- RPRon3.0 - AverageWritten on May 5th, 2023CroisiEurope River Cruises commented on this reviewDear Mr. Percival, We would like to thank you for taking the time to review your cruise with us. We are glad to read you enjoyed the ship and the food. We have noted that you would have preferred a lunch buffet. Your suggestion, as well as your comments on the excursions and the entertainment have been forwarded to the ship’s purser and his manager. We are sorry if the entertainment was not up to our regular standards. Regarding the sailing schedule, the purser informed me that it was done as planned. The program indicates the sailing time each day. However, it is true that the sailing time from Treves to Cochem is not clearly mentioned in the program. It is implied though. We are sorry if that lead up to any confusion. Despite that, we hope we’ll still have the pleasure to welcome you again on board one of our ships. Best regards, CroisiEurope Customer Care Department
