Paris Romantic Cruises Reviews

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

When looking for a British Isle vacation, this Princess Cruise seemed to be our best fit.... I wish we could have a do-over. The ship was older and the layout for many areas was poor. But we could have over-looked many of the negatives if the food and activities on the ship were, at least, tolerable. That was not the case. The food in the buffet, (which is our go-to after a long day) was, ...

Chose cruise to visit places we had not been before. For most part enjoyed our trip but: Buffet - hot food was cold - cold food was warm - salad bar was good. Dining room meals good Shops - lots of booze, candy, jewelry, clothes, souvenirs, etc. - first night someone asked for halls candy for sore throat - not available - week later heard same question and same response. Entertainment ...

Unfortunately we booked the trip not knowing tha we were 16 ofuk couples the rest bein German, not a problem,but we felt quite isolated,all of the ships announcements were in German,followed by occasionaly with a short comment in English .The food was terrible nearly always warm or cold and very difficult to guess what it was,as most of the time it wasn’t described or labelled,The crew were rude ...

We booked this cruise, airlines, and travel about a year in advance! The airline connections were a complete cattle run. Tucson to Denver switch planes Denver to Frankfurt switch planes Frankfurt to Paris switch planes so tired after this! Thought we were going to get killed the way the driver took us to our dump of a hotel. Pullman Paris Eiffel Tower; between the broken fixtures in ...

Three key situations that contributed to an endless list of problems. 1. Avalon knew before we left Paris that the cruise would be interrupted by weather and did not communicate that to us. 2. The actual experience on the boat did not match advertised quality. 3.The accommodations provided once the cruise was interrupted were substandard which were otherwise promised in ...

No one told us that we would be spending more time during the day travelling by bus as the ships seldom dock in the towns advertised. So it is early morning bus tours to reach the advertised city, town, castle. A 12 hour bus tour from Paris to Trier to embark and another 12 hours from disembarkation at Nurnberg to Prague was exhausting. Food was not deluxe standard. Not enough seating in ...
