Having cruised multiple times but never on an Azamara ship, I was anxious to experience what she had to offer. I chose the Quest for the itinerary around Scotland. Even with the residual covid problems, crew in masks etc., the ship was fantastic.
I loved the smaller size of the ship, the upscale food and the way it was beautifully presented. Our captain was very friendly and often seen around the ship visiting with his passengers.
The quest offered a wide variety of shore excursions at every port. Granted, they were probably a bit more expensive than scheduling one on your own, but with covid still lurking, I felt more comfortable using the ships excursions.
All was fine. Size was not a problem and there was plenty of storage space.
