Not the best

September

Pros: Great crew. Nice ship. Perfectly clean.

Cons: Food and beverage average at best. Limited food choices. Few wine options. No free time on excursions.

Recommended: No

Guides were good for the most part. Most trips were just “walk around” with no time to visit museums, etc. Menus limited. Only two extra options each night excluding basics “always available” salmon, steak, chicken breast. Not for travelers who want to experience a location.

Great river cruise

December

Pros: Friendly and effective staff, great excursions, clean

Cons: Tips not included, Drinks only sometimes included, no coffee machine in room, no self-laundry

Recommended: Yes

Great experience overall. Great staff, ship, and excursions. Be aware that tips are not included, which made things awkward on the last day since individual tips were encouraged. The lowest deck is partially submerged so would not recommend. State rooms without French or balcony doors have only very small windows. Christmas markets in Eastern Europe are no major destination.

Danube - Prague to Budapest

March

Pros: Too many to list, Prague is fascinating and beautiful, the ship was casually luxurious, all the stops and excursions were terrific, staff was friendly and eager to please, etc.

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

See Pros above … enjoyed the cuisine (locally and on the ship), enjoyed all excursion options (walking, hiking, & biking), we upgraded our room to have slightly more room and it was worth the slight extra cost, beautiful views, amazing vacation!

Ama Waterways Danube Cruise

September

Pros: Cruise Manager, Ship staff, hygiene, safety, meals, staff services, shore excursions, tour guides, luxury

Cons: Only one: it was difficult to find small change for tipping tour guides due to currency shortages in eastern Europe.

Recommended: Yes

Ama Waterways delivers a superb river cruise experience. Every aspect of the cruise was carefully planned and organized and the ship's staff were highly skilled and extremely accommodating. All staff wore masks 100% of the time they were in areas accessible to passengers. The Cruise Manager was exceptional in her organization, knowledge and relationships with guests.
