Five ways to SAVE $$
For our group cruises that have the Complimentary Land, be aware that it could go away once promotions change in March. Don't take the risk, place your deposit before promotions change on March 31.
Also, after the River Cruise Expo in March, I am sailing with Amawaterways for one night with owner, Rudi Schreiner, and I plan to purchase more future cruise benefits. I want to offer you an additional 5% off of your cruise fare along with the complimentary land, to offer you the best deal possible!
Need me to sweeten the deal more? Refer a friend promotion is running starting today allowing you to earn cash just for traveling with your friends!!
OH WAIT! There's more, if you choose to do these two cruises back to back, there is a 10% discount on the second cruise. By doing back to back cruises, you only purchase your air once. Why not add the AirPlus promotion to this as well, air for $999 per person to Europe!!
Don't miss these opportunities!

Hand Warmers!
You may notice most of my group sailings are in the off season. So, it's chilly. My last two trips I've taken I used these hand warmers in my pocket. Life saver. I did a bike excursion and we were out until after dark and my hands got cold. I just put them in my pocket while I was biking and I was fine.
I highly recommend! I'll have mine in Vienna!
| |  |
I am purchasing 20 more in Vienna, get ready to get yours before they are gone! |

Preparing for your cruise
| |
Now that you've deposited your cruise, what's the next step?
You will want to login to the top of the Amawaterways page under "Your Cruise" to fill out your emergency contacts and your health questionaire.
Once that is done, you can just plan what you will pack and sit back and get excited.
At around 60 days from your trip, you'll want to download the MyAma app and login with your booking ID. Here you'll get to choose your excursions. This is where it gets exciting! But don't fret, if you change your mind about which excursions, you'll be able to do that right up until you walk on the ship. Your cruise manager will help you with that.
Around 30 days out form your trip, your cruise documents will be ready, and accessible on the app as well. Here you'll get all the details, of where the ship will be, where to find an Ama rep at the airport etc. Read through these thoroughly!
Once your exiciting day comes that you finally get to your starting destination, that's where the magic happens. Make sure when you board the ship to make your reservations for the Chef's Table. Did you know you can borrow a curling iron at the Reservatios desk? You sure can!
And did you know that you can board the ship as early as 9 am? You can, although your room may not be ready until 3 pm. You can have a snack and a drink and meet your fellow cruisers.
I hope you have an upcoming river cruise to get excited about. If not, contact me and we can find you your perfect itinerary!
Happy Sailing!!
