Review summary

Azamara has one thing that always makes it fun (this was our 12th cruise with them / my 60th cruise total) their Azamazing Events. They took us to a theater known as the “Chocklate Box” because of it’s facade for a lively Basque Folk Concert- it was really cool!

Everyone hates the small shower and the intimacy forced with the shower curtain

Ship tip

Work with the wine guys to meet your tastes - they have a strange general wine policy.

Parked in the middle of the river made this a difficult boarding. Uber dropped us in the wrong spot as well, extra half mile drag of the luggage.

We returned to the restaurant at Graham’s Port Lodge, Vinum as one of the best spots for lunch in the world. I hesitate to post it because it is so special, but worth considering.
