I’ll start with the pros:
Outstanding staff – wait, room and bar staff were all superb. Professional and attentive. Praise goes to Milton and Mike in the Atlas bar. The perfect dynamic duo, gracious and fun.
Food was excellent. We dined in Discoveries every night. Varied selections each night along with standards to order. Delicious and beautifully presented. If you have a favorite wait ...
This cruise/ship was recommended to us by a Travel agent as we were seeking an alternative to the mega ships.
Although an older ship built in 1999, it was totally refurbished in 2021 when Azamara bought the boat. Admittedly we had a suite and our room was awesome.
Staff was attentive, smiling, and helped make the cruise what it was.
Captain Smith was engaging and had a great sense of ...
Just returning from Iceland intensive cruise and were very pleased with the trip.
All of the Azamara ships are old but they are well maintained. I am sure if you looked for it you could spot areas which could be improved but we don’t approach a holiday in that way and didn’t see anything we were unhappy about.
As appears in most reviews cabins are on the small side and so is the shower room. ...
I chose this cruise because the itinerary looked good and azamara was owned by Royal Caribbean but was higher end.
This by far is the absolute worst cruise comyI have been on. I have gone on many Princess, royal caribbean, Norwegian and celebrity cruises without any complaints.
Issues with Azamara began prior to the cruise. Azamara lost all their information of my fully paid cruise, hotel ...
This was our first Azamara cruise, and with continuing issues with their website, we were a little concerned about the whole experience. I'm used to having all my documents in hand and luggage tags on all my bags before I board, and that just didn't happen; but that being said, it was the smoothest embarkation ever!
We realized early on that we love being on a smaller ship. The staff was ...
Our first time cruising with Azamara. Have cruised with Oceania, P&O, Celebrity, RCL, etc before.
Picked up the free transfer from Tronchetto, Venice, it was 55 minute bus ride down to Chioggia, where the Quest was docked.
Boarding; was not the smoothest. Everything was done by paper (no computer) with only 3 stations managing the check in process. This took just over an hour. Then ...
After taking around 60 cruises
we were interested to see how the cruise would be on Azamara since the buy out from Royal Caribbean
The entertainment was the bare minimum with the same 6 singers and dancers every night
except for the Azamazing evening. This was a huge disappointment as we all thought we were going to be taken somewhere wonderful but ended up with some folk dancers being ...
Second time travelling with Azamara (first since the takeover and what a difference between products.
The crappy service started right from the arrival at Istanbul Airport. We had booked airport transfers through Azamara only to figure out for ourselves after waiting for an hour and numerous calls to their non existent ‘emergency’ help desk that they had not booked them so we had to catch a $70 ...
Prior to booking, we heard so many wonderful things about Azamare and its onboard service that we were looking forward to experiencing it for ourselves. We might have been expecting too much.
My wife and I are pretty experienced cruisers. We’ve been on Viking Ocean and River, Celebrity, Princess, Royal Caribean, and Virgin. We appreciate the small ship experience on Viking and Azamara more than ...
This was our first cruise on Azamara and they completed exceeded our expectations. Coming out of COVID, we wanted to cruise on a smaller boat, and one of the recommendations from our travel agent was Azamara. Communications after booking the cruise were good. Port check-in and security clearance in Athens (Piraeus) was simple taking only about 30 min, and they did a very simple safety briefing ...
