Rooms were comfortable and spotless. Staff extremely hospitable and helpful. Food was great! It was always fun choosing either a full meal or going to the deck for a lighter faire. Meals were theme- planned for each port and portion-appropriate. Servers were very attentive. The wine was generous and delicious. The Cruise Director really "made" the cruise exceptional. He was fun, interesting and informative. We had a wonderful time. Only down side was the weather was a little rainy and cold some days however we made the best of it. Umbrellas were always available and the crew tried to make the excursion exceptional no matter what the weather was. Each excursion was professional and informative. The best day was cruising down the Rhine and seeing the beautiful vineyards and castles. Words cannot describe how beautiful and relaxing it was. We have the most beautiful pictures and memories. We will do it again!
