How’s the bread basket?

[AllisonJames]

I just read someone’s comments on Seabourn’s breadsticks (which we agree are the best we’ve ever had) and it reminded me of a shortcoming on our Journey cruise last year — the bread basket at dinner was extremely underwhelming...my husband loves bread so this was a disappointment. The bread was small thin slices kind of a little like wonder bread. No dinner rolls, no breadsticks, no selection of different kinds of breads like on other lines. I know someone will say we should have logged a complaint but honestly we just laughed and wondered if the “wonder” bread was the usual bread offering or if there was some kind of problem that cruise — It was there every night! Can anyone provide any insight and also let us know if there’s been improvement. All the other food was good!

I sailed on the Journey in May. There was a much larger variety of breads than you described, with 3-4 choices per night and breadsticks. However, I too love good bread and was a little disappointed with the quality. The bread is my least favorite thing about Azamara. Sorry I don’t have better news to report!

Have spent more than a year on Azamara ships and have never seen anything resembling Wonder bread in any dining venue.

I have no idea what wonder bread is but Azamaras bread is certainly not wonderful.

Never had a bread basket with just white sliced bread on Azamara. A couple of weeks ago on Quest the bread basket had sticks, bread buns & baguette slices. In the speciality restaurants the bread basket had a wide variety of bread including focaccia with pesto in it, lovely dark brown slices, various bread buns. There was a good selection of bread in Windows (buffet) too.

That’s a little disappointing [emoji20]. My husband and I are both bread lovers. My husband calls Wonderbread and the like “sponge bread,” because of the consistency and taste!

For me the bread served with dinner in the MDR is fine. A selection of bread and rolls and bread sticks. Different selection in the Specialty restaurant including focaccia. I really like the warm bread they serve at The Patio. Personally I try to avoid filling up on too much bread anyway.

We have always had a good selection of breads in the MDR. We have never had less than a choice of three.

The advisor is particularly fond of the brown malt bread which comes is a mini rectangular loaf shape. It's reminiscent of a malt bread you can only get in Ireland called 'Veda'.

Our last Az cruise was 18 nights and I avoided bread for the first seven days then my willpower gave up :evilsmile:

I would describe the bread basket in the MDR as adequate. But that's because when I first started sailing Azamara it was sensational and far superior to what is now being served in the specialities. A friend loved the raisin bread so much she requested it every morning at breakfast. And of course Azamara being Azamara they found her some every day.

 

On a more positive note I thought the food in the MDR last month on Quest was significantly better than on my cruise on Journey in October

I agree with the above, in the earlier days of Azamara the bread was wonderful, sadly no more, adequate is a good description now.

In our two cruises (2017 and 2018) the bread basket was disappointing. Which was good for me, actually, because I didn't need those calories. :) I was happy to not be missing out on anything good.

Absolutely the best breadsticks ever! They gained me 2 kilos of weight earlier this year [emoji50]🤣
