We are currently in Prague, and will be leaving for the ABD Danube trip tomorrow! It is the AmaViola, a similar ship to what we will be on next summer. I will report back on the ship details, with pics if possible. We have a verandah, so I will try to get feedback from others on the rooms without. To be honest, we may not even be on the ship that much! Will let you know what I learn!

@lola1972 @SCFamily4 thank you for the inputs. i upgraded to Cat C with french balcony . I guess having fresh air will be better. We are very excited on this river cruise.We are on the AmaViola now, which (from what I understand) is similar to the ship that we will be on for the Rhine cruise. We booked a 200-level room with a verandah. I have gone out on the veranda exactly 4 times in the past 6 days. Many times at port, you are docked side to side with another ship. So close you can almost touch! And most of the cruising has been at night. We had one day with some lovely day cruising and we watched from a higher floor. The top floor is so nice to sit and watch - and there are many canopies for shade. I probably would have been fine with a lower floor. The nicest thing about the room is how much natural light we have - Windows basically on one wall. Curtains are plenty dark if needed.
