AmaBella cruise review 2024
November
Pros: Cruise director / staff / itinerary/ guides on excursions
Cons: food - it was not as wonderful as everything else. (especially dinners)
Recommended: No
Everyone I spoke with on the cruise said the same thing - how nice the cruise all in all was. You could tell the staff loved their jobs. Ship was a littler older, but still nice. Many wanted to sail on Ama again.

Not the best
September
Pros: Great crew. Nice ship. Perfectly clean.
Cons: Food and beverage average at best. Limited food choices. Few wine options. No free time on excursions.
Recommended: No
Guides were good for the most part. Most trips were just “walk around” with no time to visit museums, etc. Menus limited. Only two extra options each night excluding basics “always available” salmon, steak, chicken breast. Not for travelers who want to experience a location.

Great river cruise
December
Pros: Friendly and effective staff, great excursions, clean
Cons: Tips not included, Drinks only sometimes included, no coffee machine in room, no self-laundry
Recommended: Yes
Great experience overall. Great staff, ship, and excursions. Be aware that tips are not included, which made things awkward on the last day since individual tips were encouraged. The lowest deck is partially submerged so would not recommend. State rooms without French or balcony doors have only very small windows. Christmas markets in Eastern Europe are no major destination.

Danube - Prague to Budapest
March
Pros: Too many to list, Prague is fascinating and beautiful, the ship was casually luxurious, all the stops and excursions were terrific, staff was friendly and eager to please, etc.
Cons: None
Recommended: Yes
See Pros above … enjoyed the cuisine (locally and on the ship), enjoyed all excursion options (walking, hiking, & biking), we upgraded our room to have slightly more room and it was worth the slight extra cost, beautiful views, amazing vacation!
