Embarkation went very smoothly. We arrived at the Azamara pier around 11:30 a.m. and parked in the garage across the street. At the pier, we exchanged our 'Express Pass' for a 'Sea Pass' and then boarded the Journey, where we were welcomed with a glass of pink champagne and allowed to make dinner reservations in Prime C for that evening. We enjoyed a buffet lunch in Windows Cafe, and were told our stateroom was ready about 1:30 p.m.

Penthouse Suite 8088 is a spacious, tastefully decorated suite located portside aft, with a sitting room, separate bedroom/bath and a wrap around veranda with 2 lounge chairs and a table and chair set. The sitting room has a sofa and two chairs, dining area for 4, huge buffet with complimentary liquor, water and soft drinks, a separate (paid) mini-bar refrigerator, large flat screened TV and separate powder room. The adjacent bedroom contains a bed which can be two twins or combined into a queen bed, an entire wall of storage with closets and cubbies and TV, as well as a mirrored, seated vanity area, and computer desk. The bathroom has a large sink/vanity area with 2 side cabinets, a WC with self-closing lid (no joke), and a whirlpool tub/shower combo.

We were surprised at the amount of space in the suite, and the view from the veranda was amazing, stretching aft to the horizon and around the port side. Our butler and his assistant were always polite, personable and considerate. He saw that we had fresh flowers and fruit daily, was consistently available and often went out of his way to accommodate our requests. The room was always cleaned while we were at breakfast, and the bed was turned down, lights dimmed, chocolate dipped strawberries or other bedtime treat awaiting us when we returned from dinner.
