Review summary

One of the best part of this cruise was the people we met on board.  This was an unexpected pleasure.  Also Program Director Mircea was fantastic.  Our tours and tour guides were exceptional though at times it was like drinking out of a fire hose.  So many facts, facts, facts...A few of the tour guides could shorten up their descriptions and add a few stories, particularly in Vienna.  A rich history I know but we are only going to remember a few things so give us the high points.  Mostly though the tour guides were fantastic.  As for improvements, mostly the food was great with a few exceptions.  The vegetarian food on the Aegir was really quite awful.  The chef is clearly talented but needs some remedial training on preparing edible vegetarian meals.
