Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was excellent and had a bend of local dishes from Hungary and Austria. The soups were exceptional as well.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Bringing in local groups from Bratislavia for 2 nights showed the quality of talent in the area. We also got to experience local restaurants in Budapest and enjoy musical groups as well.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone assisted us and made the cruise excellent in spite of not leaving the dock. The Cruise Director did on Outstanding job in rearranging the trip to make buses available for longer trips and even a 5 star hotel in Budapest.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

We were on lower floor, which stayed quite cool, due to being below water level.

Pros: So much beautiful architecture in Vienna, Melk, Budapest and Bratislavia

Cons: Our inability to leave the port, but fully understand the flooding on the Danube and its implications

Yeah, sometimes thinks happen that are not the cruise line's fault such as weather. Happy to read that your cruise went well.
