Thanks Suzanne, We've done 2 Azamara cruises, the first in a window cabin and the second in a suite. The window cabin had enough room for us, but it is nice to have a balcony, The suite was nice, but the extra $1000.00 for a 14 day cruise is more than we would spend on the specialty restaurants and we don't need the butler, so we opted for a standard balcony cabin on the 2014 crossing to Nice. Is that the one you booked? We agree with your opinions on Azamara and we also missed the all inclusive which began on the cruise after we debarked. The all inclusive is for more like well drinks but upgrades such as Grey Goose will be only around $4.00. We also agree that the food & service was equal to or better than Regent. We special ordered steak tartar 3 times (in different restaurants) and it was wonderful. We're done with Regent unless they make some significant changes and Azamara is definitely going to be one of our main lines.
