Review summary

the trip over all was good but there were lots of good parts and not so good. Starting out positive, the crew and route was great. The people were very friendly and accommodating. The trip down the Rhine river was as beautiful as advertised. We ran in to an issue with the river being low and had to change ships as the ship could not pass. The crew handled it exceptional.

Now for the areas that could use "tweaking". With the price of the cruise the food and what the served could use some work. During the German day everything was Buffet and it took 20 minutes to get food through one line. They should have opened another line or serve red it as to order. Being that this was the last cruise of the season you could tell some of the people had already began thier vacation. The options were not very good and the buffet that they server during dinner is nothing more than help your self to what was being serverd in the dinning room. Snack and food was not available except during scheduled times so if you were not on thier time table you might go with out eating or have to leave the ship and fend for your self.
