    Dear Mrs Reckerth, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cuisine, food, and service on board, as well as the overall route of the cruise. We regret that the information regarding transportation options at the landing in Rastatt was insufficient. We will certainly take this into account for future cruises to ensure that all guests have the necessary information. Regarding the excursion to Rüdesheim, we're sorry that it did not meet your expectations. Your suggestion about being able to visit the vineyard and taste the grapes is valuable, and we'll explore ways to enhance this experience. We also acknowledge your concerns about the lack of information in German during the excursion. We will work to ensure that our excursions provide equal, explanations in all languages offered to avoid such discrepancies. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our services. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on board again in the future. Best regards, The Customer Service Department

    We are sorry to read about your experience on board our ship. We make a strong point to care for every passenger the same. Please be assured we'll make sure such a situation does not happen again. This ship was indeed refurbished in 2007. We've taken good note of your remarks and will pass them on to the appropriate persons. Your remark on the breakfast buffet is quite surprising as the staff has to replace the food until 9am. We are sorry if that was not the case during your stay. We hope you'll still choose to cruise with us in the future to enjoy the usual quality of our services. Best regards, CroisiEurope Customer Care Department
