Our stateroom was tight but comfortable. All the means were terrific. Cruising is a great way to tour parts of Europe. You take your room with you as you travel to each city so there is no packing/unpacking. Plus you don't have to spend time choosing and finding a restaurant for every meal That is already handled. The recreation director and his staff kept us fully informed of upcoming activities and handled unforeseen complications with ease. The chef described the menu for each evening meal. Every port had some unique aspect to keep your interest. My favorites were the WW2 tour, Strasbourg, and Cologne. Those were the two largest cities so there was much to see and we were given time to explore on our own. We took advantage of our time to actually eat in restaurants there to sample the French and German cuisine. The excursions were all really good. The excursion leaders were well informed and entertaining. I would recommend this cruise to anyone.
