Azamara Journey Review
Rating by category
Additional details
My family and I have been cruising for two decades, since our kids were small. Now that they're working, it took two years of planing to come up with a cruise that worked for all of us.
We chose the Baltic as a location with many fascinating ports, and chose Azamara since we prefer small ships which can dock in the center of town, and overnight in port so we could really see the town.
Our cruise started with flawless flights on SAS business class from the US -- great seats and great cocktails ! We coordinated two flights so we all arrived in ARB within 45 minutes of each other, and then took a personalized guided tour before boarding the boat (note to RCCL -- you should have this as an option for those arriving in the early AM before boarding is allowed).
Cabin Review
Club Continent Suite
The suite was nice, but not up to the suite we had two years earlier on Silversea. My biggest complaint is that the power outlets (both US and European voltages were UNDER the desk.
I also thought the balcony was too narrow to be usable.
On the other hand, the bed was nice and the suite service was excellent.
Our kids were in two cabins just forward of us. They were only a bit smaller, and didn't have the butler service. If you don't use the butler, the balcony cabins are an excellent value.
