Return to AMA Does Not Disappoint

June

Pros: Quality of the Ships Amenities. Friendliness and Professionalism of Ama Staff. Quality of Food and Drinks. Promptness of all activities.

Cons: None...

Recommended: Yes

This was our second cruise with Ama Waterways in Europe. After a wonderful first experience, we were pleasantly treated to an equally excellent experience on the AmaCello. The ship was comfortable, quiet, clean, and in excellent condition in all areas. The staff was professional and first class in all of their services and interactions. We would recommend Ama to anyone interested in a wonderful travel experience.

AmaWaterways-AmaCello

April

Pros: Fabulous service and fine dining. Stateroom with French Balcony was exceptional. The onboard laundry service was very handy, too

Cons: Assigned seating with the same couple for 3 meals/day for the duration of the cruise.

Recommended: Yes

Even with about half capacity, the AmaWaterways Ama Cello did not disappoint. With an expert crew, our every little need was taken care of. The land excursions and tours were superb. Transfers from the airport were superb. Ama Waterways does everything right!

South of France with AmaWaterways

April

Pros: The staff was amazing and we got to see areas of France that would be challenging to get to using any other method of travel.

Cons: The food was very good, but got a little boring after a while. The pillows on the beds were very uncomfortable and no alternatives were available.

Recommended: Yes

This ship is looking a little dated and could use some upgrades to the lounge furniture. However, this was the best crew I've ever had the privilege of sailing with...the customer service was top notch!

Rhine River Cruise

July

Pros: -The additional days in Zurich and Lucerne - The variety of the excursions in each port - Beautiful scenery along the Rhine river - Quality of service from the crew

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

This was our first river cruise and we were very pleased with all aspects of it. The food and the service on the ship were outstanding. The hotels in Zurich and Lucerne were very nice and located in very convenient places. The time in the ports was usually plenty to go on the excursions and then still have plenty left over for shopping or eating at the local restaurants.

Wonderful Rhine cruise!

June

Pros: Excellent crew, quality cruise director, great food, organized, on-time, loved the bikes!

Cons: None for us.

Recommended: Yes

My wife and I (both in mid-fifties) thoroughly enjoy our cruise. It was our first river cruise. Smaller ship (compared to ocean cruises) created a much more "group" feel to the experience, yet still easy to have your own space when desired. Food was plentiful, convenient, diverse, and tasty. Very nice that wine and beer were included with lunch and dinner. We enjoyed using the ship's bicycles at a number of the cruise stops; they were quality bikes in good shape. The local excursions provided through AMA were all enjoyable, with quality guides. A favorite was "Ollie" who led a walking tour of Amsterdam that included a visit to a beer house, complete with beer, bread, and potato pancakes. While the Rhine has the look of a "grand canal" for a major portion of the cruise, it is still very entertaining to spend time on the upper deck and watch the world go by. The Rhine Gorge portion of the cruise, with 20+ castles to view, was spectacular! We will definitely consider using AMA for another cruise, maybe the Danube?!
