We chose Azamara for the Baltic because of the itinerary and docking locations. On that point, they delivered. The only city we didn't dock right in town was Stockholm.
First the good: The staff and crew was friendly, professional and helpful. Morale seemed to be good, which was passed on to the passengers. We had a family emergency back home while on board and Yasmin the Concierge was very helpful.
Loved the small size ship - docked right in the city in most locations. Azamara certainly delivers on its destination- driven marketing. Not much going on onboard at night, but that's ok with me.
