I have over 40 cruises to my credit on nine different cruise lines, and I would have to say Oceania was the biggest disappointment despite the fact the fact they were the most hyped.
The ships were dead at 10:30pm at night as everyone was wrapped up in bed.The crew were uninspiring,, but the biggest disappointment of all was the food.
I found the food very dated, stuck in the 1970, and 80’s. Yes it was well cooked and well presented but when you have a consultant chef who is well in his 80’s the food just lacked imagination and flair cross the ship.
I have been a regular Az cruise and cruised Az post Covid twice in the past 10 months and have found the food and the new menus to have what is almost a cutting edge. There are lots of ethnic touches and flavours filled with the spices and discoveries that Azamara is all about.
I know not everyone is thrilled by the infusion of spice, but I think the new approach is clever and setting the mark for destination immersion brand.
