Miss Emma Gray recommended both cruises to us. Both were wonderful trips! Well organised from start to finish. Our first cruise was the Rhine. We enjoyed the friendly staff, almost like family. And especially the cuisine! Every meal a pleasure. Entertainment seem to lack a little but after a full day sightseeing most people were a little tired. The seating arrangement we unfortunately inflexible and we did not want to ... rock the boat . . . change places. On the whole, we’ll do it again at a different time of year. Our second trip was in a newer ship with hot pool. Splendid, l went swimming every day. Staff pleasant, guests very sociable. On the whole the atmosphere more relaxed because there were no formal seating arrangements. Entertainment acceptable. We had a slight mishap with our ship but still enjoyed the cruise. Our last stay at the Mariott hotel was a little sad as it was at the other side of town. Even so there was a Mariott Hotel next to the river and easy accessible and would have made an unforgettable trip. We did enjoy our well organised river cruises and made lots of friends on the way and have positive memories. We went on numerous sea cruises but we loved the change and would not hesitate to enjoy the river voyage again.
