We paid $2200.00 for a category B upgrade and were told we would be getting a larger room. That was not the case at all. Also, because we had an odd numbered room, every time we docked the view from our window was a concrete or steel wall. We were very disappointed with the overall accommodations and will likely not go on another Ama Waterways river cruise. The staff was excellent and we give them high marks.Show more
