Azamara Cruises Reviews

I was hoping for better weather but I guess no one can predict that. As for Azamara, as always, excellent. The staff are above and behond, food excellent and being a small ship, the passengers are easy to mingle with.

Crew,food and shows were exceptional Lots of activities to keep us busy and forget about the cold weather..

The Good: Overall pleased with the ship, the veranda stateroom and the service. Food was great and varied. The ability of the ship to travel up the Guadalquivir River to Seville was a bonus since it enabled us to stay on board while visiting this beautiful city for 2 plus days. Azamazing Night in Valencia's City of Arts and Sciences was wonderful as well as the Flamenco performance at the Tablao de Arsenal in Seville. The Bad: Stateroom requests addressed to the attendants were often not completed as promised. We missed out on our one day in Cartagena, but no fault of the ship due to windy weather conditions and high waves. The small resort town of Portimao in Portugal is a recent addition to the itinerary that is not worth a full-day's visit. The Ugly: Excursion selection from the website was a mess, with trips to the Alhambra in Granada removed from the website the week before the cruise for no reason. We had to engage Viator at the last minute to see the Alhambra. Same thing with Seville, where the Real Alcazar in Seville was nowhere to be found on the excursions list, but the ship's concierge managed to get us self-guided tour tickets at the last minute. Unfortunately, we had to cut the tour short due to the unexpected decision of the crew to leave port one hour earlier than scheduled.

Excursions were very disappointing. Service on ship was very good and food was OK. Liked the “all inclusive” approach. Entertainment was also good.

Staff overwhelmed with variety of tasks, many still performed excellent. Food very good.. Over all 4.7.

Absolutely no communication prior to departure. Blamed on new IT--not my problem, but Azmara shifted it to me. Complaint brought nothing. Did not particularly like the first 3 stops--little or nothing to do unless you took a long excursion, I would think there are better choices of port. The good part--the onboard crew was a treat, most of them went way out of their way to be helpful and make the cruise enjoyable. The relatively small ship made it possible to get to know a few fellow passengers.

They did not remove feathers from suite, Restaurant food and service was mediocre at best. Room care staff and buttler were great.

Ship was very festive great decorating throughout the ship, staff and crew were fantastic nothing seemed to much trouble and everyone seemed very happy in the respective positions, more choices of fresh vegetables would be very welcome, all in all I very good first time on Azamara

My wife and I had a wonderful time. The crew was fabulous (as usual). The ports of call were as good as we expected.

The Azamara Journey and staff were wonderful. The ship was bright, fresh and spotless. We loved the art found around the ship. When one of our destinations had issues with civil unrest, the Captain and crew went to work and selected a new destination with new excursions and took care of every detail for the guests. I felt safe and secure aboard at all times. If you’re a cruiser who loves to rock climb, slide down water slides and rocks out at loud pool parties, this cruise is NOT for you. If you enjoy a more gentile type of cruising, I highly recommend Azamara.

Excellence in everything. Eric the cruise director fantastic.

An amazing experience. we loved every minute!

Exceeded expectations and we have rebooked for June on Baltic’s Ten stars
