We love river cruises because of the constant beautiful scenery and the slower, more relaxing pace. This cruise was no exception ... and the weather was very agreeable, too! The crew members all did a fantastic job in anticipating our every want and need, and even worked hard to make an unforeseeable situation (one of the bridges near the end of our cruise was hit and damaged by a previous vessel, so we were unable to cruise to our final port) be as manageable and enjoyable as possible. We saw some fantastic cities when we were in port. In addition to having the opportunity to visit many sites in these cities as a group, we also had ample opportunity to meander the streets independently. Our cabin was very comfortable, although we were too busy to spend much time in it! The food was superb ... and there was PLENTY to eat, all day and all night, if desired! (Thanks for the Andes mints available 24/7!) I don't think there was a single cruise member that didn't smile and greet us each time we saw them, even if it was a dozen times a day. We are already booked for another cruise in 2019 ... and wish that it was here already! Happy cruising!

Cabin Review

Cabin AAG

Our cabin was on the back corner, by choice, so that we could have a view to the side as well as the back, since windows were on both. PERFECT! The room was large enough to be quite comfortable, although it would have been nice to have more than one chair. The bathroom was large enough, but it would have been nice to have a couple hooks, both in the bathroom (for clothing and towels) and in the bedroom (for coats). We had our own thermostat, making the temperature comfortable to our needs. Very clean!
