Q: We are considering a Japan/ China/ Far East cruise on Azamara Quest in early 2009 .Has anyone any experience of the ship? We have travelled with the "parent Co." Celebrity, usually in a Sky suite, but after an Austalia /New Zealand cruise on Mercury earlier this year, felt their standards were not as high as they once were. Does anyone have any direct comparison experience?Many thanks, Cynthia Setter.

Hello Cynthia, I am a lover of Azamara. Having been on all but the Mercury with Celebrity and enjoying them for many years I have converted to Azamara and currently have two cruises booked with them, one on each ship. Judging from our previous correspondence re. you know what, I am sure this is the ship and company for you. Trust me. ..... regards Neil

Oh Neil, I would trust you with my life!!!!Many thanks for your help; now I just have to persuade Mike that we can do an Azamara cruise next year in addition to the 2 we (OK, more accurately, I!) have already booked on Cunard. You may well hear the pained yelping from up there in S'oton!Cynthia.

I don't think you can really equate the Mercury, Celebrity's oldest ship, with Azamara Quest, a boutique, newly refurbished 5+* ship. Recent reviews of the Quest rave about the quality and variety of the food. Mercury does not even have an alternative restaurant whereas on the tiny Azamara there are two to choose between. In a Sky Suite you will also have the attention of the Head Butler, in addition to the usual Butler and stateroom attendent. With 3 people waiting on your every need you can't go wrong!
