We've been on ocean cruises before but this is so much better since you can see the countryside as you're sailing.
Budapest was a great starting point, we spent a couple of days ahead and enjoyed it...so different than we expected and the city is certainly the highlight of the Danube. We especially loved the night cruise.
The ship is well set up. The room layout efficient and effective. The dining room was great and the food was excellent. It was also great to see local dishes and entertainment on board and the wine!! Service was excellent. It was great to have a pool onboard as well as a theatre. The sun deck was too hot on most days due to the exceptionally warm weather. But the cruise through the Rhine gorge was the best viewed from the sundeck and great that the weather was excellent!
Very good city tour and castle area.
Palace tour was very good... too bad we couldn't take inside photos.
