Uniworld River Ambassador - Floriade Cruise - May 20-27th, 2012
Preface to this review: I have been on a number of “ocean” cruises before I took my first river boat cruise. I do NOT like ocean cruises because they are "factories" and passengers are only a "product" although I have found them useful/beneficial in only ONE way: they provide a brief taste of a country or place - perhaps enough to judge whether or not you want to return.
This was my second river boat cruise. It was notable in so many ways, both good and bad, that it deserves a thorough review.
Cabin Review
Standard Stateroom with Window
One word “claustrophobic.” MEN, NO ROOM to STAND to pee! Not to be funny, but I needed to move the toilet paper holder/toilet brush holder into the shower in order to stand in front of the commode. 128 square feet is NOT adequate; this Is NOT “BOUTIQUE” even if “recently remodeled.”I imagine in order to conserve fresh water, the pressure to the shower head was severely restricted. While Uniworld had refurbished the cabins with modern “rain” style removable shower heads, there was insufficient water pressure to point the head upwards as in washing your arm pits!Noise level - horrendous - engine, locks, deck sounds even one level down, etc.
