We enjoyed our first river cruise with AmaWaterways. They do an outstanding job. We have been on large cruise ships before and it was nice to have close contact with the cruise Director, the cruise Captain and the cruise Manager.
We did miss the room service that we have come to enjoy on a larger cruise ship. Having breakfast via room service to enjoy on the balcony would’ve made for a more restful cruise experience for us. We have enjoyed this on the larger ships.
Also, the cruise was a wine cruise, and we thought we could ignore that part of it. But not being wine drinkers, it was pretty intense. There was a strong focus on wine. If a couple are not wine drinkers, I would not recommend going on a wine cruise.
And finally, we did not receive our documents for the cruise until I called our travel agent, one week before the cruise. She contacted AmaWaterways and they emailed them to us that day. I would have expected that the documents would have been sent to us without me having to ask for them. I felt like this was a lack of attention to detail.
