Review summary

The Greek islands well worth a visit. Lots of sea days but we didn’t mind that. Azura our ship was a very busy ship with lots going on so if you are after some peace and quiet forget it. Missed having a retractable roof in the pool area. Seascreen was a waste of time. Bad sound quality.

5 out of 5
Staff friendly and attentive

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Sometimes public toilets ran out of toilet paper and had to ring a member of staff to restock. Constant background music in public areas that got on our nerves. Waiting times for the lifts became tiresome after a while. Unable to use stairs because of walking aid.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Clean and tidy. Handy position on ship.

I did this cruise too. I did get a bit bored on the sea days. Sea screen needs updating as it went all weird by the end of the cruise
