Good to be back, Karen, despite having a truly incredible visit to Budapest and Prague, pre and post.

"Off" perhaps with dining, but their first come, first serve, line up at the restaurant door policy, if not altered, really is a bad idea unless you want to que up early and wait to snag a table of your preference. The crowding around the door was distasteful to us. However, no way around it.

AMA was not totally without merits; however, having cruised on Deilmann, we felt, overall, that we were getting a more "potatoes without much meat" cruise.

Hi Donna,

Yes, Deilmann has an ocean-going vessel, Deutchland. I hear it's very formal. Not sure how it holds up compared to Regent. I do know that Deilmann river cruises more than hold up to AMA. No contest.
