Small friendly ship. Food was very good - never had a problem selecting something and it always came up hot. Service was also very good. The host knew our name after the first night at the MDR. Breakfast and lunch buffet was also very good - different selections every day for lunch. We enjoyed the 'Living Room' bar and piano music. Different 'theme' music most nights - nice atmosphere and a ...

Although the food is incredible, the service is extremely slow and low quality. If you are someone who enjoys poolside service, this cruise is not for you because the average time I waited for a drink was roughly 45 minutes to an hour, and they consistently get your order wrong. The average time for all of our food to come in the dining room was roughly 2.5 hours and I have had staff roll their ...

We sailed Azamara in 2015, from Hong Kong to Singapore, and it was a 4.5-star experience. The crew was fabulous, attentive, and treated us like royalty. They knew what we liked to drink, where we liked to sit in the dining room, and whom we liked to sit with, after only after a few days. The food was excellent, and overall we had an incredible trip. Fast forward to 2023, we just got off the ...

This reports on an Azamara cruise in December, Miami to Miami, on the Azamara Onward. We have been loyal Azamara customers (more than 20 cruises on the line), but are at the point of finding other options. The pluses remain: Wonderful service and relatively competitive pricing. So do the minuses (incompetent reservations staff) and some new ones (seriously declining food quality). On the ...

I chose this 12-day Azamara Onward cruise at the recommendation of friends who have previously traveled with Azamara, and because of its reputation as a luxury line. Sadly, this was not my experience. Pre-departure information was not sent by email as promised (other cruises that I have been on mail luggage tags, etc.). I finally called customer service and was told that the info was emailed to ...

I am amazed by the negative reviews of the Azamara Onward cruises, especially in January 2023 which is when I took my cruise. After 7 days on the too-large, though underwhelming, Sky Princess in December cruising on the Onward was like paradise. My husband and I cruised this ship in 2011 when it was the Pacific Princess so I sort-of knew what to expect. This was my 20th cruise on six different ...

“Onward” is the latest “R” class ship to join the Azamara Fleet. The “R” class ships were originally operated by Renaissance Cruises. When Renaissance Cruises went belly up in 2002 the “R Three” as she was known was taken over by Princess Cruises along with “R Four” being renamed “Pacific Princess” and “Ocean Princess”. In 2021 Princess announced that “Pacific Princess” had been sold. Azamara ...

This was my first Azamara cruise and probably my last. I wanted a small ship experience. That's why I chose the Onward. I cruised on Princess, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Star Clipper and Crystal previously. The ship was badly refurbished. I stayed in a veranda cabin. The desk in the cabin had a big crank on it. This ship was just launched in May 2022. I felt that the cabin was cheaply ...

This was my least favourite cruise with Azamara and my least favourite ship. I'm not quite sure what is going on with the management on this ship, but something needs to change and change quick. I don't know how they could wander around and not notice the same things I was noticing. If they did, they obviously didn't care about addressing them. It did not seem like the usual Azamara, and ...
