As we had previously cruised north on the Danube from Novi Sad to Vienna we decided we would like to cruise south towards the Black Sea on another cruise. The cruise with the war correspondents clinched it.

We loved the ship but found the dining room very noisy, hard for me as I am hard of hearing. Some more soft furnishings and may be fewer passengers would have made it better.The food was interesting and excellent. I have a mushroom allergy and every day I received a personal menu in the cabin during the morning with dishes I couldn't eat highlighted. My husband and I both celebrated our birthdays and were treated to a cake and firework at dinner and special towel sculptures and a card in the cabin.

The cabin was spacious and the drop-down window useful when taking photos but the weather was not good enough to take full advantage of that facility.As we arrived at the ship very late due to flight delays we missed the briefing and no one offered a "catchup" one so we had to find out a few things for ourselves. We did not find the tissues in the cabin until asking for some the second day and we were told they were in the cupboard in the bath room which was hidden behind the mirror- not at all obvious!

Cabin Review

Cabin Panorama balcony

Good size. Light and airy with drop-down window and small table and chair next to it to provide the feeling of a balcony but not really worth the extra money for an autumn cruise as it was too cold to have the window open except for taking photos. Plenty of storage space, better than other cruises we have been on.Gown and slippers provided but the slippers were too narrow for both of us to use.
