We traveled with a group of 12 friends and planned it a year in advance. We had a lower cabin that only had a window across the top. We spent little time in the room, so it was fine.

The food was great, offering local selections as well as tne usual chicken, steak, etc. I usually ate the Local choice and was never disappointed. Deserts were always great. Our cruise director was Chantal and she was fantastic, always waiting to meet your needs. Ports of call were all good as well as a river narration as we traveled down the Rhine and Danubes. Local walking tours had great local guides. Sometimes there wasn't much shopping time, but that was okay because some cities you had plenty of free time. It was our first river cruise and the 14 days seemed a bit long. It was a great way to see cities close up so now we know where we might like to go back.
