We have cruised with Azamara once before and thoroughly enjoyed it, not that their system credits us with having done so. When we saw the inventory for the Spice Route Voyage, plus a very good deal for the cruise including air fares and pre-cruise hotel, we booked up 11 months in advance.
GOOD
HOTEL - A pre-cruise hotel was included in Singapore and the one provided, the Conrad Centennial, was excellent. Large very well equipped room. Comfortable bed. Huge TV. Bath and separate shower. Truly amazing breakfast buffet selection. Very well trained staff. While not near the main shops in Orchard Road it was in the Marina Bay area with access to the huge Suntec City shopping complex.
