It was our first river cruise and we really enjoy the experience so much that we want to go back soon.
First, it was not a easy embarkation due to the low level of the Danube at this time of the year. It was a exceptional situation that the staff took care of everyone on board during the cruise time. We had to embark at Passau instead of Nuremberg ...but they did make sure that we didn't miss anything from day one.
Big thanks and appreciation for our cruise director, Janos, who took care of us from Prague to Nuremberg to Passau. He was very accommodating to everyone on board. He had to make good decision and he did as well.
We took the last cabin at last minute. We had a nice deal and it was worth it. We didn't have a french balcony but there were a lot of traffic on the Danube and often we had to docked with other cruise ship so the view was not excellent anyway. We were impressed by the luxury and cleanliness of our room. We did enjoy more the outside and the all the facilities of the ship.
