Excellent service but so-so food.
Everything about the ship was clean and tidy. Our cabin (Class BA) was comfortable and roomy enough for two. The balcony is a bit cramped but two can sit out there if they are cozy. Ship staff was courteous and attentive to our needs. Food tries to be upper class but only gets to OK most nights. Some terrible fails for entrees and things where it seemed the chef never tasted what was coming out of the kitchen. You could see all the uneaten food sitting on the cleanup trays. A disappointment was that there was not more local/regional dishes available as we traveled through the pork capital of the world (germany). Breakfast was decent as was lunch but the hot tip for some variety is to dine for lunch in the cities as much as possible even though that costs some Euros. Evening entertainment most nights was good as was the optional concert in VIenna. This trip is really only a survey of many towns along the Rhine-Main-Danube waterway with a walking tour in each. Come back for a land-based vacation if you want to spend real time in any of the places you visit. The walking tours are too fast paced for any serious photography. If you want to take a lot of photos go on the slower-paced gentle walking tours instead. Overall, a good first introduction to a lot of scenery in very comfortable travel environment.
