This was a "Bucket List" cruise for us! My husband and I are 65 and Four Star Mariners with Holland America. I did a lot of reading about the Amazon, history and geography, prior to our departure and knew what to expect. I couldn't find many Amazon Reviews on CC, so my report is lengthy and hopefully helpful to future Amazon cruisers!

We used a Stay, Park and Fly Package with Spring Hill Suites in Las Vegas, leaving our car in their garage for 26 days. We took one suitcase and one carryon each. In Fort Lauderdale we stayed at Spring Hill Suites in Dania Beach. The Hotel Shuttle pick up at the Fort Lauderdale Airport was prompt and our room was very nice. This property has received some less than perfect reviews, but we had no complaints. We were given an upgraded room. After breakfast (included) embarkation day a complimentary large bus transported us to the cruise terminal.

We took some Brazilian Reals with us, but it wasn't necessary. The Front Desk had local currency. At each port, the ship provided us with a currency converter card. US Dollars were accepted everywhere.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Verandah Ocean-View Stateroom

Cabin A

Verandah stateroom #153 was quiet and comfortable. Midship location meant smooth sailing. The closet space was ample, but there was only one electrical outlet.

We enjoyed the verandah, but the furnishings in the room were tired and scuffed. My husband kept hitting his head on the wall mounted lamp.

The bathroom was elegant, and the bathtub appreciated. I would book this stateroom again!
