A-ROSA commented on this reviewDear Susan, thank you so much for your excellent review. We’re glad you enjoyed your cruise! We would be very happy to welcome you back on board for another cruise soon. Best regards, A-ROSA TeamTrip date: November 2025- SSsteven· October 15th, 2025Our overall impression of Douro Experience 2025 (or first experience of a River Cruise vacation) was excellent, however there are some improvements we believe are needed... TourRadar staff were always timely in responding to questions! On the plus side, all ships staff (from Cruise Director on down) were consistently courteous and helpful in every respect and every regard! During the booking phase, we found interaction between TourRadar website and punch-out to A-Rosa website was problematic at times (duplicated excursion bookings in particular, as well as incorrect information transfer to/from ships manifest). Tour is advertised as offered in German AND English and although signage and menus were translated equally, lounge cultural presentations and guide narratives were definitely strongly slanted to German (based on length of presentations, English was experienced to be clearly second tier). Furthermore, the English translation of food buffet items from German was on a second (and almost unreadable smaller font ) second line. Food was consistently well prepared and inviting, however there are definite improvements needed we observed as experienced with regard to my wife's "gluten sensitivity" dietary constraints - yes there is a gluten free bread offering readily available but no gluten free "pastry" offerings (identified as such)? Although the main entree offerings are clearly identified as to all contained allergens, none of the "salad bar", appetizer, or desert offerings are similarly identified!? We greatly appreciated our Dining Room Stewardess (Ms. Anna's) diligence in running back and forth to the kitchen to ascertain (and advise) which items would be acceptable to a gluten restricted dietary regimen. Embarkation (and disembarkation) procedures were well planned and worked smoothly! Again, overall a wonderful experience, with some need for improvements....Show moreA-ROSA commented on this reviewDear Steven, thank you so much for your review.
