Azamara Quest Pictorial, Rome to Venice - September 2013

[LN50]

Hi Tim, I loved reading your review. Hope Rosy is feeling brighter now.

When we were there on Azamara in June there was not a charge for the shuttle.

 

The mention of few taxis and difficulty with local buses and the offer of the $49 return by bus, came on an information sheet left in our stateroom (I believe the night before).

Thanks for your review and photos...I particularly liked the photo of Dubrovnik...one of my favourite ports...

Thank you for your review Tim and i do hope Rosy is feeling a bit better!

 

I for one love pictorial reviews - I did one for my trip on the NCL Jade and I know what hard work they are. I just love looking at pics and the Med ports are just gorgeous!

 

Definitely sailing in and out of Venice is amazing and an experience I would like to repeat before they ban cruise ships doing this! I can't believe that 12 cruise ships were in port on one day - wow!

 

I have stayed in Venice twice now - if you want a lovely b&b with great reviews there is a place called Ca Bonvicini or you can stay on the Lido as a cheaper alternative as the vaporettos are very regular from/to there and even better value is a vaporetto pass if you are staying there a few days as you can get to and from the Lido and then go onto Burano and Murano.

Our small gem in Venice is the Ca dei Dogi. 6 rooms right behind the doge's palace. Fantastic rooms and good prices. 2 min from everything. :)

Thank you, Tim. Looking forward to the rest of the review. We are considering making a B2B with Azamara Quest in june 2014 and as we only have sailed with the Journey it could be interesting to know which ship you preferred.:)

 

HI Odd Job - the two ships are identical, i believe. Been on Quest twice and loved it both times.

Get a suite on 8 deck - close to all the action and be spoilt by some of the perks.

Ayoub is a treasure to the Line. He's our butler midships on 8 deck Port side.

Fabulous Gent from Turkey. 12 months ago we sailed from Rio to Miami - nearly 3 weeks and by the time we arrived, the crew were like old friends. Even they relaxed!

I'm planning to cross the Atlantic this September on QM2 - we'll see how the big ships compare. Stay tuned...:D
