We chose this cruise to see the tulips at Keukenhof Gardens. This was our second Uniworld cruise and it was wonderful. Our first cruise was on the Maria Theresa and we wondered whether Uniworld’s excellent service would continue. It did. This cruise was on the River Princess which holds 130 guests and 41 crew. There were only 78 passengers and nothing ever felt crowded. The entire crew was extremely friendly and helpful. By the second day, it seemed every crew member knew you and greeted you by name. Whatever you needed was taken care of immediately. Our cruise director was wonderful and the local guides in each city were excellent. Food and beverages were delicious and plentiful. Although this was a smaller ship, our cabin (207) had plenty of room and storage space was plentiful. We were met at the airport by the Uniworld hostess who told us that it would be about a ten minute wait for the car to drive us to the ship. Once the car arrived, the driver took our luggage and drove us to the ship. After a quick check-in we enjoyed a delicious lunch, went to our cabin and unpacked. Although the shower contains a dispenser for shampoo, shower gel and body lotion, we prefer bar soap. Our room steward provided this immediately. On Uniworld, any request is promptly taken care of. A typical day:

6-11 am: Coffee and pastries in the patio.

7 am: Morning yoga
