Overall I had a great experience. Since this was my first river cruise (used to ocean cruises), it took a little bit of time to unwind and appreciate the slower (not boring) pace. Being able to dock right in the city center was great (and convenient) too. Since we were one of the first cruises since starting back "after" Covid, we only had half capacity so we were able to get to know almost everyone on board, staff included. Made some lifelong friends and can't wait to get on the river again!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Great! Gotta love when the crew greets you at the dock and takes your luggage for you. A light lunch was waiting for us onboard and we were free to explore the boats features.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The food was amazing (dining room and lounge) and I especially enjoyed the 7-course tasting menu in the "Chef's Table". The wine at meals was mostly great, with the exception of a night or two.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
The pool and outer deck looked great, but unfortunately with the weather we weren't able to utilize them. With other activities, they tried their best, however due to Covid regulations they were also limited.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
THe main piano player in the bar, was great! Also the ship brought on some local musicians and dancers as applicable to the port. Ocktoberfest, Viennese singer, Hungarian dancers/singers etc.
Children's Programs
No children on board.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Since we were only at half capacity, almost everyone got a little upgrade in room location, so that was wonderful. We also had a lot of specialized attention. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and always there to answer a question.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Not once did I find an area that wasn't shining.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
We were upgraded to cabin 223. While not a huge amount of space to move around, there was a great seating area as well as a balcony. Plenty of storage for clothing and the bathroom was spacious.
Disembarkation

Everything was done in an orderly manner. Cabin number called and your mode of transportation was awaiting you outside
