Review

A Great Europe Overview

Overall – this was a great way to cover many countries (Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic (Optional Excursion), Austria and Germany) in a week. The ship stops at both quaint smaller towns as well as capitals like Budapest and Vienna. Upgrading to a suite was a decision well worth the extra money given the significantly larger space and amenities (like free laundry). The clientele were generally older Americans who did not have much cruising experience. Staff were personable and both the hotel manager (Zoltan) and the Cruise Director (Daniella) were excellent). The premium wine package was unnecessary so I would not pay extra for that. The ship was well laid and we spent much of the time on board in the lounge or on the upper sun deck. All in all – a worthwhile experience.
