	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 65+ Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview Four and 1/2 Stars by Marv K from Zhengzhou, Cn Sailing date: Jan 2010 Pros: Food and Itinerary Cons: Excursions and Minor irritations I was a recent passenger on the Azamara Quest sailing out of Hong Kong on January 9th. I have cruised Celebrity, RCL and other cruiselines and was looking forward to Azamara. My opinion at this point is that the cruise would be rated a 4.5 star. If I were to summarize the deficiencies (and they are not large but enough to cost a 1/2 star), it would be the "attention to details". The following are suggestions: Butler- Putting a cabin steward in a tuxedo and calling him a butler is a joke. I fault not the individual but the training he did or did not receive. We had to request slippers, travel bag and at the end of the cruise some additional soap. All of that should have been available without having us request it. Casino -My wife loves to play the slots and while we don't expect to win, we do expect to play for awhile. The slots were not updated and the payout was abysmal. Laundry- How can a luxury cruiseline nickel and dime its passengers with washers and dryers that have to take quarters. Also, my wife spent a lot of time waiting in the laundry due to shortage of machines. Time better spent enjoying the cruise. Itinerary- This was the absolute best part of the cruise experience. The opportunity to enjoy the ports without rushing. One suggestion, perhaps instead of DaNang, the cruise could stop in Hanoi. Excursions-We took two excursions, one we would rate 4.5 stars and the other 1.5 stars. The positive excursion was in Cambodia (Cambodia and Environs). It allowed us to see the culture of the country. The poorest excursion was to Imperial Hue. I am a Vietnam veteran and heard much about the battle for Hue and wanted to see for myself. It was a 2,5 hour bus trip each way, one hour for lunch and 45 minutes at Hue. Hue was disappointing since much of the city was being restored and no indication of the battle and the guide didn't have a clue as to how it was fought. All in all it was a poor excursion. Miscellaneous- There was a feeling of being nickeled and dimed. I exchanged money on the ship and the exchange rate was outrageous. When I complained, the response was that was what Bank America charged. Ironically there was an exchange service that came on board in Thailand that had a better rate than the ship. Charging for special coffee during meals, laundry costs, all these gave the feeling of getting the last penny out tof the passenger. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 65+ Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Great Experience by Texas Couple from Georgetown, Texas Sailing date: Sep 2009 Pros: Size of the ship and the quality staff Cons: Some foods and the coffee were not as hot as they could have been. We didn't see anybody win in the casino. The ship was well designed and clean. Good variety of food and well presented. The Captain gave regular updates on all aspects of weather and ports. Excursions were well organized and departures from the ship stress free. The lack of assigned meal times and table assignments allowed us to meet many different people and form memorable friendships. The size of the ship made it easy to get around. U.S Dollars were the ship currency and currency exchanges for various countries were handled quickly and efficiently. This made shopping easy. We will definitely cruise on Azamara again and we recommend it to anyone. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 65+ Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Balcony The Worst! by A Traveler from Dallas, TX Sailing date: Jan 2009 Pros: Size of the ship Cons: Completely disorganized I cruised on the Quest from Hong Kong to Beijing in Feb. 2009 and it was a complete disaster. The norovirus was going around the ship and everyone was sick. I stayed healthy but passengers were threatened with instant removal from the ship if they didn't report their illness. It was their first time in these ports and immigration was terrible. We disembarked 4 hours late in Beijing and got off before our bags which were literally thrown in a pile on the dock. As a widow who travels alone (24 cruises on Celebrity) I was informed I could not eat in the specialty restaurants alone or join another table. I had to find someone to dine with before I could make a reservation. I felt invisible on this ship. Hopefully they will get their act together as I really would like to cruise with Azamara again. 14 out of 14 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Balcony Great cruise! by Dana S from Turlock, CA Sailing date: Jan 2009 Pros: Nice size ship and perfect number of passengers. Cons: Food was mediocore. We loved the size of the ship. We had plenty of choices of restaurants, activites and entertainment. Our stateroom was adequate and storage was enough for two females (lots of shoes)! We thoroughly enjoyed the spa and exercise facilities, although they could have used a few more employess in the spa. Overall we had a wonderful time and we would defininatly cruise on this ship or the sister "Journey" again. 17 out of 20 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?
