We are currently on Day 6 of the cruise sailing towards Amsterdam. It has been a fabulous trip so far - the ship is absolutely beautiful and it's only the second sailing ever of the Ama Kristina so everything is new and sparkling. You can definitely tell that they are using the
DVC Inaugural cruise as a sort of test run for the rest of the
ABD "Once Upon a Rhine" cruises for the summer and next year. We even previewed some of the Beauty and the Beast themed events for 2018 with a special dinner. There is a camera crew taking pictures and filming for content that will be on the Disney Parks blog and some marketing material for ABD and DVC. As a DVC exclusive, we just had a presentation by Becky Cline, director of the Disney Archive, on Walt and Roy Disney's travel through Europe. Overall it has been wonderful and I will post more detail when I am back in the States. And it was very cool to watch the ship go through the locks!
