Fleuve51 Posted March 28, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Got our documents yesterday for the May6th sailing on the Amadagio. we received a beautiful bag printed with a picture of the Danube & a casltle. Inside ,another zippered bag for the documents & even a wallet sized bag, clipped inside for security. Very impressive. There are 2 small colored guide books, detailing everything we need to see & do on the Danube & Rhine. Now , I am getting excited. Sounds like a wonderful trip. Who else is joining us?

Rare Coral Posted March 28, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Eileen, Yea! That means my Russian documents will be coming in a few weeks :) I leave May 30th. Does it appear that the guide book and bag was a gift from Amadeus or from your travel agent? Theresa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleuve51 Posted March 28, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted March 28, 2007 the travel bag is a gift from Amadeus. Our agent says it's the nicest she has seen( even on the high end cruise ships). Thanks Buck--I am really looking forward to it. What month did you go? Eileen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckland Posted March 29, 2007 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2007 We sailed in the last two weeks of September. One of the couples we met on board just sent us a video of the trip. It was like going there all over again. Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsgo39 Posted March 30, 2007 #9 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Fleuve, Amsterdam has a hop on hop off canal boat cruise that appears to go to all the best things to see. I think it is good for 24 hours and should give you a nice overview of the city.You could get off and back on anyplace you wish. I suggest you find out what places you will see on your included city tour and visit other places that are not included. Volendam is a charming very small town that is very pretty and touristy.You probably also stop at a cheese farm and windmill on the same trip You can walk from one end of Volendam to the other end in about 20 min.There is a really nice restaurant there down at the end of the boardwalk.. Globus has the Volendam trip as one of their optionals on a coach tour while staying in Amsterdam... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyfeds Posted April 2, 2007 #15 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Fleuve, I hope you will also visit the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frank House, all of which are must-sees when in Amsterdam. If you are adventursome diners, Amsterdam has fantastic Indonesian restaurants, the best being Tempo Doeloe. Try their rice table, which is a sampling of pretty much everything on the menu. It's fantastic. Amsterdam is a beautiful city. Have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted May 5, 2007 #16 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Fleuve, I received my documents this week. I had one large bag with a white churge and gold onion domes on it and along with a change size purse along with a travel wallet. They all are in that black design with the white/gold church scene on it. I had one book inside that was designed for our Amadeus cruise. It is pretty good.
