1-9 of 9 Southampton Azamara Pursuit Cruise Reviews
The Norwegian Fjords were on our bucket list. We had one planned on Celebrity in 2020 but that was cancelled due to Covid. We kept looking and find one on Azamara that went where we wanted to go. We have cruised on Celebrity (we are Elite Plus), Oceania, Viking, and Royal Caribbean. Azamara used to be part of the Royal Caribbean family but that changed in February. We were still excited to go even ...
We chose this cruise as our wine shop was sponsoring the trip for customers. We had 46 people in our group. We were in Cabin 8052 which was right next to the elevators and stair well midship. We had our doubts as to the possible noise level for the location, but it was never a problem, we had no noise at all from the elevator and stairwell traffic. The room itself was very good with lots of ...
We chose this cruise for the amazing itinerary--circumnavigating Iceland (we're still reeling at the stunning beauty of the landscapes and seascapes we saw), touring both Ireland (Dublin and Waterford) and Northern Ireland (the Ards Peninsula outside of Belfast is beautiful), and cozying up to Fowey, Cornwall. The great advantage of a small ship like the Azamara, Pursuit is that it can enter what ...
We chose this cruise for two reasons, the itinerary and to try this new ship bought by Azamara. We have traveled on Journey and Quest multiple times and loved them all. In fact, before boarding this cruise, we had the week before cruised on Journey doing the Norwegian Fjords. That cruise was exceptional. The Pursuit was a huge disappointment. Our main complaint was a constant tapping noise ...
I am so sorry about the shortfalls on your cruise with us. While I am glad you're coming back to sail with us 8 more cruises, I feel badly about the maiden voyage issues you highlight....
I chose this cruise since I have sailed with the cruise line since 2007. Every cruise has been sensational!
Having sailed on the Adonia I was looking forward to see the changes that Azamara had made.
I was so excited to sail on the Pursuit and the wonderful itinerary including Iceland. It was wonderful to see so many of the crew that had been brought over from the other ships. That is ...
Hi shutterbug29, I'm sorry you were disappointed. Sometimes with the first sailings of a new ship in a fleet there are still some kinks to work out.
I hope you'll come back and sail with us...
Sail Date: August 2018
Cabin Type: Club Oceanview Stateroom (obstructed view)
The shame of P&O's fleet, the Adonia, returns from dry dock transformed into the luxury, five star, country house hotel experience aka The Pursuit. What are the chances of that happening? What a load of old blether. The cabin was hideously dusty, the 'bathroom' cramped and badly designed, and the first time since the Heysham ferry I've hated the way a ship performed in slight 'weather'. This ...
This was my 29th cruise (12 different cruise companies). I was really disappointed.
The officers are very arrogant and aloof and only acknowledge repeat passengers. Many people have done 10+ Azamara cruises.
The cabin staff, bar staff and waiters are all very friendly and service and food was good.
My husband complained about a few things but they didn't take any notice because we ...
We have used Viking three times and Azamara’s food and service beats them hands down. Don’t know what the previous reviewer meant by cliques, but our experience was excellent. All the staff and officers were friendly, engaging and approachable, especially Captain Carl, the Personnel Manager Beth, and the Hotel Manager as well. Once on Viking I complimented the captain on his new ship and he ...
We chose this as we have happily cruised with Azamara several times, and also it was a no fly cruise.
We had expected the ship to be pristine, but, while clean, it was clearly a tired old lady.
The crew were clearly still in the work up phase, as generally it was not such a slick operation overall.
The cabin staff and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful, and the service was ...
