Review summary

Azamara Pursuit is a very nice ship with excellent service for the most part. The itinerary was very good and it allowed us to see many sites at a leisurely pace. I would probably sail on the ship again for the right itinerary.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Problems with Internet slowed process but staff were very considerate.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Specialty restaurants are excellent but main dining room is chaotic at dinner and the menu is poor.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Not much to do onboard. Fitness center is fine.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Entertainment is terrible except for lounge band Lucky Charm.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Very good service throughout the ship. Butler and cabin attendant were excellent.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Everything was clean and neat. Breakfast venue is directly above many of the suites which is a problem for late risers.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Good size and space. Large balcony. Bathroom is just OK but tub is too tall for older passengers to step into comfortably.

Ship tip

Go for the itinerary not on-board activities. Pay extra for specialty restaurants. They are worth it.
