The effort made by all the staff on both the Capella and AmStella were 1st class. We were transferred to the AmStella for the second week due to low river water. The company did all it could and more to organise the transfer, which involved a lot of organisation. The second ship would be all inclusive to compensate for the disruption to passengers. Packing a case and a 4 hour transfer coach journey to a luxury all inclusive ship....we ran to the coach 😁. I assume the moaners were teatotal!! Both ships were beautifully decorated and the luxury cabin came with a full balcony. Lots of extra excursions and still some professional moaners weren't pleased. The food in both ships was good and well presented. I did expect a little bit more high end dishes on the luxury ship but perhaps our 2 weeks provisions were transferred with us. I must say that comparing my first river cruise to the past ocean going large vessels are two completely different experiences. Good and not so good on both sides but I would definitely say ocean cruises are better value, especially in the food department re quality and choice. River cruises are so relaxing and passenger friendly if you wish to find new friends on board. Only downside on the ship was the constant moaning passengers.....down to only 2 towels hooks and not 3 as they hung their nighties on the other 2. You have to laugh I suppose. Thanks you to all at APT travel, you please most of the passengers all of the time and take the negative comments with a large pinch of salt.
