Viking Gullveig Review

Additional details
We chose this cruise as I always wanted to go on a river cruise. I did my research & knew about rivers being too high or too low, about be tied up to another boat etc. so I was prepared for the unexpected. We were going in November so I knew it would be rainy, cold & grey but we got a good price.
We flew thru Viking but elected to pay an extra $50 each so that we could pick our flights. We were so happy to have done this as our times were reasonable. Others on board had to be up and out by 3:30am for their departing flights.
We took the 3 night pre-cruise package in Prague. We were met at airport & reached the hotel (Sheraton) by 10:30am. We met with Viking rep. who was excellent. Our rooms were ready which was great due to jet lag. With the help of the Viking rep. we found an ATM and got Czech currency. Please note, you need to pay for public bathroom in Prague and most of Europe. The next day, we had a 5 hour bus/walking tour of Prague which I enjoyed. The next day, we had free time to explore Prague. The hotel was excellent, with full buffet breakfast that was very good. Viking Rep was available 7:00am -7:00pm.

Budapest
Decided not to take the inclued tour but went to the Christmas market and enjoyed it.
Nuremberg
We took the WWII tour which is extra but enjoyed it. You went to the museum held in the colosium and also to the court room where the nuremberg trials were held.
Regensburg
Ship could not dock in town due to rising river so we were bused into town while the ship moved up the river to be able to get under the bridges. The tour guide kept on saying in your free time, but talked so much we didn't have any free time. Since the ship was moving our choices were to be back to the bus at 12:30pm or stay until 4:00pm. We elected to take the 12:30pm bus back so ran to make sure we got the bus only to have it wait for stragglers. It took an hour to get back to the ship. People who stayed until 4 didn't get back to 5:30pm.
