Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on AmaVerde

This was our 8th river cruise however the only three were in France on Uniworld and because the other cruises involved small ships there isn’t a good comparison (the Viking Vietnam was outstanding). We chose this because we had never been in Bulgaria or Romania and like wine! Except for Hungary our earlier experiences were in Yugoslavia in the 70’s so nice to see what had changed. Other ...

Great crew 4 star ship

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We chose this short cruise as a taster for river cruising having spent many outstanding holidays on ocean cruises. The crew were excellent. However, the Scenic Ruby built in 2009 and updated in 2019 is at best a 4 star ship. The decor is a matter of personal taste, so cannot objectively be criticised, however our panorama suite at £1,500 per night... was a huge disappointment. No amount of ...

Loved the ship and locations, didn't like the lack of care for people being sick

We chose this cruise as it would take us to places we have not been too, or places we would have never gone too. The scenery from the ship was mostly farmland and forest, but once on land there were many wonderful things to see. Food was very good, and the portions were smaller so you never left the table stuffed. The wait staff was excellent. My only concern was by day 4 people were ...

Amazing Itinerary

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We choose this particular ship and date because of the itinerary and it did not disappoint. The ports and scenery while cruising were incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed every stop on our journey and highlights were the two “scenic cruising” afternoons. Having great weather for the duration was a bonus. The ship was very clean and well laid out. We ate most meals in the Aqua Vit Terrace ...

Amazing views along the Danube, too much downtime and horrible dining arrangements

This was our first-ever river cruise experience. We did a lot of research and watched a lot of videos about the experience so we felt pretty well prepared for the trip. What we found is most people's pros/cons experiences were pretty consistent with ours. Knowing what we know now we also would have planned our trip differently. I'll explain. This journey started in Budapest with one night ...

Lots to do but too exhausting

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

I wanted to see Budapest and Vienna but I ended up enjoying the smaller cities along the way. our ship, which was supposed to be a year old was swapped for a ship that was over 10 years old. We were stranded on shore two times because of problems with the ship. I did not know how exhausting the touring would be, especially in 90 degree heat. Those days we were not allowed on the ship I might ...

Not quite the hype

Not quite what they sell. The upgrade to the full slider window for an extra $1500 (base for a solo fee was $6000) for 7 nights was pretty much worthless. For 5 nights we were parked 3 deep with other ships, so you could not keep your curtain open unless you wanted the other boat to see you. One night we left at midnight... you could see the river edge then... but, we were asleep. The first ...

Our suite was beautiful ! We had the royal suite. Our butlers were the best I have ever had. The crew was fun and so nice. However...... I was absolutely digusted by the food It was like eating in a cafeteria. Poor quality. My son got food poisoning and was ill for 5 days of the 7. No one cared or said sorry or looked into this. There were 7 other people who also had ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

The Romantic Danube was the name of the cruise, that's the 1st reason we decided to take this cruise. Then the ports of call were the second reason. We were a little disappointed that a bus ride for all excursions was necessary to see the ports. We had envision getting off the ship and walk into town or city.. The worst was the Strassburg tour. A 9.5 hour excursion turned into 15 hours!! On ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

The staff was great. The food was great. The tours were great. The room was good except for the temperature being either freezing or burning alive hot and water pooling on the balcony (no drain hole on edge). Unfortunately 5 out of 6 in our group contracted Covid19. Looking back there was lots of people coughing and talk about a lot of people having chest congestion. Needless to say this put a ...
