Our first time on Azamara and we were pleased with the whole thing. As ever, there were some places where we didn't have enough time and others that could have been left out - but no doubt other people would think the opposite!
The Azamazing evening was particularly great, and the Maori group, and the Aboriginal group were particularly interesting.

Have been on Azamara many times and love it mainly because it is a relatively small boat and also the staff are very professional, helpful and friendly. This was the first time I had booked through Iglu and I was most impressed. Everything worked very smoothly.

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!
