The cruise was all inclusive and had good reviews. The lack of forced tipping, nickel and diming on things like excursions, and sodas and cocktails was refreshing. I have never seen a more gracious and concerned crew. Everyone was most helpful and congenial. Also every meal was expertly done and the presentation was beautiful. I had heard some not too flattering things about the other major river cruise line and am definitely staying with Uniworld. Two travel agents on the same trip confirmed that Uniworld is the way to go.

Our room attendant was exceptional and always called us by name. The wine flowed freely and the bartender remembered our preferred beverage. The inclusive tours were handled by experts that were very well spoken in English and we had plenty of free time but not too much for those of us who do not shop.

The entertainment was nice, as we are not into large shows. We are mature adults and did not travel with children, but the ship did offer three levels of activities. They were very organized for embarkation and disembarkation. We did not add days before the cruise nor after, but the additions were available. Our only problem was the fact that we wanted to stay a couple of days in One city and our agents did not know how to make it happen. The cabin was small but they had a wonderful lounge available at all times during the day. The trip was at the beginning of the season so the top side was too chilly but well kept. W will travel and recommend Uniworld.
