We booked Amawaterways Amalegro based on reviews and timing. Our schedule dictated we travel in April and this cruise fit our timeline perfectly. We read the itinerary and included tours and amenities, and decided this was the trip for us. From the moment we arrived at the airport in Budapest until the time we departed in Prague, there was not a detail that was neglected. The ship was beautiful, stateroom was larger and brighter than it appeared in the brochures, and everyone from the Captain to our cabin stewardess, could not have been more accommodating or caring. It seemed like no request was a problem, and our needs were anticipated before we even had to ask. I am a vegetarian but eat some seafood, and they always made special arrangements for my meals. The wines with dinner were wonderful and generously poured. One night I didn't particularly like the white wine and our waiter noticed and asked if there was a problem. I had said nothing, but when asked stated I thought it was a little acidic. Well immediately it was taken away and another fine wine was delivered in it's place and I was told from now on, please tell them if there is ANYTHING not right. The included tours far exceeded what was described in the brochures. The buses were Mercedes and top of the line. There was always a local tour guide with us on the bus to provide running commentary about the history of the port of call. I had thought that the special tour options were all at an extra charge, but to my delight even optional tour into Salzburg was included at no charge. Even a night at a local pub in Vienna was provided free of charge with entertainment and generous wine and beer. It was not even advertised in the brochures online or in print.

Upon returning to the ship at the end of a day of tours, there was always a surprise waiting from warm hand towels, specialty drinks of the day, to sumptuous snacks.

It was advertised there would always be cookies and tea or coffee available at all times, but every day there was a lovely buffet both in the afternoon and late evening full of soups, sandwiches, cheeses, fruits and all types of desserts.

Cabin Review

Stateroom with French Balcony

Cabin A

We had a type A cabin with French balconies. The storage was tight but workable. More spacious than we had expected with an upholstered easy chair and a built in desk with chair. The bathroom was compact but comfortable. The only thing we did not like was lack of a real headboard, and comforters rather than sheets.
