Looks a beautiful ship and that adults only area looked amazing. Plenty of places to relax. 😁😁

[@cresTXTreme]

What a lovely tour that was. Spacious interior with perfect ambient lighting and some good food. What a place to be.😇

[@ALifeintheParks]

Thank you so much, she was such a great ship ☺️

[@DaJuan94]

Wow so amazing cruise ship tour my friend, thank you for taking us along!

[@ALifeintheParks]

Many thanks for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it ☺️

[@cruisingandexploring]

Great tour and video! We loved our cruise on Azura earlier in the year, nice to see some of the familiar friendly faces of the staff that served us so well! 😊🛳

[@ALifeintheParks]

The crew were so helpful and attentive and really made the cruise such a great experience. I did feel bad as sometimes they looked exhausted. Many thanks for watching and commenting ☺️

[@RipRideVlogIt]

That is a lot of sunbeds always good to not have to fight for one! Ooh your breakfast looked good but shame it’s a small buffet area. The atrium looks very pretty and grand 🤩 Brodie’s looks like a winner! Fab ship tour! Thanks for sharing it was interesting to see a p&o ship we are considering them if we enjoy our first cruise! Hope you’re having a great week so far 💙✨

[@ALifeintheParks]

Brodie’s was such a madhouse every single night! It was so much fun. After watching your recent videos I think that cruising will blow you both away. You seem to enjoy the food and entertainment which are both great. This was a cheap week away on an older P&O ship but I’m on Iona in a few weeks so I’ll be able to show how their very modern ships compare.

fantastic tour, you were our private guide throughout all the decks. appreciate the tips along the way! thanks for sharing ✨

[@ALifeintheParks]

Many thanks for watching, this is such a great ship ☺️

[@AlphaTraveler1]

What a beautiful ship. It is amazing how large this ship is. LIKE 19. 👍👍👍

[@ALifeintheParks]

She’s definitely a beautiful ship and bizarrely this is midsized compared to the behemoths of today! Many thanks for watching ☺️

[@earsandideas7266]

The classic look of Azura looks great. The spaces look well thought out and it doesn't look like you are seated on top of each other (which I found on the new Disney Wish). Shame the buffet was so busy as the food looks lovely. I hope you had a great cruise.

[@ALifeintheParks]

I do get the feeling some of the newer ships are really cramming people in on the outside decks. It’s not for me. Yes, we had a great time on this cruise. Many thanks for watching ☺️

It's So Amazing how Large these ships are and with So many places and things to do!!! Especially for all ages!!! I'd Definitely love the Pizza Pool area myself as I love quick Italian food! Lol Seriously Loved that dude cheering his horse on at the races!!! 😅 Another Excellent tour and Awesome info, My Friend!!! Thanks a bunch and hope all is well!!! 😁🤙👊

[@ALifeintheParks]

There’s so much to do and if you don’t want to see your kids for a few hours then it’s perfect for that! He was so into that race, he won $10!! I thought it was as going to be a lot more than that. Many thanks for watching, it’s all good here and I hope that they are with you too?

[@chrispotter76potter85]

Excellent reviews, I'm going on the azura next summer . My 1st cruise with 8 family members . Looks great .

[@ALifeintheParks]

She’s a great size so that there’s lots of places to spend time with your family but also chilled out areas if you need it. Where will you be sailing to?

[@JohnSAitken]

You forgot to mention the ice cream bar. The Buffet is the only place I had my meals as I didn’t indulge in the dressing up malarkey. Never incurred queuing in the buffet, I was one of the first every day, breakfast and dinner, and evening. The buffet opens at 7am all the food at this time is perfect.

[@ALifeintheParks]

Many thanks for the tips and for watching the video.

@@ALifeintheParks Thanks.

[@jameskolar9655]

Thank you. I’m booked in for Late January next year. Touring the Canary Islands. I’m just hoping that I’m going to enjoy it. Should I take a Tux for more formal dining? What do you think?

[@ALifeintheParks]

If you have a tuxedo then by all means bring it with you but don’t feel the need to hire one as I know some people do, Otherwise a dark suit and tie is more than adequate. I hope that you enjoy it too, it’s a great experience.

[@photodom2000]

Thanks for this walkthrough. My wife and I are traveling on the Azura in late August leaving Valletta and cruising to Split, Dubrovnik, Corfu, and Taranto. We cruised on Cunard Queen Elizabeth last year and although the Aura looks like a somewhat larger ship, the ambiance etc. seemed much the same. What I didn't like about QE was that because the ship was only around half full, it lacked any real atmosphere. There was also nothing special about theme nights, no music in the dining rooms or any other attempt at entertainment other than the usual shows and bands playing. The public areas were also very cold as the a/c was too strong. The Azura looks a little more lively and hopefully where will be a better sense of occasion on it. This will be our 6th cruise so your walkthrough has given us a really good idea of the best spots on the ship. Thanks. Just wondered where did you cruise to?

[@ALifeintheParks]

I’ve not sailed on Cunard yet but I would expect your Azura trip to be more energetic, especially in Brodies and at the pool bar areas. I think that you will enjoy Celebration Night with the free bubbly adding to the evening. Sounds like you have a wonderful itinerary. Ours went to the Canaries and Madeira, the latter being the main reason for this cruise. Many thanks for watching.

[@joeblake9693]

I’m on this same cruise!

Loved the tour! Looks super nice. 🛳️ ❤Jenn

[@ALifeintheParks]

Many thanks, she’s such a great ship!

[@freddieholland6]

Are you still on the ship? Would love a longer tour of the gym and the spa area!

[@ALifeintheParks]

I wish I was but unfortunately I’m now back at home.

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Fantastic ship tour!! This ship looks fantastic. That afternoon tea looks INCREDIBLE. I would love that so much. Wow, nice to see people won't be fighting for sunbeams on this ship haha! Always fun to see the live entertainment on the pool deck, love the 80s classics haha! I would love to try that Jude's ice cream hehe. The Glass House looks like a nice specialty dining spot. Nice they had the best beer on the ship hehe! Caviar in the Blue Bar sounds so fancy haha! I've never had Indian food before so I would love to try the Indian restaurant. So nice they went to the other restaurant to get your beer, wow! Amazing service. Always love seeing the food in the Main Dining room, and even better when the food is great! Fantastic tour and tips!! :) Thanks for sharing with us!

[@ALifeintheParks]

Many thanks for watching Meg, it was such a great trip and there was so much to do (and eat) on this trip 😂

[@ThemeParkBazza]

Great ship tour, you had me at deck 18...bar . What was the charge for the adult only area ?

[@ALifeintheParks]

The Retreat costs £20 on a sea day and £12 on a port day and you do get some food too.

[@jasoncursley4686]

Great video Steve! Do you find being on a cruise restricting? I think I would get bored and go stir crazy after a couple of days.

[@ALifeintheParks]

Thanks Jason. Cruise ships aren’t restricting as you get off most days and explore somewhere new and there are so many different bars and restaurants in the evenings that you’re too busy to be bored 😂

[@billwheeler3265]

Its only good if you like to enjoy yourself. If not got a hotel and be bored shitless!!!

[@cruisingwiththe4bs]

Great tour as always. I am a bit partial to game of croquet even got Ernest playing for a bit on arvia. The decks do look dated and what’s going on with green flooring on Azura and Ventura!! 💯 agree on comments on the buffet. Love the glass house and atrium looks more modern than Ventura.

[@ALifeintheParks]

When they added more cabin decks they should have made changes to the communal areas. Everywhere was just so busy and the buffet really couldn’t cope. That green flooring is very is it’s time. I need to play more croquet 😂 Many thanks for watching.

[@billwheeler3265]

Its not dated, nice ship, get a grip !!!@@ALifeintheParks

[@MargaretShepherd-t7k]

Thank you enjoyed the video.

[@ALifeintheParks]

@@MargaretShepherd-t7k It’s my pleasure, I’m very pleased to hear that. Thanks for taking the time to comment too.

[@harryw1231]

Great tour! Can you access the front of the ship on Deck 16 without paying to go into the retreat?

[@ALifeintheParks]

You can go there and walk around but it’s not somewhere you can linger too long without paying.

[@ocampowhel]

Its so very nice, looks beautiful place, My husband worked on that ship, 😊

[@ALifeintheParks]

Wow! That’s so awesome, which was his role onboard?

[@garethmanka9919]

Great video! Is there a dress code for the bars and restaurants?

[@ALifeintheParks]

Only on formal nights which is a really just a suit and tie for the gents and a dress for the ladies. If you want to wear more casual clothing then head to the buffet and the outside bars. The rest of the time is all really relaxed.

I totally agree, I’ve had a couple of great cruises on Princess without any issues. You do get what you pay for.
