Another last minute booking on Azura and at cruise 12 I feel I now make it work for me.

Booking - I book at about 6 weeks prior to the cruise and this is often the best offer price wise, I take what is available at balcony and above if this is not available that is fine I don't book. I travel alone, my husband stays home to look after our dogs then goes on his own sporting holidays while I reciprocate. Many have questioned why Azura it being family friendly and a largish ship? Well I like what I make of the holiday. I use the savings on the cabin to upgrade to a select dining venue for dinner or pay for the Glass House or Sindhu Nashtas at lunchtime. Usually the saving also covers my wine bill too.

Cabin - This time I was allocated to Riveria deck in a forward cabin. Couldn't actually have got any further forward without being on the bridge. Usual standard, everything works well for me a single and accommodates all my dresses etc I never pack light when travelling from Southampton. Cabin steward excellent as usual never yet had one that wasn't and everyone has gone the extra mile for me travelling alone and I appreciate that.

Cabin Review

Usual balcony, plenty of wardrobe space for a lady who likes a dress for every day, twice a day. I'm sure if I travelled with my husband we would not choose a standard balcony as there is only one small tub chair in the room, we would prefer a sofa so deluxe balcony or suite would then be first choice. The cabin being so close to the bridge (forward) it may be bouncy in high seas but on this cruise very smooth as weather so good. Dining in XV11 also meant a long hike along the corridor each evening but no problem as booked a saver fare. Very quiet and would recommend to others.
