Really enjoyed our first cruise with Azamara on the Journey. We loved the food and service. The Azamazing Evening was at a Chateau in Bordeaux and unfortunately the rain was non-stop that evening but it was obvious that event planners never took rain into consideration when planning this event.

The buses were at least a 5 minute walk from the gangway so, many of the guest were soaked before reaching the bus, even with umbrellas. Our bus driver got lost and a 30 minute trip took about 50 minutes. We got off the bus for a wine tour at the Chateau. The wine tour lasted 10 minutes then we had to re-board the bus to be driven a few more minutes to the tented venue where wine and cheese was served. For my taste, the wine and cheese we had in the buffet onboard was far superior to that at the Chateau. The entertainment was a girls choir and some trumpeters, and that was it except for the mosquitos that arrived. We would have not bothered to get off the ship, but if you signed up and did not attend, there would be a charge to our account, so off we went to the Unamazing evening.

I cannot imagine the expense, but whatever Azamara paid and ultimately we paid was not worth it. The staff tried their best but we would have had a better time if a tent was set up outside the ship and they served us wine and cheese. It seems the evenings are hit and miss. I would definitely cruise With Azamara again but not for the Azamazing evening.

Hi Smwinc,

 

Here's what I've learned. Hope this helps, and have a wonderful time on Journey ! :

 

Quai chevire I/II

Zone portuaire de chevire

Rue de l'houmaille

44340 bouguenais - france

Thank you Host Andy: I did contacted Azamara as well and was assured this was the location for docking the ship. Not sure if it is near City Centre or not but at least it is a dock not and office building which was one of the previous addresses given to me last week.

Does anyone know where we port in Bordeaux?

 

Thanks!

I have checked several times with Azamara for port locations for the entire cruise and have been given many conflicting locations over the course of the last 2 weeks. This is what I was told as of a week ago; however, you may still want to contact Azamara yourself just before the cruise in case they change locations again. This is indeed close to the City Centre of Bordeaux and I think you will love Bordeaux.

Bordeaux, France

Palais de la Bourse

3, place Gabriel

Bordeaux, Cedex 33075

France

We have been in contact with Azamara several times to get the locations where the ship will be docked on our August 20 Food and Wine cruise. We were given 3 different locations where the ship will be docked in Nantes FR. We booked a private tour and our tour consultant say the address we were given BP 18609 18 quai Ernest Renaud, Nantes 44186 is the cruiseline office not the port. Can anyone help us as Azamara cannot?

We were in 7020 on Quest and it was fine.

Thanks for responding, sorry I have been away from CC For a while and just checked today.

Has anyone been in this cabin?

We have used the RomeInLimo Company three times including this time for transfer to and from Fiumicino Airport, Downtown Rome Hotels and the Port of Civitavecchia. They are always punctual and reliable. Mauro was our driver and took us from the port to our hotel near the airport and also suggest a nice restaurant to eat.

 

I would especially like to thank Jany, who must work 24/7. She arranged Pick-up from Civitavecchia to our hotel while we were still on the ship. The transfer in a private Mercedes SUV was more economical than the ships' transfer.

I too have a couple of coupons for anyone interested.

Hi Corony:

We already have a coupon but our friends who are travelling with us are interested in getting a coupon as well for our April 30 cruise on Legend. Will email you if coupons is still available?.
