This was our second cruise with Uniworld. It met all of our expectations and then some. After our experiences on our first cruise, our expectations were high. While I admit I haven't cruised with other lines, those that I talked with who have ay Uniworld does it better. The food, the service, the rooms and the "all-inclusiveness" are truly #1. We enjoyed shore excursions daily. We toured two small towns in France which was too much for the time allotted. We could have spent the entire morning in one of the towns and still not had enough time! Castles along the Rhein was a great cruise that took us from Amsterdam through stops in Germany and France ending in Switzerland. This cruise has a good mix of cruising on the river and stopping at interesting cities. Weather in May turned out to be milder that we were expecting. Temps were in the high 60s to low 70s during the cruise. Uniworld does it right. I am looking forward to our next cruise with Uniworld.

Cabin was nice. While small in comparison with a hotel room, it was adequate for our needs.
