Creator's Key Takeaways

Azamara is famous for their intimate Journeys though they do things that are a lot more immersive into the ports

we're in Scotland for the first time so this is fun for us we're in a new country and we're doing it on our own

it's a really wonderful atmosphere what's really interesting is that there's an absence of police and protesters

they know your order they know what kind of coffee you want they know what you want with it and they just just bring it to you
