The accommodation was very comfortable, the lounge, dining room or the top deck were well appointed, we have never had better waiters than the one we had, the food was good, although the dinners were of average standard, The wines were plentiful and were of good quality and great variety. The shore excursions were well organized, with remote address system we had time to look, be informed and take photos or videos. The local entertainer was very good, bit too fancy presentation of the different tunes. The gypsies were fabulous. The tour director was friendly, helpful, informative and made the cruise ever so enjoyable. The evening information session was well attended and were most enjoyable. The optional excursions, with the exception of the Viennese concert, were a waste of money and time. The highlight of the tour was a night cruise in Budapest. Driving around Budapest also was the highlight of the tour. There was a gym, but it was too small, with good, but few equipment and seemed to be occupied most of the mornings before the shore excursions. The company of the fellow travelers was excellent. We Aussies got on very well with the Canadians and exchanged e-mail addresses for future contact. All in all we highly recommend this tour as not only safe, also very interesting and esthetically impressive.
