Review summary

I am a loyal Azamara cruiser but I was disappointed in the Onward. I would not book another cruise on the Onward in the near future. They need to get their act up to standards of other Azamara ships. They just need a little more time to do so. Also, in fairness, this was the first time Azamara sailed to the Caribbean.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Azamara usually excels at customer service but there were quite a few glitches in service, particularly in the buffet. Often took a bit a time to get beverages, especially at breakfast. In fairness, they are the most recent Azamara ship and need a bit more time to get it more together

Cabin was fine except mini fridge was in closet - taking up valuable space and making my clothes warm!

Train ride was best experience. We were there preCovid and the train was greatly improved!

Spanish Town, Virgin Gorda, B.V.I. Did not visit port

Swells to high had to go to Tortolla instead

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Disembarkation itself was alright -too many people sent off ship at once. Biggest problem was Azamara arranged bus service to Miami airport. Bus driver did NOT communicate with us as to what airlines were at each of the 2 stops. I suspect he didn’t know. He left us off at the opposite end of the airport. This was a real problem since it was difficult to walk with all our luggage when I have mobility issues.
