    AMA Waterways - Check in way faster than ocean cruise

    AMA Waterways

    Second time doing river cruises with Ama. First time on Danube during Xmas market starting from…read morePrague. This cruise is on the Rhine River beginning in Basel, Switzerland, ending up in Amsterdam. Why do I like Ama Kristina? *they provide you with 2 bottles of water per person daily; one in your cabin & 1 to take ashore on excursions .*wifi works great; not like on ocean cruises *make your own specialty coffee all day *food is varied, delicious, omelette station *you may choose from a menu for all meals or do breakfast and lunch buffet style or light lunch. * the main dining room staff become your home away from home; the immediate recognition is uncanny. This ship we have met workers from Bulgaria, Romania and Indonesia. *there is afternoon tea as well as late evening excursions.

    I'm not quite sure why AmaWaterways shows up under Building Supplies, as we took a Danube River…read morecruise on their Ama Sonata, and that is the subject of this review. While this was our first river cruise (after several ocean cruises), we were very pleasantly surprised, and are extremely likely to not only take more river cruises, but in all likelihood, will do so on one of AmaWaterways' ships. Our particular cruise began in Budapest, with a night in port in that lovely city, which included a sailing up and down the Danube to view the city by night--it is simply magnificent, with all the buildings lit up. We then sailed up the Danube, with stops in Bratislava, Vienna (overnight there), Durnstein and Melk in one day, Linz, Passau, and ending in Vilshofen. From that city, most passengers went on by bus (included in price) to Prague, with a stop in Regensburg. A smaller number of passengers took a bus (also included in price) to Munich. There were capacity-controlled tours included in every city, with each passenger getting a receiver enabling all passengers to hear the tour guide easily, even from 50' or more away. Bicycle tours were offered in three cities, and there were only two optional tours that had additional costs (we attended one, a concert in Vienna at a cost of roughly $125-$130/person, and well worth it). Food on the ship was very good, with an emphasis on local cuisine at each stop. Beer and wine were complementary with all meals, although upgraded wines, along with mixed drinks, were at the passenger's expense. (Prices were reasonable.) With only roughly 160 passengers on board, it's econically infeasible to have big entertainment, but we did enjoy some local folklore dancers, along with a classical music trio, and a June Oktoberfest (on a 90-degree evening) in Regensburg. Other nights we were treated to a keyboard player with a wide range of selections. Considering that the average passenger's age was probably somewhere near the age of dirt, there wasn't much dancing. The entire crew was very friendly, extremely service-oriented and eager to please. We enjoyed getting to know most of the staff and learning a little Romanian, Hungarian, Slovakian, German and a couple of other languages. We truly loved the cities and towns where we stopped, and highly recommend this line, particularly if you don't mind being with an older group, most of whom are very sharp.

    Better customer service than US main carriers. Seating was very comfortable, the food was good (we…read moresat in premium plus) and the flight attendants were very kind when asked for assistance. Business class was extremely comfortable, the food was excellent, and the customer service was beyond reproach. Definitely recommend flying Swiss air for overseas travel.

    I am currently in a country that does not have Yelp yet (there's quite a few!!!), but I can review…read morethe airplane company that brought me there in October 2025 and let's just say... Swiss Airlines made for a rough start to my vacation. You'd think that a company based and run by one of the wealthiest and most expensive countries in the world would be quite nice, but they definitely cheap out on everything!!! (Where does all the money go?) Yes, I was in economy class, so I shouldn't expect the red carpet laid out for me but my 4 hour flight on Swiss Air was rough, chaotic, and messy from the start. From the disorganized boarding in a very basic airport (more on the Zurich airport in its own review later) to the odd food choices to the stupid emergency exit seats we were delegated to sit in, I just counted the seconds, waiting for it all to be over. The plane clearly hadn't been updated since we the 90s - the seats were uncomfortable, our leg space was constantly having to be used up by other passengers in line for the bathroom (which smelled immediately as it kept getting clogged), and the safety video was nightmare fuel. And who thought it was a good idea to make the in-flight magazine online only? On a plane where we can't get wifi on? The stewardess' and pilots were nice and clearly going through the chaos as well so I absolutely respect the staff, 100%. The dessert in the meal was also quite tasty as well. But yeah, I won't be trying to fly on Swiss Air again anytime soon.

    Swiss International Airlines - Because of the noise, movies and audio are not that enjoyable and one can entertain themselves with the maps.
