AmaWaterways - AmaSonata Reviews

Nice people

Family was well accommodated and this trip will be remembered for our entire lifetime.

Honestly, I was not impressed with the cruise. The stateroom was nice, but small -- however the staff was always cleaning! I was impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms. I did not think the excursions were well planned. More than once, the "land" guides did not have the information they needed. Some of the land guides were very good. I was disappointed that there was not more food prepared from local areas. For instance I thought there would be more Austrian and German foods served.

If you get bored eating five star meals, getting five star attention and visiting amazing sites, then you probably won't enjoy AMA Waterways but if you do like these things, you'll walk away as flabbergasted as we did. We had an amazing time with a truly marvelous crew. We are already trying to determine which cruise will be our next. Many guests we met have used other river lines and said AMA was simply better at everything.

I love traveling by river. You only have to unpack once and every day you see a new city!

Stellar service, food and excursions! Staff is beyond belief! Always a smile and attention to detail. Everything done the way you’d want it. Nothing left lacking. Nailed it!!!

Our cruise on the AMA Sonata down the Danube was superb. We hated to come home after being pampered by the professional staff in all their variety of functions.

Loved the cruise and the included tours. AMA has put a lot of thought into the tours and their organization and they are very good. Some tour guides are better than others, but you have a lot of choices and we found them to be very good overall. Food was terrific and the staff really great. Would give it 5 stars except for cabin quirks. The cabins are tiny, even the upgraded rooms like we had. Suggestion for future ships - get rid of the outside balcony, add that space to the room and make all the windows a French balcony. I am also not sure who thought putting a window in the bathroom looking into the cabin was a good idea: even polarized, anyone using it during the night lights up the entire cabin when they turn on the light. Finally, they need better mattresses for the beds. Beds on ocean cruises are much better and I was not the only one not getting decent sleep due to the bed.

We enjoyed the cruise immensely. No negative comments.

We loved our cruise with AMA and will sign up for another one. Those who do river cruising should be aware that the water can be too high or too low to reach your intended destination. You must appreciate the fact that nature rules and adapt accordingly. You will still see all of the places you looked forward to, it it may be by bus. It is still a wonderful experience!

Everything was well done, especially given the adjustments that were made due to low water levels.

The ship and crew make you feel like you're family.

Amawaterways cruise was fantastic. No regrets

Our 3rd ama cruise and all three have been very enjoyable. Good mix of stops on this Danube cruise, always good food onboard, and our cabin was very comfortable.

Enjoyed our river cruise so much. Beautiful ship and excellent crew. We hope to go again in the future.
