AZAMARA CLUB CRUISE

I have recently returned from a fabulous cruise on the Azamara Quest. My journey began in Nice and from here we went on the short journey to Monaco, St Tropez and Propriana in Corsica before having three wonderful days in Italy visiting the resorts of Amalfi and Sorrento. The highlight for me was definitely the ship itself. In my opinion, it is very much like a stately home at sea. For those who know the Devere 'Oulton Hall' it very much reminds me of that. The fixtures and furniture are very classy without being brash, and although the ship was small (approximately 500 passengers) it felt very spacious. The food was excellent, I liked the fact that it was open seating, no set times and very few queues for dinner. The dress code was smart casual throughout - no black tie or jackets. Azamara breaks away from the tradition of expensive drinks - house wine, beers, and many spirits are all free of charge! The white and red are changed every day giving everyone the chance to taste wines from around the world (the New Zealand Sauvignon was my favourite!) I was lucky to have an outside cabin with balcony which was lovely, very spacious and tastefully decorated. Azamara offers each passenger the option to take part in a free Azamazing evening excursion which I thought was a fabulous trip to the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco. I saw that most passengers did partake in this and the organisation was excellent. Overall, I had a wonderful time on this beautiful ship and would love to return.
