hi I'm Gary beverage and this is another
0:08
of my tips for chalice I am going to
0:10
take you on a tour and review the Amazon
0:13
otter River cruise ship now mo waterways
0:15
cruise ships are amongst the highest
0:17
rated so the Berlitz guide to river
0:20
cruising ranks 10 of the mo waterway
0:23
ships as their top 10 ships so let's
0:26
take a look at the amazon auto that i am
0:28
reporting this on and find out why
0:30
they're so highly rated the ship was
0:33
built in 2014 because 164 guests has
0:38
roughly one crew member for every three
0:40
passengers and has a lot of space per
0:42
passenger is one of the best on the
0:44
rivers so let's just take a look at
0:46
first of all what facilities there are
0:48
and then what the cabins are like so the
0:51
top deck which is a Sun Deck you have
0:53
the big open area you have a walking
0:56
track and one of the really important
0:58
features is the swimming pool so it's a
1:00
heated swimming pool so even in the
1:01
depths of winter if you're on board you
1:03
could actually some in it the next level
1:06
down is a violin deck so in the front of
1:08
the ship you have an open area were you
1:11
in good weather you can sit outside and
1:13
heat or relax they're very important you
1:15
have the large lounge here of an
1:17
observation area up front where you get
1:19
great views the lounge is very important
1:21
because you have a bar in here it's
1:22
where you meet in evenings for the 7
1:26
sail complimentary cocktail hour it's
1:28
also where they do serve light bites at
1:31
breakfast and lunch it's also where they
1:34
have afternoon tea so it's a very
1:36
important part it's the main sort of
1:37
meeting spot on board it's also where
1:39
you have things at the port briefings
1:41
just behind that you have a little gift
1:43
shop which has a wide range of souvenirs
1:45
depending on the region jewelry you then
1:49
have the very important reception desk
1:51
and little area where you have the
1:53
cruise manager and a hotel director you
1:55
then have some cabins and then at the
1:57
back you have a couple of really
1:58
important things so you have the chef's
2:00
table which is the speciality dining
2:03
restaurant now the chef's table it's
2:04
actually included within the fair users
2:06
have to book to go to it there's also
2:07
the fitness room here which is again
2:10
complimentary included you have the hair
2:12
and a massage room as well the deck
2:15
below that is known as the cello deck
2:17
and here you have the main dining room
2:19
this is where you can have breakfast
2:21
lunch and dinner breakfast being a
2:23
buffet lunch being a buffet and dinner
2:25
being a multi-course sit down menu it's
2:27
a great venue I should really like the
2:29
dining room because there's lots of
2:30
little booth type tables big tables and
2:33
smaller tables as a real nice mix of
2:35
configurations there below that you have
2:37
the piano deck which is where you have
2:38
more cabins now I want to talk about the
2:40
cabins you do have some sweets but the
2:42
bulk of cabins onboard are the twin
2:45
balcony cabins these are very unique to
2:46
Emma waterways and they created them
2:49
because they know a lot of people like
2:50
to have the idea even if they don't use
2:53
it very much all being able to sit
2:54
outside and enjoy the fresh air as you
2:57
sell long and look at the sight but what
2:59
they realize is if they have a Buckley
3:00
for the whole of the cabin it reduces
3:03
the size of the cabin so they created
3:04
the pan area where you have a French
3:06
balcony so you have more space and then
3:08
the balcony I really like the cabins on
3:10
board I find them very comfortable
3:11
probably one of the nicest cabins on any
3:13
River cruise ship that I've been on the
3:16
quality of the bedding was really good
3:17
the bathroom itself was fantastic it's
3:20
marble bathroom great shower great water
3:22
pressure very hot water really
3:24
consistent nice premium toiletries so
3:27
really nice cabin so the bulk of the
3:28
cabins are this style and they're on the
3:32
violin deck and the cello deck the piano
3:35
deck you have because of small below the
3:38
water level you have cabins which just
3:40
have windows higher up I would really
3:42
recommend if you possibly can you get
3:44
one of the twin balcony cabins because
3:46
that's the best way of experiencing the
3:48
rivers that you cruise arms because you
3:50
get beautiful scenery all the time and
3:52
be able to look out or step on the
3:53
balcony is a really big plus so Emma's
3:56
Sonata it's a very beautiful ship but
3:58
this is very typical of other Emma
3:59
waterways ship so if you see other Emma
4:01
Waters ships you'll see that they look
4:03
very similar to this and many of them
4:05
are very similar elaborate if you watch
