This was our first cruise and I was really surprised. I anticipated that it would be very nice but there simply wasn't anything that could be improved. The staff, meals, excursions were all excellent. It's a carefree way to get to see lots of places and be pampered all along the way. Everything was so professionally done. We really enjoyed it.

The ship was very clean and well kept. The cabins are small but just what you would expect, plus having the balcony was wonderful. Being on a ship travelling through locks was a new experience for us; really interesting!

The river cruise is a vacation where you can have something to do almost all the time, or you can opt out of a few things and take it easy and enjoy the ship. We went on all the excursions and were glad we did. If/when we visit Germany again, we know the places we'd like to explore further. I took so many photos of castles!
