Cabin Review

Panorama Suite with French Balcony

Cabin P

I could not fault the cabin or the way it was laid out. Having the sliding glass doors (Juliet style balcony) is a great idea as then you don't lose any space in the cabin when the balcony is not in use. Bed extremely comfortable. I slept well every single night. Ensuite excellent with really good shower and plenty of hot water. Airline type flush on the W.C. was very efficient. Towels must have been changed at least 3 times per day. In the cabin itself whisper quiet air conditioning or heating with easy to use controls. Safe in the wardrobe again easy to use. Room under the bed for storage. All first rate (and I'm very hard to please!)

Port Reviews

Wurzburg

Lovely town and again a good walking tour

Nuremberg

Very good but no thanks to the guide on the Nazi rally grounds tour. She seemed way out of her depth and was not able to answer several questions asked about factual events regarding what the tour was about. The tour was provided as part of the cruise but had I been paying I would have asked for a refund.

Regensburg

Another very good walking tour here

Passau

good

Durnstein (Krems)

Good

Bratislava

Another very good walking tour and visit to the castle
