Our first river cruise and it did not disappoint. At first we were notified of a disruption to our cruise as the ship could not have us board as scheduled due a lock undergoing repairs short of Nuremberg. Although initially disappointed it turned out to be a bonus as we were picked up by bus to be transported to a dock in Kelheim, a beautiful part of the world! As we had explored Nuremberg in previous days it did not matter. Amawaterways moved quickly to organise alternative tour arrangements. Great to have all your tours included with afternoon time to explore on your own. Our cabin (3**) was really spacious which we were surprised with as it is a contrast to ocean cruising where cabin space can be limited. We enjoyed immensely our daily breakfast lunch and dinner, service being impeccable. Loved the crew!!! My wife and I prefer to dine and enjoy our experiences in a more intimate setting which we can on ocean cruising, however, at times, with river cruising we found that this was not always possible. This is by no way a criticism but a statement of the ambiance of the intimate and smaller environment. The company shared at times was very enjoyable. Such nice people! Overall a very pleasant experience and so relaxing.
