HAL vs. Azamara may not be a fair comparison in all regards, but it definitely is regarding the OP's question where they are considering both lines for similar cruises in Asia. And I've been pricing HAL itineraries which are not the least bit discounted in comparison to previous years. It may be different in commodity markets like Alaska or the Caribbean (or even transatlantics, which have a lot more passenger capacity than they used to), but for high-demand, low-supply itineraries the prices are staying high on HAL.
