I lived in Germany for 20 yrs. and was unable to tour these countries ! The cruise was very relaxing and not to much rushing around. The food was excellent and service great.the tours were also very interesting . I'm a little handicapped ,and my cabin was on the floor below reception and no elevator ! But everyone was helpful with the walker being taken up and down the stairs ,but it made me dependent on others ! My greatest joy was visiting all the Christmas markets in each country ! They are quite different from those in Augsburg and Nuernburg Germany ! The walking tours were not to bad ,my walker made it but I sure could have used some shock absorbers in the handles, my shoulders got a workout ! The beds quite comfortable ,slept well, no motion sickness! All in all a very good time on my first cruise up the rivers of Europe .

I flew from Dallas/Ft.Worth Texas to Budapest ,Hungrey . There was someone there to meet us and take us to see some sights before going to the ship. Didn't hVe to worry about our luggage ! We did an extended tour to Prague, and they were there to pick us up for the bus ride . The hotel was the Cornthia and the room was excellent ! They provided transportation from hotel to center town every day we were there and excellent food. Had lots of time to shop,site see and eat ! They took us to the airport for departure back to the USA. Nothing to declare at customs ! Family waiting at airport. V.J.Marcum.
