I was on the Quest over Christmas and on the Pursuit in June for 17 nights. Everyday when I went to the Library, there were people in there reading or doing the puzzles. It is the one place where guests can go that is quiet and comfortable. How many bars are necessary on a ship? If drinking is that important to you, book your cruises on Carnival.

According to the article that I read, the library was completely gutted, including the beautiful painting on the ceiling. Makes me sick. Kathy

My feelings exactly! Kathy

I just read an article about the renovations being done to the Azamara Onward. The article stated that the beautiful library was removed and replaced with a bar. This is so sad. The libraries on the "R" class ships are one the main attractions on these ships. They're a beautiful place to go and relax and bring back the old days of cruising. I just can't believe that some corporate head made this very bad decision. I'm sailing on Azamara because their ships are unique and are a throwback to when cruising was an adventure. I definitely won't be sailing on the Onward. If Az intends to remove the libraries from their other ships, I won't be sailing on them either.
