Review Title: Scenic Journey with Great Food
The River Empress was quite fancy as the lobby was very elegant with lots of glass and chandeliers. I really enjoyed the food at the lunch buffet and at dinner, but my favourite food had to be the club sandwich that was available at the lounge area. The front lounge was very cozy and it was nice how they provided plug points for all different countries. I thought that the top of the boat was the nicest part as I could see up and down the river. I really enjoyed one of the days when we could eat up there and see as all the castles went by. My other favorite thing to do was play video games in the captains lounge with the other kids.
My favourite port was Rudesheim as I enjoyed the view from the top of the hill and also enjoyed walking down. Another nice thing was the long bike ride that we did one day and it was really nice riding next to the river. Even though I like big ships, a smaller one like River Empress lets you go everywhere very quickly and you easily get to know a lot of people on the ship.
