wow... a very outstanding cruise experience!

[ItalianGuest]

Just back from Journey... what a wonderful experience!!!:)

 

The ship was very beautiful (especially the inner design), in a very good shape, and her crew was amazing:rolleyes:... probably the best I have ever met!

 

Cuisine was excellent, also for my Italian palate!

I had wonderful dinners in all her 3 restaurants, aside from a little negative experience at Aqualina ( Gnocchi and Osso buco were all but Gnocchi and Osso buco...:( ).

 

Ports were wonderful too, even if the weather was a bit bad. You all already know that Rome,Sorrento,Corfù,Split and Venice are awesome but, believe me, also the less-known Kotor was enchanting.

 

So, for those who are undecided if try AZAMARA CRUISES or not, let me say please, make a favour to yourselves, book a cruise immediately!!!

Hi,

 

I had ESPRESSO ( single, not bouble ) and It was very good. Sure, It wasn't as good as an authentic Italian espresso...;)

Do you have to pay for the espresso/ cappuccino?

Do you have to pay for the espresso/ cappuccino?

 

 

The espresso was gratis:) in all 3 restaurants. As for cappuccino, sorry, I don't know. But I can say you that several kinds of special coffee ( with liquor and creams ) were available every evening for a little fee.

Hope It helps...

Good evening!

 

Nice to hear your apprecciaton about Azamara Journey.

I wish you to take another cruise on her as soon as possible!!! :)

 

However I have to say you that, maybe due to my spare English, you didn't understand that, unfortunately, my experience at Aqualina wasn't good...:(

 

As for everything else, I agree, all was outstanding and amazing!

Our only real negative about the food was the faux ossobuco in Aqualina, a slap in the face to anyone who knows and loves the Italian table. As I wrote in an earlier post, what the Aqualina menu listed as ossobuco, was not even a shirt-tail relative of the real thing. If the Aqualina chefs want to retain their version, that's OK, but call it anything but ossobuco.

Many thanks Host Andy!
