First river cruise
April
Pros: Staff very pleasant, helpful, and remembered you and your special needs. Good selection of excursions at each port.
Cons: Cruising at night which could not be helped.
Recommended: Yes
Enjoyed sitting on top deck during what day light cruising time we had to enjoy viewing the landscape . Local guides did a nice job on the excursions.

This cruise was great! We met lots of other passengers and had fun with all of them. The food was amazing and the staff was perfect, always smiling and asking what they could do to help. We will definitely cruise with Ama again!

Amastella
July
Pros: The people, our tour guide one day was Fredericka and she was wonderful as was another one from Atlanta, Georgia.
Cons: The guide we had in Riquewihr spoke way too fast and intermittently in French. Not sure if she realized she was doing it. Also two men said their wives were not on the bus and she took off anyway. Fortunately we passed them on the street and the bus picked them up.
Recommended: Yes
We had a wonderful vacation on the Rhine River on the Amastella. The ship was beautiful, the staff was amazing, the food was great and the excursions were top-notch.

Ama Stella
September
Pros: Excellent service and care.
Cons: Did not like other ships docking so close to your stateroom that you cannot open your shade.
Recommended: Yes
Everything was wonderful. My biggest disappointment is the above stated comment. 5 out 7 nights or mornings, I could not open my shade. That was annoying. Perhaps I was on the wrong side of the ship.
