Review summary

We are looking into Azamara for a 2019 vacation. Hopefully the few issues with food service will be addressed by then.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Getting our luggage was good BUT checking-in took a very long time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food quality was very good. We have traveled on the Quest before but the service in the restaurant this time was quite not up to our past experience (e.g., requests for coffee more than once, "rushed" through dinner at times, sometimes staff could not explain food choices, etc.)

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The lectures offered regarding our ports of call were very interesting and informative.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The music offered at night was good.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Our cabin steward was very good. The restaurant staff not so much (see above).

Very interesting going through the Panama Canal- the commentary from the shipboard "expert" before and during the transit through the canal was very good.
