Review summary

A nice cruise and worked well for multiple family members in different cabins. Everything was pretty good, very little was great, and little was terrible - with the exception of running aground in the middle of night and spending 13 or so hours on a sandbar missing the next port and seemingly shortening time at the following. Crew did best they could in those circumstances. Truly biggest criticism was lack of flavor in food. Perhaps catering to older clients this is necessary, or perhaps it is just a miss?

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Can only say food was fine. Nothing exceptional and for most part just on the bland side. Portions fine and number of options reasonable.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Onboard "activity" limited to small walking track and shuffleboard and a putting green. Not really looking for onboard activity though in river cruise

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Clean and modern, just enough space without being cramped, except shower which was tight for someone of average build (thin by American standards.)
