We had a wonderful cruise. Our 6th with Azamara and booked another one on board.The ship is like a home from home. All the staff are very visible and work really hard to look after you. They give service with a smile always. Good was great and had a special night for Thanksgiving. Captain made regular announcements daily. It was a Caribbean cruise and we did back to back from Barbados to Barbados visiting 13 islands. Ships tours although expensive were very well run and safety was always of concern. Entertainment team were always around the ship engaging with everyone and gave some very impressive shows. Cruise director Darren was also around to speak to and answered many questions for us. Dining areas were great and enjoyed Misaic coffee shop every day. Windows cafe always has great choices for breakfast lunch and dinners. Indian night is always good MDR has great choices and will cater to individual needs.
This was my first cruise ever and so, of course, my first on Azamara. Please take that into consideration when reading my observations. I am a long term independent traveler and backpacker, not really a joiner, and although a senior citizen still fit and adventurous at heart. Solo cruiser. Took the 15 day Azamara Quest from Miami down to Barbados. In short; I loved the cruise and I will try to give some of the main reasons below. Embarkation was a breeze. Five minutes no lines and treated with friendliness and respect even though I was unsure what was really expected. Able to board 1230 or so, but had to wait on the ship until 2pm for the cabin to be ready. Likewise debarkation was a breeze since I only had two small bags that I carried myself; had a good breakfast and exited the ship at a time of my choosing. Had an obstructed view ( almost totally except when the lifeboat was used as a tender) cabin that I later learned was likely the smallest cabin on the ship. But since I got a very good last minute fare on a guaranteed OV cabin, it might have been expected. But it was fine for a solo and everything was neat, clean and and good workable condition. In particular, the AC was very cold and the bed was quite comfortable. I knew the bathroom would be small, and it was, and the shower was even smaller than I expected. However, since I am kind of slender it was not a real issue. Room cleaner was prompt and efficient. Ship was small enough and the paper daily bulletin specific enough for me to basically find my way around the ship and the daily calendar. Gym was pretty good and rarely crowded. Pool and Jacuzzis were in good condition and when on the rare occasion I wanted a lounge chair they were always available. Food was good to very good in the buffet and the terrace on average ( I am an eater but no gourmet) with some things that of course really didn't appeal and some that did. Often much was a bit lukewarm. Never a line to speak of and service from the waiters was usually prompt. The MDR had food that seemed just a bit better, with again good service and notably small portions although of course you could order multiple dishes. Ship upgraded internet was quite good for streaming and everything else. The included drink package sufficed, but was absent any IPA beers and had serviceable but really meh whiskeys. I found the red wines quite drinkable. Coffee bar was great and again normally no or minimal wait. Almost without exception staff was friendly and helpful and the captain and crew were extremely visible. I did one excursion because I had OBC and it was disappointing and would have been quite expensive for what it was worth. I found the mostly older couples ( and the few singles) on the ship to be almost uniformly friendly and approachable. We hit 13 ports in a row after two sea days at the start. Quite hectic. Always docked right in the center of town or a quick tender ride away. Port selection was varied and interesting. A back of the envelope calculation had us averaging more than 11 hours in each port which was plenty of time. I found the on-ship Azamazing Evenings a bit less than amazing but the White nights were spot on. Entertainment was better than expected and there was plenty of public space. I would definetly cruise with Azamara again, but after seeing some of the more mainstream cruise ships next to us in port, I doubt I could ever cruise on ships that size. Azamara seemed like a real sweet spot to me.
Azamara definitely draws older well traveled passengers. One of the most relaxing cruises I've ever been on. The smaller ship was really nice. Very few lines and any line was usually less than five people. First the negatives. (1) Small bathroom and shower (knew this before cruise). If you are over 6 ft tall or overweight, the shower will be very tight. (2) The food did not meet my expectations based on the hype in the reviews that I had read prior to the cruise. The food was good and some things were very good/excellent. The MDR was too "fancy", duck, lamb and veal offerings every night. The soups were very good. Burgers and fries at the Patio Grill were excellent. (3) There was always a chilly draft in the Windows Cafe due to the doors to the Aft bar opening automatically to the outside. There was also exposure to the other side where the patio grill is located. (4) We were at two different Canada ports during the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. As a result, many restaurants and shops were closed. This should have been mentioned in the shore excursion descriptions. (5) Lack of flexibility in the opening and closing times of Windows Cafe. Did not open for lunch until 12:30 p.m. and closed at 2:30 p.m. If you were on an excursion and got back on board after 2:30 p.m. or had to leave before 12:30 p.m., your food options were minimal. Now the positives. (1) small intimate ship, (2) no lines, (3) service/staff were excellent. If you were in the Windows Cafe and had your hands full (or not) many times someone came to help you to your table. (4) Entertainment was very good. The quality of the entertainment was above my expectations for a small ship. No large stage productions, but the singers and dancers were very good. A pianist performed two nights and along with the band gave an excellent show. There were two bands on board and both were excellent. It seemed that after 4 p.m., there was always music either in the den, living room, or cabaret lounge. (5) Embarkation and disembarkation were easy. Another negative was the change in itinerary weeks before sailing from Bar Harbor to Portland Maine. So....if you are looking at a NE/Canada Azamara cruise and Bar Harbor is listed as a port....DO NOT BELIEVE IT. Bar Harbor is limiting the number of ships and some of the Norwegian ships are allowed because they have been grandfathered.
We had a V3 balcony room which was roomy enough for us, had plenty of storage and was very comfortable. I got used to the small shower. We had room service coffee every morning which was a luxurious experience. Our cabin steward was very attentive to our needs and kept the room spotless. Service everywhere can't be faulted. We LOVED all the entertainment. We mostly ate our dinner in Discoveries restaurant. It was great for us because we like to try different cuisines. We ate the daily international special every day liked them all. We wanted to eat something we would never make at home. Regarding a complaint about the small portion sizes. The dinners were 4 courses and portion sizes were "small" but I never left hungry or stuffed. I thought they were perfectly sized. Dinner is slow- about 2 hours but was a nice experience. I especially liked the food on White Night. What wasn't the best but didn't deter my experience The activities didn't interest me- The onboard speaker wasn't that great. However what would give me pause to consider another Azamara cruise- their outragiously priced shore excursions. They were however all good experience.
Our first time with Azamara, but we are seasoned cruisers so do know what the different cruise lines offer. The Quest was a nice sized ship without the usual Casino or Art Gallery. We had an outside cabin, very spacious and with a large round window. The food was really outstanding, particularly in the 2 speciality restaurants, Prime C and Aqualina. The excursions were completely over priced and not good value. The crew were excellent, very friendly and attentive. The officers were highly visible and it felt a very happy ship. 2 excellent guest lecturers on board and we learnt a lot about DNA and unsolved crimes and the nature of Greenland and Iceland. We couldn't go to 2 of the 4 scheduled Greenland ports (Nuuk and Parmuit). Too choppy to launch the tender service and the weather changed in minute. Drinks are included, but not all the fancy cocktals or particular brands of spirits, but it was fine for us. Most of the passengers were either from the USA, Canada or Australia. The Azamazing Evening in Quebec was a masterpiece of organisation and very enjoyable. The 'White Night' was very good and we enjoyed a spectacular buffet on deck - a real party event.
