WHAT’S the better – an ocean voyage on a super liner or a boat on the river? For me the river boat wins hands down.

My wife and I are not long back from a Uniworld cruise from Amsterdam to Vienna along the Rhine, Main, and Danube Rivers and had a simply wonderful time among those “castles on the Rhine, candlelight and wine” and twio weeks of total pampering.

It was our first experience of a small boat cruise after a trip on a big ship – the Celebrity Eclipse.

Cabin Review

Standard Stateroom

Cabin 4

The state rooms weren’t large – we had our French Balcony room on the top deck – but they were nicely decorated with lots of mirrors and the beds comfortable. I felt that the rooms though could have been roomier with a queen bed rather than the king. The rooms were serviced every day with turn down at night,We did have problems with the room: twice the toilet flooded and unfathomably the cabin lights switched themselves on during the night or early in the mornings, which made for some disturbed sleep. A few other passengers suffered too.We discovered later that all the lights were on wifi and the signals were getting crossed. They would be hard wired at the end of the year we were informed.
