Why seasoned cruisers
like the Azamara Quest

I informally surveyed them during a Mediterranean cruise to learn what they like best about it. These ten reasons stand out:

Service

The staff is one of the friendliest and most helpful in the cruise industry.

Fare

The ship (a luxury-upmarket hybrid) has a luxury feel at an affordable price.

Nearly all-inclusive

Fare includes restaurants, house wines, waiter & cabin gratuities, and more.

Itineraries

Late departures and overnighters allow you to better experience port areas.

Dining venue variety

Choices include Discoveries, Aqualina, Prime C, and Windows Cafe.

Ship size

Being mid-sized, it can offer big-ship amenities, but on a personal level.

Cabins

Well appointed and laid out. 94% have ocean views. Nearly 70% have verandas.

Public areas

They are cozy, comfortable, nicely appointed, and relatively spacious.

Poolside ambiance

Because few if any children are onboard, screaming kids won't disturb your peace.

Lines

Whether for dining, disembarkation, whatever, they were short or nonexistent.

Fellow passengers

You rarely encounter inconsiderate, loud, or otherwise disturbing fellow cruisers. And your peace and quiet won't be distrubed by a bevy of screaming children aboard.

The ship is not right for you if ...

You're bringing children and teenagers (there are no specialized programs or facilities for them) You desire activities like waterslides and glitzy Las Vegas style entertainment You're on a very tight budget
