    Dear Natasha, Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent experience. Due to safety concerns from heavy rains and flooding, we had to reroute the ship from Turnu Magurele to Vidin. I understand that the 6 hour bus ride from Bucharest in challenging conditions was not ideal, and I appreciate your patience. I also regret the inconvenience caused by the lack of umbrellas, poor lighting, and slippery ground conditions upon arrival. Regarding the excursions, we fulfilled our commitment by providing all passengers with the FREE four English-speaking tours promised. While I understand there may have been confusion about additional optional tours, these were not included in your package and had not been prepaid. We focused on ensuring that everyone received the included excursions to enhance your experience. Your feedback about the air conditioning and cleanliness has been noted and will be addressed with our maintenance team. I’m glad to hear that you found our staff exceptional; they genuinely strive to provide excellent service. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and I hope you consider cruising with us again in the future. Best regards, Crucemundo

    Dear Fred, Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent experience. Due to safety concerns from heavy rains and flooding, we had to reroute the ship from Turnu Magurele to Vidin, and I understand that the 5.5-hour bus ride from Bucharest was challenging. We appreciate your patience during this journey. Upon arrival, we provided dinner at 11 PM since that was when passengers reached the ship. Instead of canceling the meal, we ensured everyone received what had been promised. Our fixed seating arrangements prioritize safety and comfort, particularly for guests with allergies and dietary restrictions, allowing us to manage meal preparations effectively. We fulfilled our commitment by offering all passengers the FREE four English-speaking tours included in the package. While we understand there may have been confusion regarding optional tours, these were not part of the package and had not been prepaid. Our focus was on delivering the included excursions to enhance your experience. We appreciate your feedback about the air conditioning and cleanliness, which will be addressed with our maintenance team. I’m glad to hear that you found our staff exceptional; they truly strive to provide excellent service. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope you consider cruising with us again in the future. Best regards, Crucemundo
