One of my friends from a previous trip just boarded the Amabella (a sister ship to ours) in Budapest heading west (we'll be going east). Thought I'd share one of her FB comments here: "Arriving in Vienna as I type. Yesterday after the tour of budapest we set sail west on our journey to Amsterdam. the food is a definite downfall which we are attempting to overcome and the wines are all great and not quite so easy to pass up. My waiter last night advised me to keep drinking and just wave my napkin and he would be there to escort me - and he was. Shame he was a little too young. The plunge pool which is way too hot in the day was a perfect temperature last night around 9.30 and it seems like a week since we departed Budapest" Am getting so excited for our trip. I leave in 2 weeks! Anybody else out there joining me?

Would love to know more as you travel in September. Especially anything about packing--what do you wish you'd packed, what didn't you need, what was essential? Also any comments about the trip. (I depart the US Sept. 28.) Sounds like a wonderful trip

You'll have a wonderful time! There are so many amenities on the ship, I can't think of a thing you'll need that they cannot provide. They have umbrellas, canes, bicycles, just about anything you'll need. There's even a computer for personal use in your room! Just take your passport and a camera. They'll take care of the rest!

I am a tennis fan and this trip puts us in Istanbul October 22 to 25. I notice that the women's end-of-year tournament will be IN ISTANBUL while we are there. I thoought about playing hooky for a day to go watch tennis instead, but the planned program looks like a much better use of my time. We have never been anywhere close to Istanbul before!

Would love to communicate with anyone traveling on the trip beginning Oct 14. I'll be arriving that morning via boat--after two weeks on the MS Amadolce from Amsterdam. Will be paired with a roommate, so also interested in meeting other women who plan to have a roommate. I know little about this part of Europe. Would love to hear from anyone who has been here before.

My husband and I will on that trip and are very excited about the locations. Packing? That is my next question, for anyone who has gone this time of year.

I am a single person coming on this trip. I am coming from being in Paris for 2 weeks. I plan to arrive Sat Oct 13. I get the feeling the weather is like Spring/Fall we'll see

I am booked to arrive Budapest a day early (am departing U.S. on September 3). Am signed up for a single share room on the cruise, but RS will not allow me to meet my roommate in advance, so am taking this means to see if I can ferret out any info about who I might be sharing with. Let me know if there are any other single ladies out there on the September 4 departure, and if any would be interested in sharing a B&B room the night of September 4 in Budapest before boarding the cruise on the 5th!

I understand there are 35 of us on this trip. My wife and I will be arriving in Budapest a few days early (Thursday, September 29, 1330 hours). We are staying at then Best Western Orion hotel on the Buda side of the river, near the dock for the MS Amacello.
