Azamara: Barbados Boarding, Continent Suite, Tobago, Isle Royale and Life Onboard
Is a small ship the best way to see South America? This is our very first cruise with Azamara sailing from Barbados to Buenos Aires. We are kicking off a 22-day voyage on the #Azamara Quest to find out if "Premium" small ship cruising is worth the money compared to mega-ships. In Episode 1, we board our home for the next month, tour the Continent Suite, and put the "Small Ship Promise" to the test immediately. From walking right off the ship in #tobago (no tenders!) to exploring the haunting history of #isleroyale Devil's Island in French Guiana, we reveal exactly why easy access is a luxury. If you are planning a #southamerica cruise or deciding between Celebrity, Princess, and Azamara, this series is for you.

Thinking about an Azamara Quest cruise? We skipped the megaships to explore South America and found a better way to travel. Planning a trip to South America can be overwhelming, especially when you factor in the logistics of land travel versus the chaos of large cruise lines. In this episode, we share why we chose the Azamara Quest for our South American voyage and how small ship cruising changes the experience. We walk you through the ship layout, the specific perks of choosing a smaller vessel, and how it impacts your time in port. We also take you to our first stop in Tobago to show exactly why a smaller ship makes for a more relaxed and efficient day of exploration. If you are tired of the crowds on major cruise lines, this breakdown of our experience on the Azamara Quest might help you decide on your next booking. We cover the onboard atmosphere, the logistics of smaller ports, and the benefits of avoiding the typical megaship embarkation day stress.
