First Time Cruiser, It Was... Fine.
"We had been planning a Rhine River cruise for years, but the pandemic pushed it off for a couple of years, so we were very excited to be finally able to embark on our first river cruise.IF we choose another river cruise in the future I would ABSOLUTELY choose Emerald Waterways, for the comfort and cleanliness of the ship, the excellent service staff, and the price point which gives incredible value...."Read More

Initial embarkation was straightforward, as the ship was docked adjacent to the port, but if this is not the case as we encountered later, it can be a matter of luck whether there is a straight walk through another ship, or if one has to climb to the sun deck, traverse two sun decks, and down again to the dock. As I am able to walk a few steps with assistance, this was less of a problem for me, ...

We were going to London for a family wedding chose this Emerald cruise mostly due to the dates and their solo cabins. The cruise included free airfare and since we were going to London, Emerald booked us flights to London rather than Prague, several days earlier, without any additional fees. We booked our own flight to Prague and still got the included transfer to the hotel. ...

The Cruise offered us access to particular countries / towns that we wished to visit. The Emerald Dawn offered the Cabin standard (Grand Balcony Suite) that appealed to us. A bit of a rocky start. The transport to ship was impossible to locate (for us and others). A broad range of excursions were offered. Recommend in particular the Skoda Tour ( of Slovakia in Communist times) and the ...

We had been planning a Rhine River cruise for years, but the pandemic pushed it off for a couple of years, so we were very excited to be finally able to embark on our first river cruise. The ship was lovely, very clean, nicely appointed stateroom with an exceptional amount of storage space, and a washroom that was just big enough. The shower was actually quite large, considering the size of the ...

Awful Customer Service

We booked this cruise because we got a good deal. But right from the beginning there was trouble. We put down our deposit, but then the deadline was approaching to pay the balance we could not get in touch. Our messages went unanswered and could not reach any person. We were getting nervous. Finally, a few weeks before the travel date we finally, after numerous calls, reached someone to pay. ...

We had travelled the Danube before with Emerald which prompted us to choose the Rhine cruise. The cruise ships were both excellent with superb service by all the staff and crew. The included trips were also well planned and well worth the money. The tour guides were well informed and the tours were very interesting. The one big complaint we all had was the travel arrangements getting to the ...

RELAXATION?

We chose this cruise for relaxation and panorama. We got plenty panorama but not much rest. The biggest problem was the departure times of the visits, 8am or 8.30am. We were 90% elderly people and like to lie in in the mornings, especially when on holiday. We could see no harm in the departure times being a little later, maybe 9.30am. Most tours were over well before the ship set sail again. We ...

It wasn't the cruise that I'd paid for

Having travelled with Emerald before (2014) and Because I love the Moselle & Rhine rivers, it was an obvious choice. However certain aspects were a severe disappointment. Day 6 Trier, awoke moored in a commercial dock next to a scrapyard, 15 miles from Trier, hardly much chance of a stroll ashore after the official tour. Day 7 Bernkastle, except it was Traben Trabach, 30 minutes by coach from ...

Very good itiniary, staff were on the ball except for one gentleman who was not with it and lacked interest in any customers. Ship was quality with all the mod cons. On a negative side we did not stick to the itiniary and docked in some obscure places. Explanation given was Viking have more ships than us? When advertising cruises make sure you have booked moorings for the dates you are ...

We chose Emerald as we had cruised with them previously and were very pleased with our holiday but the customer support pre cruise was nearly non existant An email from the company was received about 3 weeks prior to departure asking us to complete a couple of questions including who to notify in an emergency and for flight details - as they had booked the flights this appeared to be ...
