"The entertainment they brought on board for it was good, but was hoping for one of those off-ship amazing evenings that I had heard about.Overall, I really liked the ship and the crew and will definitely go on another Azamara cruise when and if I found and deal similar to this one...."Read More

1-10 of 10 Azamara Journey Cruise Reviews for Gay & Lesbian to Italy from Venice
Previously to this cruise, all of my ocean cruises had been on “value” and “premium” lines (RCCL, Carnival, NCL, Celebrity, Princess). I chose this Azamara cruise because the prices for a balcony on this 7-day cruise was only $1675 per person and came with an $800 OBC (per cabin), which isn’t much more expensive than those other lines. (For comparison, the cruise the prior week on same ship was ...
We had never cruised because the thought of a floating city with 1000s of people sounded like a nightmare. We liked the idea of a smaller ship and the longer times on shore really appealed to us. We also liked the ports of call.
We were pleased beyond our wildest expectations! From our cabin steward to the captain, including the hotel director, Cruise director and Assistant cruise director, ...
Welcome CMATraveller,
We at Azamara are honored to have been your first cruise, and subsequently your first cruise review on Cruise Critic! So glad you loved it. Thank you for booking your...
We chose this cruise for the dates and the destinations and the fact that we had traveled on the Azamara Quest 6 years previously and had really enjoyed it. We have no desire to cruise on large ships with thousands of passengers, so Azamara fits the bill, also the ability to get into smaller ports and not always have to tender appeals to us. In between the two Azamara cruises we have cruised on ...
Never tried it b4. tauted as a luxery cruise with top amenities. not true. cabin/crew service awful. dining room crew awful, poorly trained wait staff.
Shore tours were very expensive with poor guides. very little value for the money. over all i would have to say the tours were expensive, sloppily run and poorly organized. as you might tell by now, i doubt that i would ever sail on ...
Loved the service from the staff for which AZAMARA is infamous. They are definitely the best for service by far of any cruise line. The ports of call were brilliant in the Mediterranean, and time in port gave the option to do two excursions if required.
The AZAMAZING EVENINGS were so special in CHANIA and VALLETTA.
We did back to back cruises but visited same place twice and managed to ...
After sailing on the mega new ships, we found the difference on a smaller boutique ship profound. Azamara is owned by Royal Caribbean. We chose the line because of the complimentary beverages (wine and standard cocktail brands), prepaid gratuities and longer stays in the ports of call. The daily wine selections were fantastic and as a foodie, the culinary cuisine left us craving for more. Whether ...
As first time cruisers we had no idea what to expect or how "you cruise". We deliberately chose the Azamara Journey because of its size. We didn't want to be on one of those larger liners and after seeing a couple in ports, we were glad we chose the Azamara. The organization of EVERYTHING was great, the staff were super friendly, the food met our needs and was tasty, the ports we visited were well ...
This was my fifth time on Azamara and it did not disappoint. My only issue is it is becoming more popular and the good deals are running out. The secret of the wonderful life on Azamara is being let out especially by those that travel without ankle biters.
Starting at Venice and cruising out with a wonderful commentary was fantastic. Dubrovnik was a treat and the easy shuttle ride made the site ...
This was my sixth Azamara cruise (four on the Journey plus two on the Quest), but it had been four years since the last. We were six in all, including two who had never cruised before.
I fell in love with this line from the get-go. Of course I had read some reviews saying the brand had been slightly diluted of late, and was, if not apprehensive, just plain curious.
We felt welcomed and ...
How disappointing to pay extra and book an ocean view cabin and have a totally orange lifeboat to look at for 7 days. Our first cruise we had an internal cabin and decided to upgrade on our second cruise to an ocean view, very misleading charging extra when it was smaller than our internal cabin and had absolutely no view at all - even if you stood on tip toe all you could see was an orange ...
