DEC 02 - 06 202 - AMADEUS NOVA - JAN, OVI, and TONY - EXCELLENT ABOVE EXPECTATIONS !!!! THE SHIP IS WITHOUT A FLAW !!! NOT A SINGLE PROBLEM !!! THE CREW WAS AMAZING !!! A TRULY WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS TREAT !!! I am the chief travel planner for my family. My husband served in the US Army and we were sent to Dexheim Germany when he was 24 years of age. and I was 21, with a baby. We spent 9 years at Dexheim, Hanau, and Karlsruhe. Germany was so kind to us all those years and we have always traveled back whenever we could. Fast forward to now, I wanted the family that I love to see a real Christmas and of course that is Germany for us!!! :-) And, moreover, they have never cruised the river, so this trip held enormous expectations. Well, without reservation, I can say, everyone has been blown away!!!! I personally thank you, every member of the crew and this amazing ship built so well, that my family is in love with cruising and German Christmas!!! And for my sake, you have saved my reputation as a travel guide !!!! :) You could not have known how very much was on the line for our family on this adventure, but you came through, especially for us, just doing your job!!! Well done !!! and we will be seeing you in the future!!! God bless and God speed to you, each and every one!! With love and gratitude, THE SKELLION FAMILY, THE CARRIKER FAMILY, and THE STANDISH FAMILY XO XO XOShow more
