A very good experience as far as the cruise was concerned. Minor criticisms are the size of the shower and toilet facilities - we were ok but others might struggle as they are quite petite, however the crew were outstanding and the ship was kept very clean and tidy.
Would we sail with Azamara again? yes!

Excellent service; lots of staff always there to serve you, food and drinks are of exceptional high standard and there was always plenty of choice .
Embarkation/disembarkation was smooth and well organised.
The ship was very friendly but quiet overall with no queues, sunbeds were always available.
The entertainment was every night but a little disappointing for me as I'm used to larger ships with a lot more variety in that area.
Overall I would still recommend especially if you like a quieter holiday. This is boutique cruising on an older smaller ship.

A very enjoyable holiday, made possible by the efforts of the Iglu staff. In particular, Gemma and later Carli in Customer Relations. As ever, well done Iglu.
