Thanks everyone. I wasn't sure if I should post about a river cruise on this forum; but I know that when we were researching before we booked, we couldn't find very much info. We didn't know what to expect. We found lots of general stuff, but not a lot of details or pictures of the boats themselves. After we booked the Amalyra (14 mos. ahead!), we booked our Egypt trip which included the 4 nights on the Nile, but we knew that boat didn't belong to AMAWaterways.

Anyway, that's why I posted it. River cruising is so totally different from ocean cruising, as we discussed in the review. It is gaining in popularity and really worth trying. I'll never give up my oceans, but the rivers are a great addition to our choices. We will certainly do another.

Meanwhile, we are going to give Azamara a try in Feb. 2010 in SE Asia. So, stay tuned for Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and China.
