Danube River Cruise

October

Pros: accomodations, service from everyone on board, foo selection and quality at breakfast, special events such as dinner at castle and Akademia Club with entertainment.

Cons: didn't think dinner food selection and taste was as good as on past cruises. Too noisy.

Recommended: Yes

There were many larger groups of friends travelling together which made for some noisy receptions and dinners on board the boat. Because there were so many people traveling together there was not as much interaction between passengers. Could have used more daytime sailing time as it seemed we were busy most of the time and it was not as relaxing as say the the Rhine cruise. The Intercontinental Hotel in Prague was OK but not as nice as previous Tauck chosen hotels. The Ritz Carlton in Budapest was very nice.
