The experience was good but because of all the changes and going down the Moselle and not the Rhine it caused a lot of confusion regarding the schedule and tours. The Star ship was great and the Riva was excellent. Staff was excellent and extremely attentive to all our needs. And the food was excellent and the different choices of food. Wine could be better. It would be better if there were more things to do on the ship, more activities. And more cruising during the day. Considering all the changes it was good and I would love to do it again on the Rhine as we came all the way from Canada and this was to be the highlight of our month long trip.Show more
