River Beatrice Review

Additional details
We enjoyed a one week Christmas Market cruise on the River Beatrice, going from Passau to Budapest December 2, 2012
Ship: The ship is well designed and very nicely appointed. The public areas are beautifully decorated and comfortable. The dinning room could use more small tables, as most are tables for 8 and you almost have to shout to talk to someone across the table. The overall noise in the dinning room is louder than the River Countess or River Duchess.
Staterooms: This is where the ship really excels. We had a suite and it was superb. The room was large, and well designed. There was an abundance of closet space. The decorating was top notch. The bed and chairs were both very comfortable. The bathroom was of a nice size and well designed. Shower was larger than any river cruise boat, though the water pressure was terrible (more latter).
Cabin Review
Suite with French Balcony
The cabin was fabulous. It was large, well designed and beautifully decorated. It included a coffe/expresso maker and large flat screen TV. The bathroom was large for a river boat. Water pressure needed to be better in the shower. The bed and chairs were extremely comfortable. I would not purchase a suite based on the "Butler" service, but if space and comfort are important, I would recommend it. The suite also included daily laundry service, which was wonderful.
