Review summary

We have taken 5 Princess cruises (3500+ guests plus crew) and after taking this cruise with the Azamara Quest, I am hooked on small ships! I particularly liked the captain with his honesty and transparency in this period of Covid. I have a credit on a Viking cruise, but after I have used it, I will become an Azamara loyalist! Such personalized, friendly service.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Really good, considering the WiFi went out in that terminal (E) so there was a lot of waiting going on. This was the fault of Port of Miami, NOT Azamara

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The main dining room was so good, we chose not to go to the specialty restaurants. Buffets were very good also. We had a fabulous wait staff lead by Ryan dSouza (sp?).

Entertainment

The shows were wonderful. The ship's dancers and singers did a wonderful job. The talent that was brought in was amazing.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
As noted above, our waiter, Ryan dSouza, was the best we have EVER experienced! He took care of us at every turn . . . even before we knew we needed it! Our room steward, Oscar (stateroom 6072) was so accommodating, friendly, professional and thorough.

Cabin / Stateroom

The room was a bit small, but overall, it worked just fine. It was clean, comfortable, and the balcony was perfect for us. Our steward, Oscar, treated us like we were his only customers.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
No excursion. Port of Miami put Quest in a different terminal (E) which was not for a small ship and this caused several embarking problems.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

2 out of 5
We liked the island, but not the excursion. Excursion advertised places that had been closed for months. It was basically a van-ride.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
We got an independent tour guide here. She was excellent and took us all over the island. So glad we did this.

Roseau, Dominica

Again, we loved the waterfalls!

Castries, St. Lucia

Great excursion! Got to swim, saw the Pitons, great guides and services!

Mayreau, Grenadines Did not visit port

Grenadines wouldn't let ship dock because of Covid.

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5
Beautiful island. The cave excursion was amazing!

Basseterre, St. Kitts Did not visit port

St. Kitts would not let us dock because of Covid. Our captain got us into Antigua where we took a wonderful visit all over the island and visited beautiful historical sights

San Juan, Puerto Rico Did not visit port

Our captain chose not to visit San Juan because too much Covid on the island. Our captain managed to get us to Tortola which was beautiful and the excursion to the Tortola Baths was amazing.

Key West, Florida Did not visit port

Key West would not allow us to dock because of Covid. Captain tried to get us to Bahamas, but Bahamas never answered his request, so we had another sea day.

Disembarkation
