Fabulous trip on the Rhine river.

Uploading pictures to an album is absolutely horrible, you can only upload 1 photo at a time instead of being able to select and upload multiple photos. Also, when you are connected to the internet and are uploading previously taken photos, half the time they won't be added/uploaded, my solution was to disconnect for wifi and add all the photos to the app then connect to the wifi to upload them all at once.

Perhaps this app works fine when the cruise goes to plan, but if your itinerary is disrupted, it's essentially useless: there's no longer any information about your itinerary or available activities, and I have no idea how you'd share your pictures tied to location and such. When I tried to look at the itinerary after learning of the disruption, I got the original for several days with no change. Once it took notice of the change, it simply presents a message redirecting you to a generic web page with information not specific to my pre- or post-tour extensions (very confusing). This page never changed as things continued to change throughout the cruise (we were able to start as originally intended, and we stopped at a different place). It takes no notice of my personal activity selections as best I can recall from before the cruise either. It also turned out that one of the activities was erroneously included from the summer in the print materials (too dark in the fall, and a substitute was offered instead). A shame this app couldn't correct the misinformation... The one part of the app that continued to work was the daily cruiser display, but that didn't become available at a consistent time (even as the paper edition was always available regularly). Once it didn't become available until halfway into the day of (usually it's available the evening ahead). It is also only available for the cruise itself, not extensions. There's also a bug: the bottom is hidden by the on screen buttons, but you can work around this by zooming in. How well that works depends on how much blank space there is at the bottom. Another bug: it can't reliably remember which days have already been downloaded. I can only imagine what the rest of the app would have been like had the cruise gone to plan. As much as Ama pushes the app in their pre cruise materials, it's obviously an afterthought. Fortunately most of their customers are old enough that they'd never notice or would assume it's their own fault.

This is a must to download prior to your cruise. This app is extremely helpful and has everything you need in one spot. If you are looking for the daily cruiser, information on shore excursions or port talks and want to share your travel photos with family and friends at home then download this now! Its easy to use and will help save you time!

Uninstalled mid-cruise as app is persistently tracking and sending background data on your every move (to whom and where I don't know). The "why" is the big question. In order to perform is stated job this spying and sharing of data is not a requirement. It could have been a good idea

This app is useful if one doesn't want to use the paper itinerary/information, or one wants to share their travels with others. I personally prefer paper but the app is helpful nonetheless. The most significant omission for this app is the total absence of pre or post cruise extensions. AMA markets them with the cruises and they are very popular -- judging by the two prior cruises that we have taken with AMA. We are just about to take our third. This is the main reason that I have given the app three stars. Extensions are part of the actual cruise for so many guests that their omission handicaps the relevance and overall value of this product to me.
