We chose the Mozart for our first river cruise because we have done quite a few ocean cruises with Crystal and after a lot of research it seemed that a lot of ocean cruisers seem to be disappointed by the established river cruise lines. We are thrilled with our choice and are extremely impressed by how Crystal rolled out such a beautiful ship in a very short timeframe and with standards of dining and service matching those of the ocean ships.
We arrived in Vienna around noon, were met by the Crystal reps and taken to the pier very promptly on one of the Crystal tour buses. Embarkation was a breeze and we were having our first lunch on board at The Blue Grill within minutes.
Our cabin was a fixed window category on Deck 1 (bottom of the window is at water level) measuring 219 sf, beautifully appointed with a King size bed, full size flat screen tv, iPad and with a tight but luxurious bathroom including a Toto toilet. We found the size of the cabin, storage and bathroom tight but adequate.
Beautifully appointed but only had fixed windows. We also missed a bathtub but these are only available in PH and Crystal suites.
Very good except for a couple of incidents which compromised the quality of the excursions.
