Not the cruise lines fallut but the excursion to the Christmas market was horrible. Very crowded wall to wall people could barely move and shopping was impossible.

Thanks for sharing your river cruise details with us. Looking forward to being able to compare notes when we finish our first one. Danube is leading contender for our first.
