Additional details
We originally only planned one cruise this year, and chose Azamara for an August cruise from Venice, through Croatia and the Amalfi coast to Rome, because of it's wonderful itinerary. We had never heard of Azamara before that, and loved the cruise and everything about it -- ship, room, food, service, ports, etc.
One month later, my husband got an email from Azamara highlighting this Asian cruise and said "We have to go. It's the cruise of a lifetime!" I originally thought he was crazy since we already did our "big" vacation in August, but eventually, he talked me into it, and boy am I glad he did!
Our August cruise was 7 ports in 7 days, and while wonderful, was tiring not to have time to rest before the next port. This cruise was 13 days, but it had 4 days at sea in between, and more overnight stops, so the pace was easier.
Cabin Review
Club Veranda Stateroom
This was a great cabin. On our first cruise, we had an outside cabin, but no veranda, and it was really nice. This time, we had a veranda room, and it really added something, to have such large floor to ceiling windows -- even when we didn't actually sit in the veranda.
Also the room was on the right side of the ship, and hugged the shoreline as we came into each of our ports. The views were lovely. The layout was better than our last cabin, since the table was near the window, instead of near the door, so it was easier getting in and out of the cabin. Also, they had plenty of nooks and crannies to store all of our stuff, and we had a lot!
Port Reviews
Koh Samui
No tour and not much time to be there, but was nice walking around port, and sitting down and having some coffee, and looking for souvenirs, etc. and able to use WIFI at most places. Port is very close to where
