Rare notamermaid Posted February 12, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hello Rhonbru, we are going amsterdam to budapest so you will be on the AmaReina on the Magnificent Europe trip? Then you will dine in Namedy castle. APT are the only ones going there. They have got a short video of it online. I really like Namedy castle. I have been there couple of times for events. The rest of the trip sounds fabulous as well. :) Have a great time. notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare notamermaid Posted February 15, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 15, 2017 It certainly can be still cool in April, Rhonbru. Fresh snow is very unlikely, but you may see some patches in the hills close to the river. Temperatures are anything between zero at night and 25 degrees in the afternoon (if you are lucky and are in a mild area during a warm spell). Pack layers and get some good walking shoes that are suitable for walking in the rain. There can be lots of that in April. For some details about this and other things you might want to ask before your cruise, you could roam around the the river cruising roll calls and add yourself to one or start a new thread there. notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhonbru Posted September 17, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted September 17, 2017 we are off on an APT cruise soon. I am not keen on all the organised excursions. can one do one's own thing? eg in Cologne - how long is the ship thee? Is there time for us to diy? yes you can .....they take you on a walking tour of the city then you have free time but I have seen people approach the guide to do their own thing ....she/he will tell you where to meet at a set time and you can leave the tour and do your own thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg50 Posted September 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted September 17, 2017 thank you so much! Presumably then, like ocean cruises, there's a 'be back onboard by' notice as you get off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caviargal Posted September 17, 2017 #13 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Presumably then, like ocean cruises, there's a 'be back onboard by' notice as you get off? The daily activities sheet has the all aboard time printed on it. The CM will also advise this in his briefing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT Trips Posted September 17, 2017 #14 Share Posted September 17, 2017 You are likely to get two "be back" times - one for lunch and one for sail away. The guide will typically tell you where and when to meet to return for lunch. If you plan to stay in town, inquire about how things will work at the end of the day if the boat isn't docked within walking distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg50 Posted September 17, 2017 #15 Share Posted September 17, 2017 thank you for your help. How much info arrives with the tickets ( and when do they arrive?). I am used to Ocean cruises sending loads of 'stuff'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg50 Posted September 19, 2017 #16 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) sorry to go on about Cologne. The itinerary says rejoin the ship in Bonn.... Does this mean a very short time in Cologne, or longer and a coach trip? Or is it there twice? the ship tracker/ port schedulers are ambiguous Edited September 19, 2017 by Meg50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
