Review summary

Definitely recommend extra days in Budapest and Prague. Both great cities with great people. Tours are early but well managed. They could improve the information on tour departures. Generally the were 5-10 minutes earlier than the written material stated. One tour did not include the organ concert as stated in the tour description.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Restaurant was disorganized. A loud chaotic experience. Luckily there was another small area to eat that was quiet, with the same menu and great service. Food was good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Activities were good but area for gathering was cramped. Being a river boat there are few athletic activities.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Room stewards great. Waiters very pleasant and helpful but going in all directions at once.
