Review summary

Our Cruise Manager, Henry was outstanding! He was there every step of the way and available to assist in any way possible. Henry was perfect and, a great asset to AMA! We have been on large ship cruises in the past but enjoy river cruising much more because it is just more intimate and enjoyable with fewer people! You feel like you are getting greater attention from everyone (wait staff, front desk, Captain, etc.! Additionally, the small tour groups in each port is an excellent way to learn about the history. All of our tour guides were very informative and knowledgeable! Also, kudos to Captain Jack (not correct spelling) as he was very personable and visible! Receiving a post card thanking us for traveling on the AmaMora was a nice touch!

Plenty of activities available however, we only enjoyed the music in the evening. We preferred to just relax!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The music in the evening (Piano) was excellent but, the best night was the 2 Musicians who only spent a few hours on board. They were really good and had everyone up dancing.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin was very nice and clean! It met our needs very well. We wish the restroom were a little bigger but, it is as good as it can be for the room size.

Adorable little town. Even though it was adorable, I would forfeit this town to spend more time in Strasbourg/Alsace!

LOVED Alsace! This was one of our favorite parts of the trip and, would have loved to spend a lot more time here wandering around. There wasn't much free time to enjoy shopping or a coffee.
