I have just returned from a very brief trip on the Azamara Journey. The ship was visiting Leith as part of its current cruise and Azamara Club kindly allowed Margaret to invite a few of her clients to view the ship.
A group of 12 arrived at the port at 8.30am and, even though we were only staying for a few hours and were not going anywhere we had to go through security and hand in our passports.
As we walked up the gang-plank we were individually welcomed by the crew on duty and this was to be the norm for the next 3 hours - everybody we met, from officers to cleaners all welcomed us with a friendly genuine smile.
