Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on S.S. Catherine

10+ Cruises • Age 50s
Uniworld packages 3 voyages together as "Ultimate France", this covers week 3.
There is no bistro on-board this ship & there were 147 passengers onboard - this might be why dining room service suffered during week 3.
Housekeeping:- cabin was clean and well maintained.
Food:
By week 3, it was very obvious that dishes at dinner were repeating weekly (eg; foie gras brioche, baked Alaska, ...

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Kadlin

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s
We selected the October 15, 2023 Viking River cruise Capitals of Eastern Europe on the Viking Kadlin based on our previous wonderful experience on the Waterways of The Tsars on the Viking Truvor. The day before we left for our Prague pre-excursion we received an email stating “As you may be aware, the Danube River is currently experiencing low water levels.” NO I was not aware of low water levels; ...

In week 2, I started to notice that many dishes were ...

We stayed at Marriott prior to trip. No one reached out to let us know we were not going on boat due to water level. We happened to reach out concerning transferring luggage. It was that moment that we learned that we wouldn’t board ship. There was a meeting to discuss issue. We were not initially invited. We rushed over and caught end of the meeting. We were lost. First day was a Budapest ...

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Gefjon

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s
Went with friends but little did we know it should have been called the Grand Bus Tour! Also take note about the Free Air Fare. We optioned for the Premium Economy Seats and paid 3 months in advance but guess what. We got bumped and Viking is now refusing to take any calls. Had to switch boats out in a cow pasture the mooring spots aren’t what you see in the commercials. More of a field or an ...

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on S.S. Bon Voyage

10+ Cruises • Age 50s
Uniworld packages 3 voyages together as "Ultimate France", this covers week 1.
Bon Voyage has a bistro that you could book for dinner instead of eating in the main dining room.
Housekeeping:- cabin was clean and well maintained.
There were 97 passengers aboard the ship and even though BV was a small ship, it never felt over crowded. About 30 passengers continued onto the next ...

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Baldur

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s
Overall we had an ok time, but I would never do this again. Maybe with a different company but our lovely 25th anniversary River cruise turned into ugly docking situations and bus rides. Not worth the price.
Initially, I did thorough research and knew low water levels may be a problem so I purchased the very high priced trip insurance that allows you to cancel for any reason. Unfortunately ...

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Travelmarvel Vega

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s
An opportunity arose to go back to travel from Budapest to Amsterdam. We did it in the reverse with Avalon (2018) which we enjoyed. We thought we might see it differently. We did not expect to miss cities and towns altogether, due to low water levels we missed 2 nights in Budapest and 1 night in Regensburg. The general concensus was they should have put us up in a hotel (9 couples) for the 2 ...

Review for a North America River Cruise on American Star
Shoethorn
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s
We just completed a cruise on the Hudson River on the Star. Having cruised many times before (albeit on different lines), I must tell you that this cruise was not good. One set of passengers that we got to know fairly well even left early because they were so disappointed. The ship needs a complete face lift and mechanical overhaul. Specific issues:
1. Systems
a. The water system was ...

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Beethoven

10+ Cruises • Age 60s
Everything on this cruise ran late, from embarkation to disembarkation. At first we were told it was due to the low water level at Danube and things will be back to normal once we leave the Danube. But we never caught up with the schedule. We skipped a port - Passau. Waited for the boat to show up 3 times after shore excursions - once for 1.5 hours at an industrial yard. Ate dinner at 9 pm ...
