The Cruise That Wasn't

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on AmaDante

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

We experienced a very disappointing 7-day roundtrip between Paris and Normandy "cruise." It wasn't a cruise at all. It was more like a stay on a houseboat that didn't move. The Seine was at very high water levels and the ship could not leave Paris. Now the high water levels is certainly not the fault of AMA but the way they handled the situation was. We went through four captains, two cruise ...

Disappointing Christmas River Cruise

We wanted to do a Christmas Market cruise and the preferred one was full. This sounded like a good alternative. We realize the flooded rivers were beyond the control of Viking, but the adjustment made didn't work that well for us. We were bused for hours to and from the scheduled excursions. We usually had the same amount of time at the towns, but free time to explore the towns on our own was ...

We've only been on two Viking cruises and i think we are done with this company. The ships to us are very basic and amenities provided during the cruise were really minimal. I would rate this company and mid-range and certainly not luxury level. I felt the port stops for Viking were extremely inconvenient and they would frequently provide misleading descriptions of walking distances such as ...

This was our Third Viking River cruise and our 6th viking cruise....It will be our last! We chose this cruise because we had done a Viking Christmas Market cruise before and we had a credit left over from covid that was due to expire. In retrospect, I should have let the credit expire! Evidently this was a fairly new itinerary and, for sure, one that Viking new nothing about. In at least two ...

We booked the Paris & Normandy Cruise on 4th November 2023 after attending a very professional presentation at our local travel agency. I was impressed by the Scottish Business Development Manager's assurances that AmaWaterways always delivers an excellent guest experience. Although disappointed that there were several fairly significant changes to the original itinerary published in the ...

Uniworld packages 3 voyages together as "Ultimate France", this covers week 2. Ship #2: Joie de Vivre It too had a bistro that you could book for dinner instead of the main dining room.

This cruise was rather expensive. My travel agent really pushed this cruise line, and one thing she assured me was the food would be fabulous. It turned out a lot of the food was frozen and pre-made. The chef's dinner was amazing, but you only get it for one night. One other dinner was pretty good, but not so memorable I could tell you what it was. The menu is very limited, and honestly, I would ...

We chose Uniworld as it is ranked at a very high standard in Luxury . All the best cruise’s lines River or Sea are expensive and we have done many invoking Silversea and Seaborne. The boat is decorated in a French themed design and we felt it made it very dark . The cabin French Balcony was so small we were shocked when we walked in . We also can compare this to an Amareina cruise we did two ...

I will start with one positive comment (it will be downhill after that). The cabin was roomy with good storage space and in pretty good condition. The food was school-dinner standard. I sent back many a full plate (which I don't normally do) - nasty textures, bland etc. Apart from the very last day when the chef pulled something out of the bag – a clever move I guess – hoping the last lunch and ...

Our Destination Seine Tauck tour departed Paris on 10/19/2022 and returned on the 29th. This company was so highly recommended by a personal friend that we decided to give Tauck a whirl. Tauck was to come into competition with the Crystal Danube cruise we took one year prior to the pandemic. WE found the service to be very uneven, the cruise was understaffed(not acceptable taking into ...
