Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was good not great, portions were small.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Not a lot to do on a river cruise, unless you were traveling and watching the scenery, going through the locks was outstanding especially to get into Budapest.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The nightly discussions on the next day's activities are a must attend and some entertainment was available on certain nights.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All were exceptional.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Overall, it was nice but a little smaller than ocean cruise cabins.
