Amastella

JULY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

The people, our tour guide one day was Fredericka and she was wonderful as was another one from Atlanta, Georgia.

CONS

The guide we had in Riquewihr spoke way too fast and intermittently in French. Not sure if she realized she was doing it. Also two men said their wives were not on the bus and she took off anyway. Fortunately we passed them on the street and the bus picked them up.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

We had a wonderful vacation on the Rhine River on the Amastella. The ship was beautiful, the staff was amazing, the food was great and the excursions were top-notch.

SEPTEMBER

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Excellent service and care.

CONS

Did not like other ships docking so close to your stateroom that you cannot open your shade.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Everything was wonderful. My biggest disappointment is the above stated comment. 5 out 7 nights or mornings, I could not open my shade. That was annoying. Perhaps I was on the wrong side of the ship.
