Great summary, Debbie! Thanks for your review. I agree with everything you noted about the cruise...including beautiful Corsica. It was wonderful to get to know you and your husband on the voyage. :)

The service was extraordinary, the food was wonderful. (We ate almost all our meals at the deck 9 buffet or at the pool grill, with the exception of one dinner in the main dining room.)

I do wish there was a little more nightlife on Azamara, but I guess that it the trade-off of the smaller ship. My husband and I enjoyed meeting other people on tours or when sharing tables. People were really friendly and willing to chat.

I will post my own "mini-review" this week.

Hi Bonnie,

The page looks great! How does one apply to be a guest blogger?

We love Azamara--looking forward the our fourth cruise--and dining at the Sunset Bar is one of the highlights of the onboard experience for my husband and me. Please reconsider the proposed change. Thank you.

The Mosaic was one of my favorite places on my two cruises (...the other favorite was any outdoor table for dinner at Windows!)

Mosaic is such nice spot for a latte and book in the morning, as well as an after-dinner coffee in the evening. Great staff and atmosphere.

Oceania it is! We just booked.

Thank you for your generosity of time and advice. What a great group!

Now, to wait until November...:)

Thank you very much for the advice! We are leaning toward Oceania over Celebrity, although Celebrity is less expensive and currently includes a free drinks package opeion. I love the fact our Oceania ship would be the same as the ships we sailed on with Azamara.

Thanks again.

We are booking a Caribbean cruise this week and are trying to decide between Oceania and Celebrity. Oceania doesn't seem to offer a trip to Mayan ruins from Cozumel, except for El Cedral. Celebrity does offer excursions. Has anybody done DIY/private tour when on Oceania in Cozumel? I don't know if time or port location is the issue. We are in port from 8-6.

We have not sailed either Oceania or Celebrity, but we LOVE Azamara and hope that either will be a good fit.

I have searched the Cozumel port board, but I am hoping for info specifically on Oceania options/logistics.

Thank you,

Mary
