Review summary

Black Forest stop took us to a commercial store beside a highway 👎 Views while cruising are nonexistent until Middle Rhine. 👎. Lots of walking needed at each port to get to the transportation. Too much $ for fine dining. We prefer land travel to be closer in towns. Next time we would take a local day ship in the Middle Rhine & travel by train in the region!!! Too much ship time, not enough local time without paying more for the optional trips 👎

Impeccable cleanliness. Beautiful design. French balcony room is very small & has no chairs to sit. Have to sit on bed.

Bed very comfortable. Toiletries were plentiful. Very small with no chairs, only a vanity backless stool. Very clean. Last day the towels were no replenished.
