This was our second cruise with AMA and we chose this particular cruise based on the fact it included a 3 day stay in Paris and we added the Barcelona extension. The accommodations in Paris and Barcelona was outstanding. The ship and crew were amazing as usual. The cruise director Louis was exceptional and very helpful he was with us through both extensions. The wait staff was fantastic Filip was funny and kept everyone laughing along with Stefan at meal time. The entertainment was outstanding Disco night had everyone just dancing up a storm. The only issue when traveling during August is most of the country is on holiday and a lot of things were closed. Also the temperature was over 100 every afternoon made it difficult for some for the walking excursions. We are planning our next AMA cruise for January of 2025 to Vietnam. AMA goes out of their way to ensure that service is at least at a 5 star level.
