We chose this yacht because of its looks and port destinations. We love Greece so a trip to the islands was very appealling.
We loved our Oceanview cabin, loads of storage with a decent size bathroom. We enjoyed being on deck 3 near the bar and restaurant. No noise from above (Observation lounge). We took advantage of all the included tours and paid for the Santorini tour. All were well ...
We just wrapped up our inaugural cruise with Emerald aboard AZZURRA, but let me tell you, it was far from smooth sailing. The good points like comfortable bed were overshadowed by the disappointments, leaving us with a clear message: we will NEVER cruise with Emerald again.
Let's dive into the grievances that ruined our experience:
- Prepare for a delightful whiff of sewage, as our room ...
This was our first experience, both with Emerald and with a super Yacht. The ship is lovely. The cabin was well laid out and comfortable. I read previous reviews about the staff and found ours to be less than the superlatives I've read. With a couple of exceptions, the wait staff were efficient but did not remember names or preferences. Some were not even approachable -- efficient, but not ...
Chose Emerald quite a while ago having been on their river cruises. The style is very similar to the river operation in many ways.
The ship on first impressions looked off white not gleaming. During the cruise some painting took place that gave a better appearance.
Depending on taste there is a lot of grey on the ship. The lounge has some furniture that is not easy to arrange comfortably ...
A companion and myself were on a 21 day cruise .
What a disappointment!!!
The food was average ( nothing great ) but the brochure made it sound like the food would be of Michelin restaurant quality. Day after day the same thing was served with small differences. For the cost of this cruise the food should have been of a much higher quality
The shower drains seem to be too small for the ...
This cruise took us to several bucket list locations and everything was great. Smooth, quick embarkation, a comfortable and spacious room, and friendly attentive staff all made this an amazing trip. The excursions were well organized and went smoothly- the buses were comfortable and air conditioned. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Even when our Jerusalem tour ran late ...
This was our 9th cruise. Most of the others were with Silversea. We chose the Azzurra because it only holds 100 passengers. We wanted to try something smaller than Silversea ships. Boy, what an experience! There were only 53 passengers and 76 crew. As you can imagine, the service was really great. The crew member wanted to provide great service wherever we were. This was our best cruise ...
Cruising the U.A.E and Oman in December/January.
Embarkation was smooth and easy. First thing we got was a glass of Campagne. Our Oceanview Stateroom 302 was modern, had a good size and a wonderful soft bed. The Trip was fully booked but it never felt crowded. As there were mostly germans on board most of sunbeds were 'reserved' with towels for the whole day. The Crew should just remove them ...
Awesome vacation, great boat and crew, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We chose this cruise to celebrate a special occasion, purchasing nearly two years ago on Supersaver. We are regular river cruisers and like the Emerald product and staff personal interactions. Azzurra exceeded River cruising for cabins, amenities, food, and overall experience. We also enjoyed near perfect weather, one just ...
We have been on all sizes and levels of cruise ships. Oceanview, grand suites, sky suites, balcony cabins. Some with little amenities and some with a butler. So with approx 60 cruises taken, the following is an accurate review of the Emerald Azzurra.
Being part of the Scenic group with a great reputation, we were anxious for an outstanding experience. Only 86 passengers (max 100) on this voyage ...
