Spotless and outstanding service
November
Pros: Small size and staff:guest ratio makes for intimate service
Cons: Cabin placement relative to engine noise
Recommended: Yes
Lovely trip. Ship is tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, and service is outstanding. This trip I was on the second deck, well toward the stern, compared to the third deck on my previous cruises. I did note more engine noise and vibration but it wasn't an issue. Actually, it was pretty soothing. And there was no noticeable noise from the deck above. My only issue is, as a solo traveler, waivers and extras are hit and miss, even for a repeat customer. My travel advisor was able to pursue an upgrade but still, there were several empty cabins on this sailing so the line was a little stingy as far as I'm concerned.

Danube cruise delight
September
Pros: Nice clean small vessel with a great staff , great food and lots of activities
Cons: Tiny swimming pool on top deck. Some tour guides were a lot better than others
Recommended: Yes
My wife and I are retired and in our late 60's and we had a great week long river cruise on the Danube. The ship is small enough to become quickly acquainted with staff and other passengers. there was a nice assortment of daily activities to be as busy as you wanted to be or just sit back and relax. They tried to accommodate all levels of physical activity from gentle walkers, to hikers and bikers. All 3 meals each day had a good selection of items with new daily specials. We enjoyed the food and staff. The entertainment after dinner was good but not great. Rooms were small but clean and comfortable. Overall a great experience.

Legendary Danube Cruise
October
Pros: Loved the small group of 156 people on board the ship. Loved the fact that 90 of those people were on the pre 3 day excursion in Prague, so we met many people that were on our cruise before we started. Loved that the Cruise director spent the 3 days in prague with us. Loved everything about the cruise
Cons: None
Recommended: Yes
This was an unbelievable 10 days trip. Yes we had to change itinerary a bit due to low water on the Danube, but the changes made by the cruise director were great . Tough job to change itinerary on such short notice and still make the excursions perfect. We probably will never go back to a large ship again after doing this cruise. It's very personable. You get to know pretty much every staff member on the ship on a personal basis. Ama was a great company to do the cruise with also and we probably will not even try one of the others when this was already so great. Dejan was such a great cruise director. We would love to do another cruise with him. We already put down a deposit for our next cruise with Ama.
