We were hesitant at first to book with Amawaterways vs its well advertised competitor.... but are so happy with our choice. The ships were basically the same size, same amenities, but with less people and fewer staterooms which meant more room for us! The staff was all so very accommodating, interactive and cheerful that you truly felt pampered on your floating luxury hotel with amazing food, drinks, views, ports and the opportunity to meet new friends each day. We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise and will definitely use this cruise line on our next river cruise.
Pros: accomodations were wonderful, food and wine very good, lots of excursions to choose from. Enjoyed the flexibility of the schedule so you didn't feel rushed or no time to relax on your vacation like on a large cruise ship.
Cons: maybe would have enjoyed a pool for the days we were sailing or a larger, warmer hot tub but really no cons about our choice on this ship.

This was our second cruise with AMA, and hopefully, not our last.
Pros: The service, the excursions, the food, the comfort and luxory
Cons: The wines were a little less than I had hoped.

We had an absolutely fabulous time. It met and surpassed all of our expectations. The ship, the hotel, the itinerary and the ship's crew were perfect. One of our party needed physical assistance which was accommodated by Ama on our city tours and even at the airports she was met disembarking from the plane with a wheel chair and she and our party of four were quickly and efficiently escorted through customs and baggage claim.
Pros: Food, ship, tours, staff, itinerary
Cons: None

Overall, we had a very nice time. The staff are excellent ambassadors for the AMA Waterways brand. They are THE reason we had a good experience….the staff that cleaned our rooms, served our meals, responded to our questions, etc. The staff are AMA Waterways most valuable asset and we hope they are appreciated, recognized and compensated accordingly! The local guides retained for the excursions were wonderful and extremely knowledgeable! The excursion to Normandy was awesome and very moving. Three retired Air Force veterans from our ship were invited to participate in the wreath laying ceremony, which was very special. A few comments: - Consider deleting the LaHarve excursion to allow more time in Honfleur. - Provide more details about each excursion at the time we need to select them! - Consider the feasibility of having a meal “in the community” during one of the excursions. There were a few changes related to the water level on the Seine, which impacted embarkation and de-embarkation. These changes, while inconvenient, were well communicated and regular updates were provided. The AMA Waterways app was fantastic. It was easy to use and updated daily. It was our “one stop shop” for information on how to prepare for the day.
Pros: Excellent service by all staff. Comfortable state rooms. Ample onboard amenities. High-quality excursions.
Cons: Small state rooms, which we have learned is typical. Not enough downtime. With two excursions daily, there was limited time to relax before dinner.
