We like to visit places that we have not been to. As such, other than Amsterdam, Copenhagen & Warnemunde, the other ports, Oslo, Antwerp, Honfleur & St. Peter Port to which the Quest sailed to, are destinations that we have not been. We also like the over night stays, which give us the opportunity to explore at a leisurely pace. We also like sailing the smaller size ships, so the Azamara vessels are perfect to do just that.
The embarkation & disembarkation went very smoothly. Again, you don't have the thousands of other passengers to contend with.
Amsterdam, Copenhagen & Warnemunde are good ports to return to & continue exploring where you last left off. On this trip, we especially liked exploring the old sections of Antwerp, Le Vieux Bassin area in Honfleur & in St. Peter Port where we lucked out as we arrived on the day of the 2016 Guernsey Airshow, where planes flew over where the Quest anchored. Perfect seats, if we didn't tendered into St. Peter Port to visit. However, we did get fairly good views from the waterfront as we explored the area.
