Amsterdam Russian Rhapsody Review

Here's a review of our Russian Rhapsody Cruise on the Amsterdam. It was an absolutely fabulous trip and I'm sure those of you scheduled for the Aug trip will have a wonderful time.

Our Background Just a brief overview of who we are. This trip was to celebrate our 25th anniversary. My husband is 50 and I am 48 and we do not have any kids. This was our 11th cruise overall and our 3rd on HAL. It was our first one of over 7 days and our first trip to Europe (other than a business trip I took to Germany in 1983). My parents joined us on the trip and it was wonderful to be able to spend some time with them since we do not see them very often. It was the first trip we've taken together. They live on the Oregon coast and just celebrated their 49th anniversary. It was their 10th cruise and 3rd on HAL. They had taken a Mediterranean cruise for their 40th (on Princess) and had been to Ireland last year. We are not the types to go out wandering on our own especially in foreign places so we took the ships tours and were very happy with them. Read more
