The cruise was lovely overall and we will most likely do a second cruise with Ama.  I do want to point out a few things that the majority of the passengers on our cruise found very annoying! We never got a good description of what the excursions would include.  It was very difficult to decide which outing to take with such limited information.  For example:  1. On Sept. 14, we were docked in ...

If you like cocktail parties you will like a river cruise as there are endless opportunities to talk about yourself! Every meal starts with "Where are you from?" "Is this your first cruise?" followed quickly by questions about your past work, life, children etc. We started out with two days in Amsterdam and loved the city. Boarded and were royally welcomed by the crew and the TERRIFIC cruise ...

Not really up to AMA's standards

I did the Rhine/Christmas markets cruise over Christmas 2017. This was my second AMA cruise and I was a bit disappointed. First, the staff was, for the most part, very good. It was clear they all had a touch of "senior-itis", this being their last cruise of the season and they were all going home soon. Still the bar staff was friendly and attentive. The restaurant staff seemed to be in a ...

I chose this cruise line mostly because of the reviews I had read here and the cruise center I went to for information said they were excellent. The first step onto the ship I knew it wasn't for me. I didn't feel the warmth, the welcome or the excitement I had experienced on the ocean cruises. That being said we did put down a deposit for another cruise with Amawaterways within the next ...

Our second cruise on Ama Waterways. We were excited that we were sailing on a relatively new ship, as our last one, the AmaBella has been retired. I would liked to have given the cruise a "5" as most aspects of the cruise was outstanding. HOWEVER, the new ship has some deficiencies that unless corrected we will not sail on it again. It seems in an effort to have more cabins, the company ...

First ever river cruise, so based on reviews we chose AMA. The ship was very nice and checkin was very easy. We were surprised at age of clientele quite geriatric, we are in mid 60's but quite active. The cruise had some challenges we were delayed through no fault of AMA because of an accident which put us about 3 days behind on a 14 day cruise, we caught up about day 12. So for the first number ...

I was referred to this site by Trip Advisor to write a review. On Trip Advisor I am known as "Beaune." I generally agree with the editor's extensive review of the AmaPrima which sailed up the Danube to Vilshofen. But I have two serious gripes to pass along. First, I paid over 10,000 dollars for a 7-day cruise. Compared to ocean cruises, such as Silversea or Oceana, that is a bit expensive. I spent ...

My husband and I along with another couple took an AMA Waterways extended Danube cruise this fall, which started far from the Danube in Istanbul and ended somewhat past the Danube in Prague. There were 14 actual days on the ship with an almost total turnover of passengers and some crew in Budapest. There were many highlights -- several on the land extensions. Istanbul and Prague are both bucket ...
