2017 April Cruise - Miami to Barcelona on Azamara Quest

Our Ship - The Azamara Quest

Posted 2017-05-01

The Quest and her sister ship, the Journey are the two ships of the Azamara line, a subsidiary of the Celebrity cruise line. The Quest and the Journey are small by today's cruise ship standards, but that small size seemed to make the Quest more comfortable and friendly than bigger ships we have been on.


Bow and stern views of the Quest. The bow view shows the bridge, with windows slanted
inward at the bottom. The bridge cannot be seen from any accessible location on the ship.


In Gibraltar we were docked alongside the Majestic Princess, which
gave a chance to compare size via a photo from the top of the rock.

For comparison, following is a table of statistics for the Quest, the Majestic Princess
and the Harmony of the Seas, copied from websites TravelWeekly and Cruise Critic

Deck 10 forward has a sun deck area with a shuffle board. Glass wind screeens protect sun bathers from the breeze.


Deck 9 has a swimming pool, hot tubs, bar, patio lunch bar, and other facilities not photographed.


Deck 9 aft has the Windows Café, where we ate most of our meals. The Sunset Bar, on the aft veranda, can also be used for meals, but we found the weather a bit cool for that. The ship is not huge, but the corridor on our deck 6 does not look all that short.

Deck 5 has the theate in the bow, Discoveries Restaurant in the stern, and the Mosaic Café and Casino Bar midships, all one deck below us. Despite all the time at sea, we neglected to photograph all areas of the ship.
