Creator's Key Takeaways

So, now that we've actually been here and we've stayed on board, this is our last night. Uh we thought we would share with you what we feel are the positives and the negatives of staying in this cabin.

It sort of surpassed my expectation of what they could do on a river cruise ship.

The bed is another positive. It has been really comfortable. Uh we have had no problem sleeping even though we have been tired going to bed.

So, would we book this cabin again? Uh, I absolutely would.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider booking a cabin further from the main reception for less foot traffic and noise.
Be aware that when docked, you may have a neighbor ship blocking your view, so don't expect constant views.
If cruising in warmer times, enjoy the open window for views and river sounds.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cabin size and layoutRemember it's a river boat, so cabins are smaller; design makes good use of space but expect less floor area.
Noise levelsChoose a cabin further from main reception for a cozier, quieter experience with less foot traffic.
View privacy when dockedDon't assume constant views; when docked, you may have a neighbor ship, so use the privacy blind.
