Overall the ports of call all very interesting,as the title suggests embarkation was pure farce,one line to drop bags 35-40 minutes and another to have carry-ons scanned again 35 40 minutes in the hot sun. Thank goodness it wasn't raining!People turning up before their designated time didn't help.
Once on board we had to check in in the cabaret lounge, quite a slick operation.
Aqualina was disappointing with my fish being well overcooked and my partners pasta was dried up with a crust around the edge, we sent them back and the second attempt was exactly the same, Service was rushed as if the kitchen wanted to finish the shift early.Not good for a paid for specialty restaurant.
PrimeC was much the same extremely disappointing. The head chef was Indian soo at least Indian themed dishes had some flavour otherwise the food was pretty bland with left overs unimaginatively served at breakfast.
The stateroom was typical Azamara compact ,the bathroom was tiny ,with the shower the same,tiny and with a curtain
Our favourite spot was the Sunset bar with outside seating for all meals,heaven.
The production shows were wonderful,the rest of the offerings we didn't bother with.
As I said at the beginning the itinerary was great, but overall a disappointing cruise with inadequate seat in public areas.
As with nearly all cruise lines the crew were faultless ,particularly Sanjeev and Milroy.
