While it ’ s on the larger side of the small-ship spectrum — holding 690 passengers — the Azamara Quest is still a boutique experience . It ’ s nearly all-inclusive with complimentary wine , beer , spirits , soft drinks , hot beverages and gratuities . One of many culinary highlights is the chef ’ s table at Prime C steakhouse ( extra cost ), which features multiple courses with perfectly paired wines . For a bit extra , you can book a massage or treatment at the onboard spa . AMA members receive up to $ 200 USD / stateroom onboard credit on select sailings .
