Taste of Bordeaux
October
Pros: Great itinerary. Very good and knowledgeable local guides. Immaculate ship. Well organized every day with guests coming and going on different day tours.
Cons: Most of the meals were very good, but as seafood eaters, we were disappointed in the daily fish dinners offered. They were not very flavorful and grilled fish was never an option. The meat dishes, however, were very good. All staff members were polite and efficient, but some front desk and dining room servers were not as friendly as we have experienced on our 3 other Ama cruises.
Recommended: Yes
We really like that Ama offers up to 3 different activities everyday in ports, and especially that they are included in the price of the trip.

Good For First River Cruise
October
Pros: Friendly staff, good staff-to-guest ratio, nice ship, excellent basic service.
Cons: Food portions small and selection was limited.
Recommended: Yes
Had a couple of maintenance issues that took a couple of days to resolve, but otherwise was good service. Food selection not best for me (allergy issue), so many dishes needed to be "altered". Did not see any of the evening entertainment, but variety seemed good.

What a Way to Go!
July
Pros: Great attention to passengers by staff
Cons: none
Recommended: Yes
Have sailed with Ama on several occasions. Each time we notice small but significant upgrades. This time, tighter security aboard ship, a happy hour called Sip n Sail, and highlighted menu items such as seafood of the region

Bordeaux Wine tour
May
Pros: Staff, comfort, caring.
Cons: Food just missed the mark. Beautiful presentation, complex, but some pairings of food did not work.
Recommended: Yes
Our first cruise ever. Staff was very accommodating and helpful. On board, I had no trouble getting around despite my mobility issues. Land based trips also worked out with some accommodations made for me to use my scooter by choosing sites with only a few stairs that I could handle with my poles, if necessary. Overall, it was a good introduction to cruising and we will plan another cruise, perhaps on the Douro River.
