Great Experience Overall - But Not Perfect

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on AmaMagna

Overall we had a great experience on the Danube, but we had a couple of minor complaints that prevent me from calling it a five-star cruise. Staff - the staff were truly 6/5 stars, and would do everything in their capacity to make the trip as enjoyable as possible. The fitness instructor Angie was amazing as well. However, there was always at least one (sometimes up to 6-7) staff smoking in ...

The AmaMagna is a beautiful vessel and deserves the designation as flagship. The place has a special feeling and is warm and inviting. The excursions were plentiful but somewhat routine - more specialty outings would be welcome. The 4 restaurants were a great feature, seating and availability never an issue, Sadly, the cuisine overall was uninspired while imaginatively presented. It just lacked ...

We chose this cruise to spend a hassle-free week as a family, unpacking our bags once and experiencing 4 countries plus a taste of the Christmas markets. We also visited Prague and Munich on our own. We embarked in Budapest on Dec 29, disembarked in Vilshofen Jan 5. We have been on 2 ocean cruises (Caribbean and Alaska) and have 3 teenagers, so I was worried that river cruises have a ...

I should start this review out with a word regarding my rating. It would have to be OUTSTANDING for me to give a 5, so in most cases my "4" should be considered very good. Now to our trip: " Melodies of the Danube" (Wine themed cruise) Our cruise itinerary was slightly modified from the standard since it included 2 tours not generally available on the regular " Melodies of the Danube" ...

My first river cruise experience was pretty good, They include wines and beers at dinner. The wines are not all of good quality but they are not bad. They include a happy hour an one hour before dinner, but the bartenders don't know how to make drinks. They are very bad preparing drinks and they get upset if I return the drink. Better change for beer or wine before returning the drink. The gym is ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

Our Amex travel agent suggested AMA Waterways as the very best onboard service she had experienced among several major river cruise lines, and we went with her recommendation. She was not off base at all. The onboard experience on AMA is second to none. All staff and crew were attentive, extremely helpful, and clearly focused on making our onboard experience special. The Tour Manager, Peter ...

This was our first time on AmaWaterways, but our second river cruise. We did the Gems of Southeastern Europe which started in Budapest, Hungary, went through Croatia, Serbia, and Bulgaria, and ended in Bucharest, Romania. The ship was very nice, very well maintained and clean, with plenty of spots in the lounge to sit and relax. Our cabin was just enough room and laid out very well. The food was ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

The main disappointment on this first time riverboat was the service by waiters and wine sommeliers. This does not mean that on the AmaStella staff was not excellent and hard working, but I felt there were not enough personnel to serve us without being rushed or waiting for wine at dinner. It was not the experience expected for wine service since they only had to two serve 2 types of wine and ...
