    Pity that the elevator does not go up to the sun deck. I do appreciate that you mentioned it. Are there any AMA riverboats that DO have an elevator to the sun deck? I know that some other lines have elevators to their sun decks.

    • @happytraveller2122
      @happytraveller2122 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      No elevators can go to the top deck due to the low bridges that you can go under

    • @visitwithus
      @visitwithus  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh, I’m really not sure. Like the other comment we didn’t think it was possible to have lifts go up to the sun decks on river ships as they usually have to go through locks and under low bridges. Sorry. Please let us know if you find one.
      Thanks for watching though 👍

    Absolutely lovely ship but I’ll make 2 observations. Pools seem useless on a river cruise in Europe. Half the time it’s too cold, the other half it’s port intensive so no one is around to use. Why bother instal them except for show. A sunset bar would be nicer. 2nd. Ditto with gyms. They will never be big or decently equipped. If you can’t
    Go a week without exercising (well i imagine u do a lot of walking anyway) there something wrong: it’s again wasted space - a treadmill, some weights and a rower. This is of course imo.

    • @youtubewatcher1135
      @youtubewatcher1135 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I disagree about the exercise room. We will use it for sure. I just wish the exercise rooms would have a rowing machine.

    • @happytraveller2122
      @happytraveller2122 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I disagree about the pools. I always swim. Wouldn’t use a gym though - unless to sleep in.

      @lizcademy4809 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@youtubewatcher1135 Agreed… I need to exercise for my back and a properly equipped gym is much better than the floor of my room.

    • @visitwithus
      @visitwithus  ปีที่แล้ว

      We have used pools on river cruises so I suppose it just depends on the itinerary and the weather. Though a sunset bar would be a nice addition too 😁
      Similarly though we usually find that river cruises are quite active anyway so don’t use the gym but notice that some people do like to use them - personally we’d rather go ashore to get exercise if we can 🏃

    From now on only Uniworld.

    • @visitwithus
      @visitwithus  ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, I'd admit the draw of Uniworld is a strong one, but what was it about Ama that drove you to that conclusion? :)
