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 ...
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 booked this cruise because it offered 4 port days in Israel. The day before we were to get on the ship, while we were in transit to the ship, the itenerary was changed. Israel was taken off of the itenerary. This was a major disappointment. This is a old ship that has had upgrades, but not to the degree that one would expect for a so called luxury class cruise. The cabin was barely adequate ...
First time on Azamara.
Enjoying the smaller ship (700 passengers).
Nicely refurbished.
Cabin corridor however, seems under lit to me.
Free Launderette on Deck 7 (mid ship)
Washer, Dryer and Soap. Opened 8am to 9pm.
Staff have been remarkably polite and attentive.
Gold star.
Food in the 2 speciality (extra fee) restaurants (Prime C - Steakhouse) and (Aqualina - ...
Azamara's tech upgrade is a nightmare. You cannot log into your record, even though they say that they are working on those pax within 30 days. Nope. After 4 hours on hold, I finally got a person who only abandoned the call. To add insult to injury I was beyond polite to her and never raised my voice. The upgrade wasn't her fault. However leaving my call was!
The enormous headache is so ...
My daughter and I both took a girlfriend for the Italy and Greece cruise April 1st on Azamara Pursuit. We all loved it. It was decorated like a nice boutique hotel. We were more than pleased with the cabins and the quality of food and service. Despite the cruise being at capacity the service was absolutely excellent. We asked for our favorite waiters each night and were sat in their sections in a ...
We were a party of 4 couples on our first cruise with Azamara. We were very pleased the ship, the food staff etc. Embarkation was a bit chaotic but we was on after an hour. Ports, Montevideo had Azamazing night which was very well organised and entertaining, a city tour including a very good Tango show in bar Fun Fun, very enjoyable. Puerto Del este, we walked to a beach. Santos, advertised as San ...
We took this cruise as We had a credit from 2019. The ship looked like the Quest but there were differences. The food was fine but not great. The staff were excellent especially the concierge. The room was adequate-abit worn. The lecturer Dr. Joe was great. We would have liked more of this type of activity.. The onshore excursions seemed to lack good guides. City tour and Sugar loaf in ...
We chose this cruise because it had a great itinerary, starting in Buenos Aires with 3 days in Rio during Carnaval, and it included Uruguay.
We loved the itinerary, the staff on the ship was outstanding, helpful, friendly and seemed happy. Food was Ok, not what we had experience on a previous Quest cruise. In the restaurant the food was Ok,but not great most of the time, but the buffet didn't ...
