The Good

Azamara to me is is is a gem. It is truly u my favorite cruises have been on Azamara

The food is amazing. The entertainment is amazing. There is I can't say enough positive things about it

Once you come on, you're going to fall in love with the product, and it's going to be very difficult for you to go to a like go back to a mainstream cruise experience

We had two of our crew got up and sang for us all, Captain, and they were incredible, weren't they?

The magic of Azimar Cruises is all of the crew members that serve you every single day.

The Watch-outs

just know if you have a wheelchair this is going to be difficult someone will have to push you

it has not been the most organized of the ones we've done it has not been
