Review summary

Almost everything was great:  itinerary, cabins, shore excursions, guides, atmosphere, staff, crew, ship,

Improvement was needed: (1) Food was not great.  Due to water levels in the Danube, we needed to switch ships halfway through the cruise (our original ship returned to it's origin as did the new ship we boarded.  I could not find a meal I likes on the first ship; just the opposite on the second ship. [By the way, the switch in ships went flawlessly including having the same cabin in the second as we did in the first.]  (2) Could have used on-board more lectures about the history, culture, economy, etc. of where we were.  (3) Free beer was great but they should have offered local beers instead of American brands (a real lost opportunity).  (4) What they called "entertainment" was not sufficiently plentiful nor was it very entertaining.

Thanks for the review!  Agree that local beer would definitely add to the experience!

What ship did you switch to?  Was it just like Viking Ingvi?  (Would you say they were too much alike?)
