We selected this cruise as it was part of a package being offered by a local travel agent. It was the first cruise of any type for me and I was very pleased with the experience. The ship itself exceeded my expectations and the staff was top notch. Our cruise director, Luis, was excellent and worked hard to make sure the passengers were happy and well cared for. There were multiple tour options available at each port and they accommodated the various physical/agility levels of the passengers. The local tour guides used by AMA Waterways were knowledgeable and very friendly. I enjoyed each tour and tour guide for different reasons and appreciated our guides' willingness to answer questions or offer recommendations regarding the dining, etc, for whatever port we were in. They also offered on board wellness (exercise) classes and Rui did a great job of leading them. The quality of the food and the dining service was excellent with a focus on local wines. Transfers from the airport on arrival and transfer to the airport on departure went well, given we were a group of almost 100 people. Overall, this felt like a luxurious cruise at a good price point. I would definitely travel with AMA Waterways again!
