Login Built to cross oceans, cruise along scenic waterways and dock at locations larger ships can’t access — this small ship cruising experience is unlike any other.
We really enjoyed our August Onward Med cruise. It was our first small ship, first luxury cruise and our ninth cruise brand. All our previous ships have been much bigger. Overall the biggest difference, besides size, was the level of service. The captain said on the introductory show to just ask for what we wanted. Frankly this advice was rarely needed as the staff were so accommodating. The Ship was small and old but in good shape. It was a pleasure to be a deck or 2 from wherever we wanted to be. The cabaret lounge was perfectly adequate. The various bars and common spaces were all well kept up. Food was good and occasionally great. Great was the spectacular room service and MDR breakfasts. The dinners were ordinary there but better in the Windows buffet as we could enjoy the veranda while the staff pampered us. You couldn't beat the views. The meals were themed both in the buffet and MDR. The salads options were excellent as were the cheeses. The burger area by the pool (The Patio) was rarely busy. You could order and staff would bring you your order. The coffee was great either served or self served from quality machines. We aren't big drinkers and were very satisfied with the included drink package. The mixed drinks were well made although oddly variable for the same request. A wider variety of beers would have been nice. There was a service gap between food offering in the mid evening but it could be solved by room service or the deck 5 cafe. We are not used to a small ship. Entertainment was reasonable. The CD(Roy) and ASD(Justin) were talented, funny and played well off each other. The white night was entertaining but waiting in long lines for food was not. The Azamazing evening was great fun. The Goldoni theatre was a spectacular venue for The Belcanto Sisters performance. They were fine but the impressive attention to detail was fabulous. As we returned staff with various drinks and the house band on the dock awaited us. Wow! Our cabin was very well located. We were very happy as we had booked a balcony guarantee. Yes the shower is very small but the rest of the bathroom, cabin and balcony were satisfactory. Things have been well updated including TV, USB C and power outlets with good bedding. The fridge and safe worked properly. One issue was the room temperature. It was very hot. Maintenance quickly fixed it by turning the fan speed way up. It was noisy but a good trade off. Our steward Jonel was very competent keeping our cabin clean and stocked with soda and water quickly and efficiently. He even brought us a couple of extra pens to keep as souvenir's. He was not over the top friendly which I appreciated. The balcony has a proper eating table which was a first for me. The chairs were regular upright not lounge type. Again a reasonable trade off. The TV channels were limited as were the movies on offer . Going to Rome after the cruise we greatly enjoyed Roman Holiday. 73 years later Rome remains the Eternal city. Boarding was very professionally handled but debarkation in Civitavecchia was a mad house when trying to catching a bus to the train station. I'm not sure if this was in Azamara's hands. One issue I had was with the tenders. The service was good although waiting for the boat to fully fill up before leaving seemed chintzy. A short word on Teck. Get an app Azamara and improve the on board site! Finally I'd think that Azamara should consider larger ships alongside with the current R class ships. Perhaps buy a Spirit class ship or two from CCL if they want a bargain. We would certainly cruise again with Azamara.
This was our first Azamara cruise and we didn't know what to expect. We have taken several Viking cruises and can honestly say this was superior. The Embarkation was fast and seamless. The food was excellent. The service was great since there are only 700 guests max. The service and food was so superior we didn't even try the upgraded restaurants. Yes the excursions were not included like Viking but Viking excursions are bad to say the least. Azamara is very port intensive which we loved. In addition at most of the Mediterranean ports we arrived at 8am and left after 8pm giving us a lot of time to visit. Unlike Viking, tips and drinks were included in the price and the 24/7 room service menu was very impressive. Do not miss the hamburgers at the pool bar. The pool bar menu was the best I've seen as sea. We loved the extra details like the morning breakfast with table cloths on the veranda, very classy. The linens and bathrobes were excellent. The bed was the finest bed I've ever had on a cruise. The cabin was silent we never heard our neighbors and the AC was fantastic. However, the bathroom is a sore spot and the butt of most jokes from the passengers. You will end up getting the bathroom soaked because of the lousy shower curtain and shower design. Many larger passengers said they bathed at the spa since they couldn't fit in the shower! They supply Elemis products which is nice but there is not much more they can do with the bathroom. Another anomaly is the charge for internet which seemed weird for an upscale line. They have a 6 person band which was good but they rarely utilized them, not sure what they did all day. It would of been nice to hear them during the day even at the pool. There is almost no activities provided during the day. They have singers and dancers who were adequate and would of been better if the shows were professionally produced, instead they were dreadful. I was embarrassed for them. The guest performers were great (no musicians, magicians, etc. ) Azamara should only have guest performers with various skills and eliminate their band and singers/dancers. The Azamazing night was a lot of fun and memorable. The white night on the ship would of been better if we all didn't have to fight in a small space for the buffet. The staff looked like they were going to pass out from the heat in addition the food at the event was mediocre. Next time we will eat in the dining room and then join the festivities. Also, I recommend calling Azamara if you need answers since their website is not user friendly. If you are handicap I cannot recommend Azamara. The pool has no steps to enter just a latter and there is no handicap pool chair lift. In addition none of the heavy wood doors open automatically making it very difficult for a handicap person. In the end although it is an older ship with some hiccups, (it will go in for refurbishment next year 2027, which is needed since the cabins are outdated), the attention to service and the food will have us as returning customers.
