Thought we'd add our review too, so people can have as much info as possible, as we are all looking for different things. We truly enjoyed our trip, and thought the Ship and Staff were just excellent! This was all a couple of notches above Celebrity (the food was several notch's above) and gave you a nicer experience without being too stuffy. So here goes...
Azamara Quest Jan 5-Jan 19, 2008
To start, I think some background will help give you our perspective. We are both in our mid-30's, no kids and have been on 4-5 cruises, all Celebrity to the Caribbean and were on this vacation to "do nothing." The ports were not particularly important to us as we were not coming to experience the culture, but to relax and be warm for two weeks (we are from very Northern Maine, where the temp was -16 the day before we left and -30 the morning after we returned and we've had over 6 feet of snow so far this season.) Our one hobby outside of traveling is eating and we have been known to fly somewhere for a weekend for the sole purpose of eating at a particular restaurant. So food is important to us. We have only sailed Celebrity because we really like the brand. Every time we go we consider the other lines, but end up staying with Celebrity as we are worried we will be disappointed with the service/food on the others. Since Azamara was an offshoot of Celebrity we figured we'd be ok, and we were.
