My husband and I just got home from a 12 day cruise down the Rhine/Mosel Rivers on the River Queen. We departed from Amsterdam and were looking forward to a relaxing cruise. The mix on board ship was 50% American, 40% Brits, and the balance English speaking guests from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. It was a great group of cruisers with about 75% representing first time River Cruisers.
The staff was pleasant, the ship fine other than they could have redecorated in more cheerful colors rather than the dark browns in every area of the ship, including the staterooms.
The food was average in our opinion, but as Americans I think we tended to want fresher, healthier foods rather than the cream laden cuisine typically served on board the River Queen.
We had one of four suites on board. The floor to ceiling windows were nice for cruising and seeing the countryside. The brown color scheme was a little depressing for our taste and the room lighting for reading was terrible. Lots of space for clothes. Only one 110V outlet, but better than none. Small but ok bathroom. Hallway could be noisy at mealtimes but otherwise quiet. Bathrobes and nice thick towels and complimentary toiletry items. If you are on the upper level we heard a jogger every morning at 5:30AM pounding on the sundeck. It stoppped after a week. I assumed the Hotel Manager got some complaints.
