Creator's Key Takeaways

however as much as we love this trip i wouldn't recommend it to the first time river cruiser

the service had to be absolutely impeccable with with a one-to-one one-to-one crew ratio

i think that archaeological dig and then the parliament palace in bucharest

my suggestion after having done that would be to get maybe fifty dollars in each country
