Azura Review

Additional details
This is my personal input to the cruise on Azura, it may not be to everyone's agreement, but here goes. The Ship is fantastic and had everything you could wish for. The cabin's (we had inside) we spacious enough for our needs, especially as we were at sea only 4 days. Choice of dining excellent, and if you wanted to indulge a bit, prices at other speciality restaurants were reasonably priced. Unfortunately, my wife suffered a little due to lack of Gluten free produce.
Entertainment was very good, although, some of the venues were not large enough to cope with the amount of people wishing to see the different acts, and if you wanted seats you had to miss out on other shows to get a seat. If you wanted to see more than one, it was a bit of a rush to move from one venue to another. We had tributes to Freddie Mercury and Robbie Williams, Tom O' Connor and Rudi West to name a few.
Now the ports of call Antigua, Tortola, St Maarten, Grand Turk, St Kitts, Martinique, St Lucia, Grenada and Barbados. We only booked one tour through P & O (Barbados) which included lunch and then back to airport on last day, well worth it, otherwise left to your own devices waiting to leave ship to go to airport, and cabin to be vacated by 0800. We did taxi tours privately in every port, and most of them covered the trips available, at a much cheaper cost $20 (£15 each). Highlights of the tours was Tortola sights and then beach, St Maarten, both French & Dutch parts, Grand Turk not much to see and very flat, St Kitts lovely and worth the visit, Martinique NOT WORTH THE VISIT, taxi's wanted $50 per person, and organised trip not well presented, although those who went to botanical gardens stated worthwhile trip. Our highlight was ST Lucia, we took a private tour through COSOL TOURS, this trip was $75 per person, but worth every dollar. Included all the destinations on island, including entry fees to Hot Sulphur Springs, a speedboat to private beach for swimming etc, breakfast (amazing) and all you could drink!! We had driver called Yellowbird who was very informative, and answered and told us everything we needed to know about the island.
