"I understand this is an excursion based line and I really appreciate that about it, so we weren't on board a ton, but we did have one day at sea and then another where we couldn't get into port for most of the day and they just don't have enough for people to do.We encountered some bad weather a couple of the days, so there was a little bit of turbulent waters...."Read More
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 ...
The staff, cuisine and ability for the ship to enter all ports owing to it's size, were truly excellent. The entertainment was a standout especially as regards the external talent. The Azamara troupe was full of xing but not always great individual singing talent. That said...as a troupe they were just fine and the Cruise Directors excellent. Yes the ship is in need of some TLC as it has clearly ...
We have just returned from what I expect will be our last Azamara cruise.
Our ten day Ireland intensive cruise on Azamara Journey left from Dublin, circled Ireland and ended in Southampton. The itinerary was excellent, the weather (apart from some rain in Belfast) was unseasonably good. The embarkation area in Dublin was a tiny marquee. Had it been raining we would have got wet while standing ...
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 ...
We have cruised over 12 voyages on various cruise lines, including a river cruise and have had varied experiences. We had heard great things about Azamara and we were not disappointed. Yes, the earlier technical glitches were unnerving but thanks to the many loyal Azamara regulars on this site, our concerns were allayed.
While the room was smaller that we expected, we found lots of cubbies to ...
We have cruised about 300 days with many other cruise lines and this was our first cruise with Azamara. We found the staff to be the nicest and most helpful of all the cruise lines we have been with. I have a mobility scooter and they were extremely helpful when I had difficulty getting around. The ship is older and not too accessible. There were high ledges and doors to open that could not ...
We were looking for a cruise that included both Barcelona and Gibraltar, and I stumbled upon this itinerary for a Spain Intensive cruise with a cruise line that I hadn’t heard about before. I liked the sound of overnight stays, and a smaller ship, and we were excited to be introduced to Azamara Cruises. The flexible, casual style of cruising really suited us. I loved the basic drink package that ...
This was our first – and last – cruise on Azamara. We’ve been on about 15 cruises on five different cruise lines, but we’ve never had such a miserable experience with a cruise company’s office and corporate personnel before. Apparently, the transition from being a part of Royal Caribbean to independence has been a rocky one. The website almost never worked, and I spent days and hours on hold ...
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 ...
