    We appreciated that we were well informed as to where our ship would be rocked on the day of embarkation. We also were notified of changes to our itinerary, because of river closures because of river closure, due to annual upkeep. I was not clearly informed that wifi was not included in my plan. That was very inconvenient. I would have liked to be given the opportunity to decide to include that in my package, even though it may have meant an extra cost. The Amadeus Star crew were magnificent! Arno, the cruise director, orchestrated the tour through the many unexpected changes that were cause by no fault of theirs. He quickly made alterations to the itinerary, that I am sure we’re very difficult for him to do, but we’re pulled off seamlessly. We passengers were shielded from the stress that would have been invoked in last minute changes to the schedule and instead we’re allied to enjoy a stress free vacation. All of the staff we very friendly and and helpful. I have endless examples, but for the sake of time I will just mention a few of the people who stood out to me. Elvira, was so welcoming and warm. She alway was available for the passengers and paid close attention to the small details, that personalized our cruise experience and made us feel important. Carlin our main server in the dining room was so efficient and friendly and funny. We loved him and it was sad to say goodbye to him and his team on the last morning of our cruise. Our cabin attendant was the invisible fairy who would clean and pick up after us everyday. When we passed him in the hall, he always greeted us with a smile. On our anniversary and on my husbands birthday, he mad beautiful towel sculptures and left them to greet us, in our cabin, at the end of the day. There are so many examples I could share, but suffice it to say that because of the wonderful crew on the Amadeus Star, our cruise experience will remain an amazing memory for us to keep and share! We will travel with Lueftner Cruise Lnes
