Creator's Key Takeaways
We love to have a balcony when we cruise, but for these particular cruises, you probably won't need one.
The water levels can be very high which means that your itinerary might change.
The Christmas markets cruises are a really nice mix of optional tours that you can do for the history and a walking city tour and also focus on time in the Christmas markets.
The friends that you make and the people you're with every day... don't be afraid to make plans to meet up with your new friends from the cruise at the Christmas market.
