6-10 Cruises • Age 50s

My wife and I had been unable to due our traditional ocean cruising for a few years, and decided to splurge on a more expensive river cruise through several European countries we would normally not be able to visit. - note to future passengers: the rooms are almost exactly the same size, regardless of the cost. Choose wisely. The crew of the Emerald Sky were absolutely top notch, and I have ...

8 close friends had originally booked this tour in late 2020. The Pandemic pushed it, and it took two years to finally sail. Veterans of many ocean cruises, this was our first river cruise. The Danube Explorer- Passau to Budapest with 3 added days in Prague and 3 more in Budapest. We had high expectations. A few were met. Many weren’t. I have to let you know, we are NOT picky travelers. As long ...

We are experienced river cruisers and usually love the on board experience, our cruise on the Sky was the opposite. We transferred from the Star due to low water levels and the experience could not have been more different. The ship wasn't full but the noise levels in the restaurant were intolerable. Groups of younger Americans competed to see who could make the most noise, including whooping ...

This was our first river cruise and we were hugely anticipating the adventure. It started wonderfully well in Amsterdam on the Emerald Star. The first week was excellent - great staff, great food, clean and comfortable boat. Then, because of low river levels, we had to be bussed to join the Emerald Sky for our second week and to join the 120 guests already on that ship (we had been ...

There were 8 family members in our group from Nuremburg, Germany to Budapest, Hungary from June 7-14, 2019 on the Emerald Sky. We are disappointed in Emerald Waterways in many ways: 1) They did NOT inform us that the river boat locks were broken until the ship LEFT the docks and were changing the itineraries on us. They did NOT give us an opportunity to decide whether we wanted to be on this ...

We booked an elegant river cruise and got a mediocre bus tour. My wife and I boarded the Emerald Sky in Amsterdam on September 29 on a scheduled 15 Day “Splendours of Europe” river cruise. This ship was a replacement for the Emerald Sun that was unable to complete it’s previous cruise due to low water levels on the Danube. We were most disappointed with the latter portion of our “cruise”. We ...

Poor food, poor entertainment. Good shore excursions and transfers. Clean cabin

A first ever boat cruise after a dozen sea cruises. Of course the facilities had to be fewer even though I have usually sailed on relatively small ships, 600-800 passengers. A bar pianist was really it or a movie in your cabin on the well sized tv. Two of 7 nights we had buffet dinner bun fights for the main meal. Never ever had cafeteria food on a cruise before. Of the remaining 5 nights the ...

We were booked on emerald sun. We were told that they had informed us of the change of ship by email. I did not get that email. The ships are the same however because we spent two days in Budapest prior to boarding it presented a problem because we could not easily contact the ship to see where it was. When I phoned the sun ship I realised something was wrong because they said it was in ...
