Except for one thing, the cruise (Castles and Legends Tour) was perfect. Excellent food and service, everything top notch. The boat was very nice and the crew were superb top to bottom. The tour guides were also topnotch, and very well versed for our tours.

Only complaint was one of the optional tours we added, the Vienna Highlights tour. It was about $140 additional per person. Anyone thinking about this tour should not waste their time; just do the regular Vienna City Tour and add on Schoenbrunn Palace ($59 per person). With the Vienna Highlights tour, we got no time to shop or do our own exploring, which the City Tour did allow. The only difference was that our tour had an included lunch. It was a fixed menu (with pasta as the main course) and no substitutions. The lunch was VERY average and basically cost us an extra $80 per person, very disappointing, especially since we had to pass on the waltz class that was part of the Vienna Highlights package just to be able to see and go into some sites we would not have otherwise been able to do.

Notwithstanding that, I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone (just avoid the optional Vienna Highlights tour as mentioned above. Cabins were a bit smaller than I thought but, since we did not spend a lot of time there, not that much of an issue.
