Review summary

I sea cruise a lot and this was my first river cruise experience. It was horrible. We were given the wrong port to embark. The ship was 8km from where we were told. I spent the first 2 nights looking at a skip outside the window, a further 4 nights looking at the dock wall. Entertainment is nearly zero, food is average, ship is tired and staff uninterested. A dreadful experience. We would have left the ship had we not been travelling with another couple.

I totally agree. Went on the same ship in June for our 50th anniversary. Budapest to Amsterdam. Countryside was beautiful! The ship itself, nothing to do . And , dining room is open 2 1/2 hrs for breakfast, lunch and dinner. No other food onboard. Never again. I will stick with my ocean cruises.
