Sail Date: Mar 2016
Cabin: Club Oceanview Stateroom (obstructed view)

I have sailed on much larger ships and knew that things would be very different on a smaller ship. I wanted a different itinerary and after many discussions with travel advisers and friends who had sailed with Azamara I bit the bullet and paid far more than I would of liked to book this cruise.

I had been lead to believe that the service, food and more inclusive deals were far superior to other cruise lines I have traveled with. Alas this was not the case. Yes the sunbeds were wonderfully comfortable (the best I have experienced), the food lovely and the staff with a few exceptions very polite but this was nothing better than I have experienced.

The service was very slow most nights 2-3 hours for dinner, the staff work obviously overstretched, just not enough of them to give an efficient service.

Cabin Review

Club Oceanview Stateroom (obstructed view)

Cabin 08

Cabin smaller than anticipated but fine for a solo traveler. had been informed at booking that I would have a partially obstructed view but in fact my view was completely obstructed by a life boat. Sea and sky only just visible from the window at various awkward positions. cabin dark most of the time.

There was a very malodorous smell in the bathroom which didn't get resolved before i left although despite the efforts of the crew and officers.
