Rotterdam Posted February 28, 2021 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2021 My partner & I did a 16 day Panama Canal cruise on Azamara several years(pre RCCL ownership) ago & really enjoyed everything about it. I see the line has been sold by to a private company & will have one additional ship. I'm looking forward to trying the line once again. One thing I did notice is that in one pic the ship was flying the gay flag.. Anyone else 8nterested on trying the NEW AZAMARA??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummblestrip Posted May 22, 2021 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I would like to sail Azamara. Me and my partner are going to try for a 2023 sailing in Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenGNNJ Posted July 29, 2021 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2021 My husband and I are doing Azamara for the first time for a 17 day Australia / New Zealand cruise, January 4, 2023. We originally booked the same cruise in 2020 but of course that was cancelled so we did a "lift & shift" (bend and snap) to 2021. That one was recently cancelled so we booked it again for January 2023 and negotiated a cabin upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeandBobNC Posted August 2, 2021 #4 Share Posted August 2, 2021 We are booked on Azamara Onward Athens to Venice Oct 2022. It will be our first cruise on Azamara, but we have sailed the same ship with Oceania. In talking to people on other cruises, we have never heard anything but good about Azamara. Of course, that was when it was part of RCCL. From what I have read, I get the sense that the new owner isn't really planning on changing much. I guess time will tell.

Somebody was posting on the Azamara board, their experiences as they were happening on a Quest sailing. Other than COVID related things, I got the sense not much has changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailorboys2 Posted November 18, 2021 #6 Share Posted November 18, 2021 We are booked on Azamara Venice to Athens the end of September 2022. It will be our first Azamara cruise.

Canberra601 Posted November 20, 2021 #7 Share Posted November 20, 2021 We are booked on the Azamara Journey in March 2022 doing the intensive Croatia cruise. It will be our first time on Azamara and we managed to get good OBC. Just a bit unclear about how the drink packages worth and whether the Ultimate Package is worth it.

tv24 Posted November 28, 2021 #8 Share Posted November 28, 2021 The old Azamara was the most gay-friendly line that we have ever sailed. They were pretty aggressive in marketing to LGBT folks. On board the Cruise Director and Hotel Director hosted LBGT meet-ups that were well-attended, plus tables in the dining room. We attended a party where a queer couple renewed their vows; the party was attended by several of the ship officers. The Hotel Director sought us out to hang out and chat. And the mix of passengers on board embraced same-sex couples. LGBT dancing nightly in the disco setting a convivial atmosphere. I didn't love everything about AZ, but I did love this aspect, especially after having had some homophobia issues on other lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
