Review summary

Nice itinerary, excellent service, really good food and drink. Azamara has a good thing going.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
It was ok but only ok. Long queues, checking people in but then sending them back to the large waiting area.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Azamara has the best included drinks in the industry as far as I’m concerned.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pretty much standard on the “normal” activities, but the special events are great, e.g. White Night, Dinner under the stars, etc.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Decent for the size of the troupe.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Really excellent service everywhere. The coffee bar personnel were the best I’ve ever experienced.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
It’s 20+ years old and the staterooms are tiny. It’s in good nick, though.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Well appointed, in good repair, but tiny … especially the bathroom.
