    We highly recommend UniWorld cruises. The service and staff are impeccable, the daily tour offerings are well planned with knowledgeable tour guides, the meals well prepared and delicious, the accommodations clean and comfortable and the cost well worth paying a bit extra because the cruise is truly all inclusive. There are no hidden fees.

    The ship was in good shape, except for the fact that the elevator broke after the first day of the cruise and it was out for the rest of the cruise. The staff on board was excellent as was the food. It would have been nice to have had more local Dutch dishes included in the menu. The big disappointment was the availability and quality of the excursions. Two of the excursions that we asked to go on were unavailable. One of them was the Ann Frank House. The activity director explained that tickets had been ordered months in advance and that more were not available. He also said that only 14 were available at the start of the cruise. The Ann Frank House is a major attraction; and with 84 guests on the ship, it should have been clear in advance that more tickets would be needed. The trips that were available were poorly planned, with very long bus rides to have very short time at disappointing attractions. The guide for our trip to see windmills took us to cheese making and wooden shoe making demonstrations, which were interesting. However, she then left us to explore the windmills (which were what we came to see) on our own.
