- MWMeiping· December 30th, 2024Overall, it was a good trip. However, the explanation on the ship was bilingual in Spanish and English, but mostly Spanish. Thus, not much introduction when passing towns and cities along the Danube River was given. The food quality is ok but not too many selections. With the price, I think it is reasonable. The cabin is comfortable enough. We enjoyed it. The staff were very friendly.Show more
