We will be on the July 1,2017 sailing! It's. "Girls trip" - my mother, daughter (will be almost 15 years old) and me!! We are very excited!

We are on a Danube ABD cruise this summer, so hope to learn a lot about river cruising. This will be our 4th ABD and my moms first. Looking forward to meeting you all!!

We are currently in Prague, and will be leaving for the ABD Danube trip tomorrow! It is the AmaViola, a similar ship to what we will be on next summer. I will report back on the ship details, with pics if possible. We have a verandah, so I will try to get feedback from others on the rooms without. To be honest, we may not even be on the ship that much! Will let you know what I learn!

I will be very interested in hearing your thoughts. I'm considering the Rhine cruise for 2018 (if I can make it work with our 10 year anniversary trip earlier that year). Enjoy the Danube cruise!
 
We are booked for the July 29, 2017 sailing. DH, me, and our two boys (who will be 9 and 12 then). I have not yet decided if we will do the Amsterdam add on.

We are on the AmaViola now, which (from what I understand) is similar to the ship that we will be on for the Rhine cruise. We booked a 200-level room with a verandah. I have gone out on the veranda exactly 4 times in the past 6 days. Many times at port, you are docked side to side with another ship. So close you can almost touch! And most of the cruising has been at night. We had one day with some lovely day cruising and we watched from a higher floor. The top floor is so nice to sit and watch - and there are many canopies for shade. I probably would have been fine with a lower floor. The nicest thing about the room is how much natural light we have - Windows basically on one wall. Curtains are plenty dark if needed.

@lola1972 @SCFamily4 thank you for the inputs. i upgraded to Cat C with french balcony . I guess having fresh air will be better. We are very excited on this river cruise.
 
We will be on the July 1st sailing, myself, husband, son who will be 19 at the time, daughter and son-in-law. We have been on 2 previous trips. Costa Rica and Wyoming. We are interested in trying River cruising and the ports look amazing. It has been along time since we did an ABD because I discovered that we could pretty much do alot of the ABD itineraries on our own for a lot less money. However, it would be hard to duplicate the River Cruise without a lot of unpacking and moving about. So,we are hoping for a lot of great adventure, fun, and food! And, a river that has good water levels so we don't end up on a bus trip.
 
Holiday trip 2017 (myself, DH, and DD who will be 17 then). So excited...:)

Oh my gosh, so jealous!! Danube this Christmas and Rhine next??!! That is awesome! I definitely want to do both, but want to do the Danube for the holidays and the Rhine in the summer. I can't wait to hear about both of them!
