    The excursions were mostly drive-bys of buildings and centers. We would love to have seen. I would not get the excursions again for that reason. For instance, we couldn’t see the opera house in Vienna because it required advanced bookings. Well, I did an advance booking for the excursions in plenty of time for them to have booked a tour. In fact, our tour operator told us she does Tours of the Opera House all the time. Also, two of the highlights were coming into Budapest at night and seeing the lights, and going through the locks on the Danube. We were not told in advance that we would be seeing these things and I think that would’ve been extremely helpful. Finally, it was very, very difficult to understand the English translations given by the cruise directors. There were several times that we looked at each other and said what did they just say. It would be helpful if there was a printout to back up the information that was given. For instance, when the captain discussed the safety operations on the boat, we didn’t understand a word of it. So I looked for something in the booklet in the room and it also did not have anything about Safety. First time I’ve ever been on a ship that did not do that.

    The ship was comfortable and the staff, especially cabin and dining, were helpful, friendly and efficient. A couple of the smaller stops were less impressive than the larger cities, but all in all a reasonable value for money cruise

    Unfortunately going thru my booking options, I did see a drink package listed as an extra option, but couldn't find any place to sign up for it...only found the insurance option. If you offer a drink package as well as a tour package for Bratislava and Budapest, please send me the link.

      TravelerWritten August 2024

      I'd rather look a bit more until I find a cruise that offers the drink and bus-tour package at an extra cost. I'm planning already a year ahead and it has to be "solid". I don't want to get to this ship and be told "we don't offer those packages this year".
