    My wife and I enjoyed the Treasure of the Rhine cruise on the MC Crucevita through Crucemundo. The crew was great, after the first day they knew our preferences and treated us like they had known us for a longtime. They were pleasant, courteous and responsive. The level of service was perfect, attentive without being smothering. Special shout out to Hadi, Niko and Pavo. The ship was clean, and we never felt crowded or overwhelmed. We had space to enjoy the cruise and still interact with fellow passengers. Julia the cruise director was a breadth of fresh air, organized, customer focused and provided a historical perspective on our ports. We enjoyed the musical entertainment in the lounge provided by the talented George. The food was very good; the Halibut was amazing! Our room was kept clean, and was serviced when we were away, the only negative during the entire cruise was the water carafe in the room was not filled often and needed to have some cover placed over the top. We were hesitant to book a cruise through a company that we had never heard of, but everything was handled with care and a focus on making the customer happy. The staff anticipated our needs and were proactive in meeting them. If you are looking for a river cruise that is casual not stuffy and is customer focused, I would recommend Crucemundo!

    - Cabin rooms smelled like sewage, especially ones without open windows. - Two twin beds in main cabins are pull-down beds and are 3 feet away from each other by design. - Staff was not fluent in English nor Spanish. However, they did put in some efforts to accommodate the guests. - There was no telecoms in the cabins, so it was easy for guests to miss the announcements. - Cruise Director Julia was terrible in providing excursion agenda information. She didn’t clarify what were included and what were not in the tours. She had the hightlights of the city on the back of the program papers without saying that they were not included in the excursions and that led the guests to wrong expectations towards the excursions. - Guests had to haul their luggage on board without any help and when the luggage are handed to staff, they didn’t mark our luggage with our room numbers or anything and just put them together in the pile. That gave us a very uncomfortable feeling of having them mixed up or lost. - We had meal drink packages, but didn’t get our glasses re-filled or tended professionally enough at the table. We had to look for the wait staff and wave him over to let him know that our glasses were empty. - On-board entertainment programs were poor. Only about 45’ minutes of violin performance and a quick napkin folding “show”. - Guests were not informed about the Prirate Themed dinner until one day before the event and all guests had already been on board. Most guests couldn’t participate even they wanted to because they couldn’t get the costumes or props in time within a very limited 3 hours to shop while such time frame was supposed to be used for our city visit. Quite a disappointment to many. - The arrival destination was a misleading information. The ship did not arrive in Amsterdam as written on the itinerary when we purchased the cruise. It was only mentioned after we boarded. The final destination was Zaandam, which is about 20 kilometers away from Amsterdam. The guest were not provided any kinds of transportation to Amsterdam at the time of disembarkation. That was so unexpecting and disappointing to most guests. We were all very frustrated to have to make new arrangements for our own transportation to Amsterdam because most of us booked our accommodations or transportation in or from Amsterdam. Cruise Director Julia said that the reason they were not be able to stop in Amsterdam was because of some issues that had been going on since three years ago. Guests were left wondering why the cruise operator did not inform the guests accordingly if they knew Amsterdam was not the arrival destination, especially this was an issue for at least 3 years. We felt like we were fed with misleading information on a lot of things. Such a big disappointment overall!!

    This was a great cruise overall. In particular the staff were fantastic, the food provided was plentiful and delicious, the stops chosen, tours given and tour guides provided were excellent and the boat was lovely. There were also a few negatives though. In particular I really objected to being charged €10 for 1Gb or 1 day whichever expired first for relatively slow WiFi. We've been travelling around the world now since March. We've been To 28 countries and stayed at 92 different hotels and hostels, some very basic. Every single one, with the only exception of the Crucivita, offered free WiFi. It wasn't always fast or reliable but it was always free. On our cruise, my wife and I found ourselves skipping parts of the tours in Strasbourg, Heidelberg, Cologne and Amsterdam so we could catch up with events on social.media when we walked through free WiFi hotspots in cities, often near cafes but sometimes not. I started really resenting having to do that. It left a bad taste in my mouth that the cruise tried to get money from.us in this way. Another problem was the fixed seating arrangements for lunch. The four Americans we shared a table with 15 times throughout the week were nice folk but it really put a strain on our civility when we found out, half way through, that they were Trump supporters. It would be good if there was an option to sit at a table of your choice for some meals or something. Finally, our room was towards the back end of the boat and so we had the engine noise pretty bad some nights. But overall, it was great. Thank you.

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      Unfortunately I will be unable to go on your tour - I am a Coeliac and get really sick if I eat anything that could have the slightest bit of gluten. I go on cruises that have separate place in their kitchens for Coeliacs (gluten free people) so as we don't get contaminated.
