Thoughts on AMA French rivercruise

July

Pros: Great staff, beautiful ship and crew, excellent food, Caroline our cruise director was superb

Cons: Shore excursions required lengthy bus rides, a lot of walking

Recommended: No

We spent a lot of time on busses. On several excursions after lengthy bus rides we only had enough time for tour and then back on bus. It would have been nice to have time to do more exploring or just having lunch at a sidewalk cafe.

GREAT vacation

August

Pros: Ship, crew, food, tours, ambiance, passengers

Cons: Only 3 nights of actual entertainment

Recommended: Yes

This was my second AMA river cruise. The crew both times was wonderful - warm, friendly, welcoming, and always looking for ways to make you more comfortable. The passengers who choose AMA seem to also be very predictable - down to earth, friendly, real people. The tours were all fun and they make everything accessible for all abilities- "gentle" walkers, hikers, cyclists. Food was great and they can alter your menu for any issue you might have.

April

Cons: Absolutely none

Recommended: Yes

The staff is so friendly and attentive to every detail.

Exceeded Expectations!

June

Pros: Staff was amazing! Food was fantastic! Excursions were meaningful! The logistics and ship were wonderful!!

Cons: None!

Recommended: Yes

This was the first river cruise for our group of 8 friends (four couples). The whole experience far exceeded our expectations. The planning, logistics, cabins/staterooms, food, drinks, staff, countryside, excursions, activities, and every single detail were all amazing! We would highly recommend this and we are grateful we were able to experience it!

Wonderfules

June

Pros: the staff was so helpful and friendly, I loved that they had a baker on the ship. The bread and pastries were sooo good

Cons: we were at the back of the ship and the engine noise was a little bothersome. There were several ports that we did not get to enjoy because all the shops were closed for the holiday

Recommended: Yes

I can't imagine that the food could be any better on a different cruise line. It was so relaxing we enjoyed getting to know the staff that took such good care of us.

Wonderful Experience

June

Pros: Great Staff and Cruise Director

Cons: Top Deck mostly closed for low bridges

Recommended: Yes

The AmaDante team were excellent. Friendly, helpful, and they clearly noticed and took care of the details to keep things running smoothly and to take care of the guests. This was our first cruise of any kind, so we weren't sure what to expect. They did a great job of keeping us informed, keeping us comfortable and well fed, and they made the travel experience very easy. As a traveler that likes to DIY it, I did think the ratio of shore time to ship time was lower than I would like. We did the pre-cruise and post-cruise extensions, which made this better. But all things considered, I would recommend AmaWaterways anytime.

My first river cruise

April

Pros: Abel Ramos was amazing as the activities director. The captain was very involved with his crew as was Sonia the hotel manager.

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

I think the massage that I had was amazing, done by Vladimir, and that opportunity should have been promoted more than by just a flyer in the room. I was motivated by the reports that came back and would have probably would have done it again. I liked that there were different levels of walking groups so everyone seemed to be in their own comfort zone.

Loved the time on deck as we went down the Danube. The views at night leaving Budapest are etched in my memory forever. Our tour guide, Edward, was excellent. Ihotels were superior and great locations.

Recommended: Yes

Great adventure.

September

Pros: Fantastic crew and staff.

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

It was a fantastic trip. Our travel agent was so right about this trip. Fun and truly enjoyable. Raul, with AMA was very personable and professional. He really cared about us. The on board bakery was amazing. Wait staff was excellant. So many people working to ensure we had the best experience possible. The ports were interesting but by the second church and castle, I was done. I would have preferred a little variety of venues. Perhaps a beer brewery, chocolate factory and or bakery. Some of the local fair. Overall it was a wonderful trip. Thank you to all of the crew and staff.
