I thought I was dealing directly with the amawaterways only to find I'd booked with Tour radar. Never again .emails system not fit for purpose,didn't action my pick up requests couldn't get hold of anyone. Stranded at Schiphol airport,fortunately amawaterways agent on hand and took us to the ship.Tour radar spend more time emailing me about my next trip.They couldn't organise the one I was on . As to amawaterways couldn't fault them.The trip service,quality I only wish the internet happened pushed me to Tour radar and I booked direct and not through a third party
