This is our first river cruise. We had done the inside passage to Alaska from Vancouver. We boarded the cruise in Amsterdam and disembarked in Budapest. Overall, we enjoyed the cruise. The restaurant staff were absolutely great. They always served us in friendly manner, attended to our needs and made us feel very welcome. I will give 110% for their service and friendliness. The cruise was good except for occasional bumps at the locks. Some of my friends were in a cabins at the back of the ship and experienced engine noise. Forget about watching TV, all in foreign language except for a new channel (skynews) which was in English. Very disappointing TV and reception. There are limited books on board to read and I read 3 of them. There are some board games, scrabble, cards etc which we played while sailing. The other negative of the cruise is the options excursions. They are expensive. We mamaged to do many of them at fraction of the cost on our own. The did bring a birthday cake for my wife on her birthday, very nice jesture. Read Less

Wanted to see specific towns on river rhine and we were not dissapointed The staff and the food was absolutely marvellous . I dont usually write reviews but this is a way of apology to all of amadeus Briliant crew for the non stop complaints of some of the passengers ranging from petty comments about the food to blagging some extra drinks just to keep them quiet .One person on the first day even said she paid more for her cabin than her friend the ship doesnt need to recompense anyone if someone got a better deal I felt ashamed to be English Rant over Once again all of you on that ship were fantastic and i would recommend anyone to try amadeus river cruises All the towns visited including Speyer Rudesheim Mannheim Koblenz Cologne were very easy access to get off the ship and quality time in the towns Also the walking tours of Speyer and Cologne were very informative...My next trip is going to be the Danube and i wont hesitate to check out Amadeus first in the hope of meeting up with the same staff Read Less
