Creator's Key Takeaways
I booked and paid for this cruise at the going rate through my travel agent to make sure that I give a fair and balanced review.
I absolutely love these. Also, the bed faces those windows and therefore the view certainly when lying in or on the bed and going through scenic areas is fantastic.
I found the food good. It definitely matches the other premium line competition.
It felt much more casual. The open seated dining and more flexible dining that I mentioned, of course, added even more to the casual, less structured feeling I've had on other river cruise lines.
