Azamara cruise was excellent - we thoroughly enjoyed the stops in particular the Azamara amazing evening which was a concert in an amphitheatre, Syros, Monemvasia, Corfu and Venice. Santorini was way too crowded and not much of interest on Zante. Staff were very attentive, ship delightful but it would have been good to have more organised activities on board.
We just wanted to say how impressed we were with Iglu’s advice and assistance prior to departure plus the organisation of a super hotel in Athens and taxis which all worked perfectly.
Many thanks

Serving staff were very efficient and overall it was a comfortable experience but lacked any wow factor. The basics were however good. Shore excursions were overpriced and poorly run - guides (with one exception) did not use Vox so impossible to hear what they were saying unless you spoke one-to-one with them.
