Though its the first time we've sailed on Azura it wont be the last as we thoroughly enjoyed our cruise.
Very impressed with the gym - lots of resistant machines, treadmills, cycles, weights & space for floor exercises. Also good to see a choice of complimentary sessions ie stretch classes morning and late afternoon, fab abs etc as well as charged sessions, pilates and spinning.
Entertainment overall good, never had a bad night of entertainers/shows/acts etc. Thoroughly enjoyed Martin Jarvis as Tom Jones, Steve Larkins as Freddie Mercury, comedian Paul Boardman but in our opinion Mike Testoni stole the show. Talks on real life experiences as a crew member working on a lifeboat & his life as an office in the MET. Very interesting and entertaining. A very close second was the Captain Paul Brown at Gibraltar's sail away, where had he been practicing those moves? If you were there you know what I mean. Brilliant entertainment. Headliners good with some very good singers especially Craig Thomas whose show with Rebecca Lisewski was exceptionally good. Sail aways exceptionally good - well done to Neil Oliver and his team who by the way no matter what time of day or where you saw them they would always have a smile on their faces & say hello.
have always gone for mid ship cabins in the past but had little choice on this occasion so we were more forward than I would have liked. When in rough seas the cabin creaked so much that it kept us awake at night as well as experiencing more movement. Only time we noticed noise outside was when an American couple walked past. Fortunately they were the only American couple on the cruise.
