As my last post mentioned, I’m proud to announce, my visit to Azura went well, amazingly well, great trip down there and straight forward check in. The ship looked breathtaking as we approached, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but she is a big beauty (Much like myself)
Highlight for me was the Glass house, Ollie Smiths inspirational wine bar, superb ambience, great lighting and actually really well priced wine. Ollie does a special supper club, by secret invitation, if you’re a wanna be wine connoisseur , hang around here long enough and I’m sure you will get an invite!
The questions I got asked before I went, I did my very best to get answered for you:
1) How big are the port holes in the Ocean view staterooms? Approx 14Inches
2) Take a picture of the wedding ceremony room. This I will happily do as they are looking to get married on board next May. This has been taken on my colleagues camera so will follow shortly!
3) How big is the teenager’s area? Teen areas are quite big, held about 50 teens at anyone time. Loads of facilities, guitar hero, Pcs, Games consioles, activities
4) What Internet packages are available in board?
A 250 minute package of Internet time for use on board, anywhere in the world. When this package is purchased prior to your cruise, 30 minutes will be added free
A 100 minute package of Internet time for use on board, anywhere in the world. When this package is purchased prior to your cruise, 20 minutes will be added free
5) Find out if I will be claustrophobic with a pull down bed above my head. I wasn’t!!! the beds are visable, but once out against the wall during the day – wont cause too much of an obstruction, however I would recommend if finances will allow to look at the larger suites with sofa beds!!! Much more user friendly!
I was soooooo impressed with the food, a lot of people tend to judge by how well or not well a steak is cooked on board, but I thought Id try a different atct and went for the vegetarian option and to my relief it was infact the best vegetables Ive ever eaten – No kidding, I could go vege on that diet!
King Prawn cocktail served with treacle bread (Although – It just looked and tasted like wholemeal!)
Potato and Rosti vegetable Pan Haggerty served with Caramelised leeks and a red wine mushroom Ragout – OUTSTANDING – All served with broccoli & Dauphinoise potatoes which are possibly my favourite potato dish.
Dessert was warm dark chocolate and praline fondant with vanilla bean ice cream and a cappuccino anglaise…. How I didn’t pop Ill never know.
Finished of nicely with a wonderful coffe & hand made rose Turkish delights….. SUPERB.
In conclusion, well done P&O I had a wonderful time and it may be on my honeymoon list now!
