5 out of 5 stars

This cruise was exceptionally set up with a wonderful ship (refurbished) and very thoughtful crew.

Pros: Clean ship, excellent service, tasty food

Cons: Perhaps food was a bit repetitive and passengers, in their eagerness to get food, were a bit pushy.

I especially availed myself of the many services of the spa: facial, haircut, manicure/pedicure. I have severe spinal arthritis and spinal stenosis and have experienced a lot of pain and weakness. Ani, the acupuncturist was so skilled that my pain and numbness disappeared, and I was able to stand straight for the first time in years. Without those treatments, I could not have done any of the excursions. I am now following up with a Chinese acupuncturist in Champaign. Nelson, my cabin steward was so helpful. When I needed to pack the many jars and tubes of oils and salves from the spa, he procured a roll of bubble wrap, tape, and a scissors.

Pros: Staff friendly and went out of their way to be helpful

Cons: Descriptions of Azamara excursions not always accurate

Incredible journey. Some changes due to safety issues in the area Sea and Suez Canal resulting in a repositioning cruise around South Africa. The end result was the most remarkable, interesting and fun cruise I have ever been on. Azamara really pulled out all the stops to make this special and it was with about 150 passengers and 400 crew.

Pros: Size of ship, wonderful crew, Great Itinerary

It always seemed like we never had the full story about restaurant times, activities, excursions and what they included or did not include, last minute changes to excursions. Even the daily activity handout had numerous errors and misleading information. Overall, communication needs a lot of improvement.

Pros: Suite, specialty restaurants, preferred embarking and disembarking, food, cleanliness, butler

Cons: communication - written and verbal, excursions

The Onward is a beautiful ship and was such a good fit for our traveling style. We were made to feel very special everywhere we went because Onwards’ crew was amazing. The size of the ship was wonderful. Not too big and not too small
