Nice Cruise Reviews

My wife and I were part of a private event that took over the whole ship for 5 days/4 nights. We have experienced great service before, but this was our first cruise. Though we live in a cruise-port, big ships turn us off big time. This cruise, from embarkation in Nice until the final port of Monaco, was stunning on many levels: My wife and I loved the yacht-like experience from the first ...

We chose this as our first ocean cruise because it took us to many places we had not seen before including Croatia. 35 days seemed a long time on boarding but it was so good the time flew. We enjoyed every port, every meal, and every moment. The ship is small enough that we never had to line up for anything including meals and disembarking. The crew including the captain are great and they ...

This was actually a charter so different from anything on the Azamara offerings. 30 ports throughout both the Western and Eastern Mediterranean. 1. Ship cannot be faulted in any way. Recently undergoing a refurb, the public rooms were redone in beautiful subtle and rich tones and textures. Lots of different places to "hang out". 2. Food was plentiful and very varied. There are 2 restaurants ...

It has been a year since I took this cruise and I still have wonderful memories. We stopped at different ports each day and had lovely activities in small towns by the Riviera , The cabin on the ship was very roomy and kept very clean. We had a sliding glass door onto a balcony with a table and two chairs. The food on the ship was very good and the chef and waiters were very attentive to ...

We are not "experienced" cruisers but we have been on Celebrity twice and Oceania once. So our comparison will only be relevant to those lines. We are now convinced that we will, in the future, look to book again on Azamara as we found the whole experience with them outstanding. The personalized, friendly service that can only be found on a small ship was evident with each and every ...

We're not particularly regular cruisers, however we have sailed with Cunard in the Grills in the past. This cruise came up and seemed like good value for money so we thought we'd give Azamara a spin. Check - in and embarkation was speedy - very little waiting around; tea, coffee and pastries available in the terminal. All staff were friendly and helpful. We arrived around 1pm, were on board ...

This is the first review I've written on Cruise Critic but the 8th cruise I've taken on Avalon. I felt I needed to share just how professional, service oriented and wonderful the trips have been with Avalon. This most recent one we started in Cannes and ended in Paris with 6 friends on the Poetry II. From beginning to end the service was top notch and there could not be a better, more humorous ...

March of 2015 was our 2nd Avalon cruise in 18 months and it is a pleasure to obtain consistent and excellent service. We thoroughly enjoyed the crew , the professional services and Cruise Director Danielle as we went North on the River from Arles to Dijon. The choices for optional tours and onboard events hits the mark for us. (cheese and local meats tasting, "French Life" Historian, etc).. We ...

We have just completed a month on Azamara Quest, Nice to Athens via Istanbul and the Black Sea. Having been on Azamara Journey previously we knew what was offered and the itinerary appealed. Once again the genuine friendly and helpful staff and crew was a major component of our relaxing, enjoyable cruise which was as we expected and hoped it would be. In choosing a cruise, you need to know what ...

Where do I start? This is our second Quest sailing and we are in the age range 51-52 ;) We booked through a TA having first noticed the deal on the Azamara site. Off I went to our favourite chilled out TA, thank you Karole Saint-Brice et al, brilliant as usual, you sorted it out for us. Big thanks also go to Azamara because what happened made us feel like we had won a fabulous prize, we are ...
