Review summary

Would recommend another cruiseline since there are so many. We cruised Azamara because we thought it would be better than Celebrity. It was not.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Staff and “policies” rule the boat. Don’t expect many to go above and beyond what is required of them.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Small ship and easy for older cruises to get around but might be a little too small for younger cruisers. S

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

Very small cabins.

Ship tip

Consider another high end cruiseline. As a Celebrity loyalist, we thought Azamara would be superior. It was not and this was a sentiment many others guests shared with us during the cruise. The good thing was that the poor experience united many cruisers and we made the best of it. We all vowed not to cruise Azamara again since there are so many other choices.

We only had a few hours here. We would have lived now to have more time. Either give an overnight or a full day or just make it a sea day.

Been on about 30 cruises with most brands. Just did a Azamara transatlantic and it was perfect. Only better one is possibly Oceana ( sp) . Am a senior so that may make a difference. The service is the best at sea.
