Great Trip To Italy

June

Pros: Suite, specialty restaurants, preferred embarking and disembarking, food, cleanliness, butler

Cons: communication - written and verbal, excursions

Recommended: Yes

It always seemed like we never had the full story about restaurant times, activities, excursions and what they included or did not include, last minute changes to excursions. Even the daily activity handout had numerous errors and misleading information. Overall, communication needs a lot of improvement.

Amazing from top to bottom

April

Pros: The people, the ship

Cons: Smoking allowed on board

Recommended: Yes

The Onward is a beautiful ship and was such a good fit for our traveling style. We were made to feel very special everywhere we went because Onwards’ crew was amazing. The size of the ship was wonderful. Not too big and not too small

Canary Islands 7 day intensive cruise with Azamara

March

Pros: Extended time in each port, very affordable

Cons: Long flight times to travel to Canary Islands for 7 night cruise, cabins are fairly small

Recommended: No

More time in each port make Azamara itineraries very desirable. Because of the distance to the Canary Islands and the cost of air travel, it makes the 7 day cruise not very cost effective unless combined with a pre and/or post travel experience in that area of the world. The cabins are smaller than other cruiselines but the ship only holds 684 pax. which provides a comfortable, uncrowded feeling. Highly suggest booking specialty restaurants ahead of time rather than waiting to book once aboard the ship, since if the ship is full, the specialty restaurants are frequently unavailable, due to their small seating capacity. The timing of the excursion is important because during the 3 hour siesta time right after lunch, many tourist sites and facilities are closed. The food and staff were excellent.

Eastern Caribbean

January

Pros: Small ship, great service, no lines, no casinos, no art auctions

Cons: Small bathrooms

Recommended: Yes

This was our 11th voyage with Azamara and we have sailed on all 4 ships. Service is great. You see the officers on deck and are willing to talk with the passengers. The staff and crew are friendly and happy. Everyone goes out their way to make sure that each passenger has the best cruise possible. The White Night parties are a blast, delicious food served by the officers on the pool deck, the Amazing evenings feature local talent and also fun. The staff makes sure that everyone can attend and have in the past assigned a crew member to help those with mobility problems.

Our Onward Journey

June

Pros: Excellent food, gorgeous cabin, amazing staff.

Cons: Some blips that were mostly fixed along the way.

Recommended: Yes

Love small ship atmosphere, the crew were always smiling and greeting guests, they do not EVER nickel and dime you to death like bigger cruise ships. And no cheesy photos. It costs a bit more up front, but it’s so worth it.
