old TV's, limited stations, and few amenities (e.g., no refrigerator). We had an oceanview with a full picture window. ...
Azamara Journey Copenhagen to Barcelona September 2009
The ship
The ship is a small R class ship carrying about 650 passengers, the majority of cabins have balconies, and there are some larger suites on deck 8. There are 6 bars/lounges and one main dining room and 2 alternative restaurants. The very large library is a lovely room with fireplace (non functioning!) and a grand piano. ...
Our wonderful cruise began with a short flight from Heathrow to Copenhagen, followed by a very easy and inexpensive 12 minute train journey to Copenhagen Central Station then an expensive taxi ride to Frihaven where the Journey was berthed. We arrived around 12noon and although the seemingly local staff were well intentioned, they didn't seem to know what they were doing. They got us to fill in ...
We have cruised with Celebrity and Azamara before. This was our second cruise vacation on the Journey. We recommended the cruise to six friends and we managed to convince them to join us on this 14 day western Med. cruise from Copenhagen to Barcelona. They all had a wonderful time (two of them are very experienced cruises, and the other four are "green-beans" to cruising.
The Journey really ...
I consider myself an experienced cruiser, at the age of 44. This may have been my 12'th cruise or so (it becomes hard to keep count). It was my third cruise of 2009 and my first with Azamara. I have sailed with Celebrity many times including my first two of 2009 on the Infinity and the Solstice, so I knew what the minimum standard would be when I booked with Azamara. I was not disappointed.
This ...
We decided to join Azamara Journey 2 days before departure from Copenhagen august 31, 2009. The only cabin not sold was an inside cabin - which we took. The cruise took us from Copenhagen to Barcelona and lasted 14 days.
The boarding was the fastest we ever experienced, 5 minutes only. This was due to the fact that we printed our boarding pass online.
Our cabin was as expected on the 8th ...
