The only thing you have to think about is what you want to eat. The staff does everything for you that needs to be done. Excellent chefs. Food is so good. Wine selections are superb. Just they need to have more easer shore excursions for elderly or handicapped passengers. Otherwise everything else is just perfect. Disembarkation and embarkation is very smoothly run. Cabins are small but you will not be staying in the cabins that long. Children would not like to cruise on a riverboat because there in not much for children to do.. This was my 4th river boat cruise and I would definitely go again. This time I sailed to France, France is not as pretty as other countries like Austria, Germany and Hungary. Since we stayed in Lyon for 2 days, I explored that city the next day. Lyon is the city that I had to embark on.
