Cruise chosen for the itinerary, the ship, the cost, and the exploration opportunities offered. Everything about the ship itself was outstanding - all members of the crew were polite, helpful, and respectful. The amenities were enjoyable and the food was always good. The choices regarding meals were fantastic, and the settings were all pleasant. Everything went smoothly. It was the trip of a lifetime.
It was enjoyable to spend time in the embarkation city of Budapest before the cruise and the city of Amsterdam after the cruise. We would also enjoy exploring other cities on our own as part of another cruise. That allowed us to experience these two cities in two different ways. The ship crew was helpful to suggest how to experience Amsterdam after disembarkation.
It was nice to have an English speaking cruise. We would definitely choose another river cruise to explore other parts of the world.
Excellent cabin, always clean. The ability to open the floor to ceiling slider was a huge benefit. Very helpful for photography and video.
