Enjoyed the cruise and tours. Crew were wonderful and very obliging in all aspects. The ony improvements would be to have local wine, beer and somthing traditional on the menu rather than german an italian beverages all the time. Not that enthralled with Bran Castle and thought it a bit disney land. Perhaps Peles Castle might be better. That is all meant to be constructive and not negative. Overall, we had a lovely time amd met many new friends. Regards Terry and Helena O'KeefeShow more

  You told me I am not eligible for this cruise because I am not Australian so, no, I haven't made any further plans. However, if you want to let us join the Aussies, we would be happy to discuss it.
