Our very first cruise.
What a good choice.
From the start, we enjoyed ourselves. On arrival at our veranda stateroom, we thought it was …a little neat. But after unpacking everything we found we had drawers to spare. Bonus points for supplying plenty of decent hangers.
We had breakfast and lunch every day in the buffet. Delicious.
Evenings were spent in the discoveries restaurant.
For every meal we had linen napkins. What a treat.
The bed was comfortable.
The crew were very attentive. We talked to as many as we could, and most were on their sixth or seventh contract. One waiter we spoke to told us he had been there 16 years.
That speaks volumes for the company.
Very few downsides.
Will we do it again? Just trying to clear the diary to accommodate it……

I like to cruise but on a smaller ship and the Azamara ships are just the right size. With an occupancy of just 650 people after a few days friendships blossom, these vessels are my home from home

Just got back from a Caribbean cruise on the Azamara Onward. It was our first cruise with this company but it won’t be our last! Everything was first class from the food to the service and much more. The small ship experience after sailing on the massive 4000+ passenger ships was an amazing experience, so much more personal service and we felt we were actually appreciated. Thank you Iglu for your excellent service and arrangements and thank you Captain G and your fantastic crew for a wonderful holiday.
