Azura

[Cyprus2sum]

Thinking of taking my first cruise as a taster on Azura Eastern Med for our Golden Wedding Anniversary.
Ideally wanted a Caribean Cruise. But it will be August and it’s Hurricane season
Therefore just to get a taste to see if we like cruising I’ve picked the Med Cruise, that way we can almost guarantee good weather leaving the Caribbean till the following January should we like it.
I’m looking at a Balcony, but unsure as to where on the ship would be best.
Ie near to amenities etc and not too near the noises.
Which deck do you people recommend? Drink package etc
Plus this is a fly cruise, will our luggage be taken care of from airport to ship?
As you can imagine, I have no idea where to start and relying on you good people to point me in the right direction with your expertise.
Thank you in advance

On your first cruise mid-ships would probably be best if only for the stability, our own choice on Azura was a SDL Balcony Cabin on ' D ' Deck.

ps ... hello & welcome

Welcome to the forum Cyprus2sum

Mid ships for a cabin is my recommendation, C or D deck.

Welcome.
As the previous comments, C deck are the largest but are probably all gone by now.
D deck superior cabins are larger but really anywhere is fine on Azura as long as you have cabins above and below.
Drinks package ? We don’t bother because drinks are reasonably priced.
Luggage?
You check it in at the airport.
Collect from carousel in Malta and then go to the P&O coach, it’s brilliantly organised.
Your bags are taken to your cabin.
Anything else, please ask.

Thanks for the info everyone, greatly appreciated

Agree with previous comments. C deck is our deck of choice,nice large balcony for sunbathing followed by D deck. We are always happy with a cabin by the aft stairs/ lift,very handy for the bar on deck 18 and the show lounge on 7. No noise. Whichever,enjoy and welcome.

Screwy, not forgetting the late buffet (could be six hours + before the next feed) hot chocolate and Horlicks before bed.

I’d not forgotten Ray, I’m just not allowed to go there.
