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

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

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.

Christmas Markets Cruise
December
Pros: Great ship, great cruise director, great walking tours.
Cons: None
Recommended: Yes
The cruise exceeded my expectations. The ship was beautiful, the crew were attentive and gracious, the cruise director was amazing, and the sights were wonderful. All the city tours were informative and most of the guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. The pace was good, and it was a lot of fun. The weather was a bit cold but not unexpected for central Europe in December. I was impressed how concerned the ship/crew was with sanitation. They had hand sanitizer and hot towels to greet us on our return from shore excursions. Additionally, they had hand sanitizer available before we entered the dining rooms. This was admirable, given the stories of many ships in recent years that have had many sick cruisers aboard! We had a wonderful time, met some new friends, and will definitely consider another cruise with Amawaterways in the future.
