My husband I have been long time Formula 1 fans for well over 10 years or more. We each turned 50 during the pandemic and couldn’t celebrate it properly. Going to watch the F1 Monaco Grand Prix is high up on our bucket list, so when we found out about cruises that go to Monaco during the Grand Prix weekend, we were very excited! I did a lot of research over the winter about all the cruise lines ...
Having sailed on her Maiden Voyage in 2022 from Monte Carlo congratulations are in order to the entire crew service teams and management for making the necessary changes since taking the cruise line private. Of course it’s still a work in progress as it relates to the land based booking technology but certainly once aboard you would feel the tender loving care you will receive from every aspect ...
We have just returned from a very enjoyable cruise around the Greek Islands on the Azamara Onward. I was a little concerned about the trip after reading negative reviews about the ship but we found the staff and the food very good. We have been on 5 or 6 cruises with various larger cruise companies and we much preferred this smaller ship. We were fortunate to book a suite as we were celebrating ...
Overall, I would give the cruise about a 4.8. The things that bothered me didn't warrant much of a negative review, so I wouldn't knock the cruise down too much. As for the negative things - I signed up for the cruise about a year early and didn't realize Azamara was going through changes and a new website/computer system set up, etc, and I signed up for all of the excursions at the beginning ...
Cruised with Azamara before, greatly enjoyed the ship and staff. The tours stand out for us, immersing you in the local culture more than their compeditors. Veranda cabin was laid out well. The shp was at maximum capacity, but you would never know it. Food was excellent in the buffets and main dining hall, never found a need to visit the specialty restaurants. Entertainment was good, but ...

Azamara "Policy" is to completely IGNORE any concerns or medical issues starting at the "Corporate level". We spent 7 days with the Onward ship of which is clean and service people are great for the majority with a few exceptions in waiters and bar tenders but the problems started day two:
1. Day two the ship offered a buffet of which included under cooked meats and improperly ...
Previously to this cruise, all of my ocean cruises had been on “value” and “premium” lines (RCCL, Carnival, NCL, Celebrity, Princess). I chose this Azamara cruise because the prices for a balcony on this 7-day cruise was only $1675 per person and came with an $800 OBC (per cabin), which isn’t much more expensive than those other lines. (For comparison, the cruise the prior week on same ship was ...
We chose this cruise over a year ago with the expectation of going to the Greek Isles and Israel. However, a week before the ship was due to leave on April 15th from Athens Greece, we were notified that our cruise has been redirected to Egypt with tours to Alexandria and Cairo to see the Pyramids due to the turmoil in Israel. I know the ships' captain was looking out for the welfare of the ...
We specifically booked this trip for the 4 days in Israel. It was my 4th booking for this (or similar) sailing; Azamara cancelled the first 2 and the 3rd was cancelled by covid. Sadly due to the current situation Azamara changed our intinerary.
1) they did a good job with the last minute plans for Egypt, I would have been extremely disappointed if this had turned into a Greek island ...
We chose this cruise because it was very well priced on Vacations to Go and we liked the ports. Trouble was, we didn't leave from Venice but Chioggia. So we had to drag our bags from Marco Polo airport a LONG way to a bus to take us to Chioggia and we had to pay, ourselves, for the bus transfers.
Azamara redid their whole computer system in the weeks before we were departing so we could NEVER ...
