This was far more of a floating hotel than a cruise, although the "hotel" itself was very nice. The ship is fairly new, well appointed and the staff were fantastic. Our complaint about the ship itself was the fact that the bed was very uncomfortable and the linens felt like sandpaper. The staff were very attentive, helpful and accommodating. The itinerary sucked!! The ship moved a few miles up and down a couple of nasty-looking muddy rivers to various "ports", all of which required bus transportation to get to the "attraction", which, every day, required tips to the "tour guides" and drivers. We don't mind tipping for service, but it was every day and got old after a while. The food was good, but certainly not great. Entertainment was non-existent.
