Additional details
If you have any hesitations about booking this new cruise line...don't have them! This was such a fantastic experience in every way. This was only our 2nd river cruise (we did an Oberoi Nile tour a few years ago) but we have done many luxury ocean cruises. Wow, after this, we may not go back to ocean-liners.
First, this ship is brand new. Everything was sleek, clean and perfect....and I am picky. We had an "Owner's Suite," and initially I was worried about how small it was. But honestly, we got used to it. And now after the 14 days, I see why the rooms and so forth need to be small. These ships efficiently use every bit of space, because the boats cannot be any bigger, or they will not fit into the locks.
We were very lucky to have good weather. We had no problems at all. The ship does an amazing job of coordinating activities and providing plenty to do. There are a variety of extra activities you can sign up for. One that I did was a 30k bike ride in Austria. OMG this goes down as one of the TOP five things I have ever done!
Cabin Review
Room was great. Liked the patio with open window. Liked the contemporary design. Liked the Nespresso machine. Bed comfortable. Pillows good (they have a pillow "menu") Closet nice size. Being someone who usually stays in a Master Suite on a cruise ship, this is a very small room. But it was just fine for us. It is right down the hall from both the pool and the lounge area. They have a nice hot beverage machine in the lounge and it is just down the hall a few steps. TV was nice, internet good.
