We were on the Quest Panama Canal cruise in December in a mid-ship balcony cabin and loved every minute of it. We enjoyed the size of the ship, no lines, good food, excellent service, a wonderful, attentive butler, and best of all, very few children.
We are early diners and like a table for two, and were able to get our preferred table (and wait staff) every single night--we just had to ask.
We loved the small ship experience in every way and definitely intend to cruise with Azamara again.
