Review summary

Onward isnt 100% ready yet, with doors falling of furniture, and a bit dirty and rusty. We had expected to book our next cruise while on board, but decided it best to pick another cruise line next time.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
I will include the time when leaving the airport to getting on the ship...best was very poor. We were left at the airport for fend for ourselves in getting a ride to Ravenna where the ship was. Azamara committed to busing passengers to the ship after the port was changed from Venice to Ravenna (3 hours) away

Our experience was the same. Unfortunately the post cruise response was appalling and complete denial. Won't cruise with them again.
