Mike, I am going to pop in here for a moment. I don't normally post but I would like to ask you a few questions. We were on the Sept 8th sailing of the Amakaterina with Sheila. What she is saying is correct. My husband and I sat at the Captain's Table for the Farewell Dinner, next to Marina and the Captain. Part of the discussion was that AMA is putting the Amakaterina into dry dock at the end of the last cruise (two after ours). They will address the terrible problems with the air conditioning, heating system and air returns, correct the sewerage and diesel smells which were bad and, finally, redecorate the rooms to make them brighter. She said nothing about replacing the cook or American chef. The food was poor and unimaginative. The Russian students who stayed with us left to return to college at the end of the cruise. I find it hard to believe that these problems were fixed after we left. I certainly would like to know how or why the next cruises were different from our experience. We did have a good time but it wasn't what was promised. By the way this was our third AMA cruise and until this cruise, I would agree with you assessment of the company. Can you help me understand?
