Azamara Journey Reviews

Loved our first experience on Azamara and will definitely cruise further with them!

Having done 6 transatlantic on large ships (2200 - 3500 person) I found the constant movement unpleasant. Very noticable on this size ship. Being 18 years old the ship shows her age even tho Azamara has done a total refurb. Cabins are 175 sq. ft. balcony and bathrooms are very small with a "tiny" shower.

Best cruise ever, love the smaller ship. Very friendly and helpful crew, great ports of call. Delicious food, great entertainment.

Great Iberian Passage cruise, friendly and helpful staff, highly recommended

We love Azamara Club Cruises. It's an elegant and relaxed way to travel.

If want to see wonderful scenery, a great cruise.(Hope for good weather which we had, otherwise would be a real disappointment) Ports are small Norwegian villages mostly catering to tourists which in this case is ok as they don't, most of them, feel overly touristy. Azamara a good value, above par food, excellent service, ok included wines and spirits, ok entertainment (some good, some not so good). The ship is not the destination as on larger vessels, rather the ports visited.

The ship was very nice with great food, staff, environment and entertainment. Ports were great, but unfortunately we spent too much time and money on the ship's excursions. We should have focused more on the towns close by.

The employees are fantastic. They are friendly and seem to be genuinely interesting in doing whatever they can to make your cruise a success. In a similar vein, the Captain is always there to greet you and to send you off personally at each port. NO company could do a better job in these respects.

This was our first time with Aramara and we are looking forward to our next on board experience. The two special evening events, White Night and Azamazing Evenging will provide wonderful lasting memories.

You have to stop unneeded noise from very high set amplifiers penetrating up to 7 levels. Also how came Oceania on same ship doesn't have this problem?

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

Azamara will be our first choice for cruising from now on. Service, food, destinations and experience were the best.

The ship and its crew were top notch! The weather was perfect and the ports were varied and beautiful. We have cruised over 30 times and this one ranks as one of the best.

Relaxed and refined.

Azamara was a fantastic choice for a cruise. Would highly recommend this cruise line and this itinerary in the Mediterranean Region was especially enjoyable. The weather was perfect and we hope to cruise again!

Excellent, from working with Hayley who helped set up my trip through the complete trip I loved it. Really great educational and yet relaxing trip.inhad little time for rest on the tour days and enjoyed the sea days when they came. My one difficulty was WIFi. I feel it should be not as expensive and more readily available.

The Azamara provides a quality experience.  The ship is just the right size for us at 680 passengers (not too big, not too small).  The food was consistently excellent at all venues.  Open seating at dinner is much appreciated. The all-inclusive pricing is truly that and there was no pressure to spend more.  The staff could not be friendlier.  The captain made himself very visible and bid us a good tour each day and welcomed us back as we return.  Cruise Director, Eric De Grey, is a talented entertainer and a friendly, visible person during the cruise.  The entertainment staff , especially the 7-piece ship orchestra, is talented and energetic.  The special Azamazing Evening on shore is unique and wonderfully planned.  Azamara is an overall great cruise line for middle agers (no children-friendly facilities or events).

We greatly enjoyed our Azamara cruise. They went out of their way for it to be a festive time. The service was excellent, the food was good, and the itinerary had enough diversity of shore time and at sea.

Some of the features in the room were showing wear, which is surprising since they just did their major refurb. But, it did not diminish our enjoyment of the cruise.

Probably the favorite parts of the trip was the friendly and helpful staff and the wonderful ports of call. The Christmas evening entertainment was disappointing. There were beautiful voices on board and a program of Christmas carols and popular Christmas songs perhaps with some sing-alongs interspersed would have been more much appropriate than the tacky skit. Cruise Director Erik is very talented but he needs to slow his presentations (particularly intercom announcements) down so the older passengers can comprehend the information he is imparting. Lastly, we questioned the scheduling of the White Night party - why not have it during a night at sea rather than competing with shore excursions during a night in port?

We've been on Azamara before and we like the smaller ship experience. There are no crowds, it's easy to get around the ship, and the food is excellent. The entertainment is more cabaret style than big productions, but equally entertaining. The Journey was recently refurbished so everything looked new and in good condition. The entry level suite far surpasses any mini suite we've had on other cruise lines.

We went to Hong Kong, Viet Nam, Thailand and Singapore. The life styles there are very different than western countries. We visited a lot of Buddhist temples and shrines. The local food is also good to try, as long as you have someone with you that can help you choose wisely. English is also not commonly spoken in Viet Nam and Thailand so having a guide fluent in English can be helpful. Singapore and Hong Kong are large modern cities where English is spoken everywhere and it is easy to get around on your own.
