Review summary

Enjoyable and relaxing. Silver beverage package provided for a large number of intoxicated seniors trying to ensure they got the money’s worth on the last few days. Salsburg excursion was lengthly by bus. Nearly four hours. Needed time for bathroom breaks that tour guide did not want to provide. Food provided very mediocre. Not enough wait staff. Entertainment great.

Ship tip

Solo time on excursions was minimal. Need more time to explore the stops. Most port stops were long walks away from city centers, needed bus or taxi to get into city

Needed more free time. 20 minutes only free. Lots of walking. Great Mozart Concert. Maybe a little expensive for one hour 10 person orchestra. But excellent music.

Budapest, Hungary

Lots of free time. Excellent stop. Only mildly bad weather day in whole trip. Best tour guide of the trip.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Early wake up, 2:30 AM for 4:30 bus. Bags sat next to bus for nearly one hour in the rain. Not particularly a factor for my plastic bags.
