I Cruised on Azamara Onward, and it Wasn't as Luxurious as I Thought it would be!

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators evaluate their experience aboard the Azamara Onward during a voyage through Croatia and Montenegro. They describe the ship as having a boutique hotel feel with refined, subtle elegance, though they note several maintenance issues. Specifically, they highlight shabby stair nosing, scuffed stateroom doors, and a need for urgent attention in the spa facilities. While the staterooms are described as comfortable and practical, particularly regarding the unprecedented number of power outlets, the creators find the bathrooms to be quite small and the lack of on-demand movies to be a shortcoming compared to competitors. The dining experience is a major highlight, with the creators praising the high quality of food in both the main dining room and the buffet. They also review specialty restaurants like Prime C and Aquilina, concluding that the inclusive dining is excellent. Entertainment is described as mediocre and somewhat amateurish, making the ship less suitable for those seeking high-production shows or families with children. However, the creators conclude that the exceptional service and high-quality dining provide great value for money, ultimately leading them to book another cruise with the line.
