DECEMBER
<div>Went on the Christmas Markets cruise with Uniworld. The cruise was really amazing--excellent food, spacious rooms, great views, excellent service, all inclusive pricing. The local tours and lectures on the boat were wonderful. But, the best thing about the cruise was going with the group. We sat together for dinners and after dinner entertainment. The group included many people who liked to dance in the evenings, which was a blast. Everyone was so friendly, and I really enjoyed getting to know the people on the cruise.</div>

Uniworld’s quality of staff & food offerings were excellent. Condition of the ship was suprisingly good for the age of the River Wieem, very well kept! Tour offerings were fair and could use improvement.. We personally don’t enjoy having to follow a guide and our “whispers” on more than 30 minutes. We would prefer a list of some favorite places to find on our own, given a meet back time. We found others that felt the same way. It works for some to stay with the guide, not all. Pre-trip to Luzern, specifically Burgenstock hotel was outstanding. Post trip in Amsterdam was a waste. They put us up in a hotel far away from the city. The 1 hour canal ride was very long & slow.

Had to get up at 4 to depart ship at 6:30 for 1 & 1/2 hr. ride to Zurich. Other passengers were able to remain on board for breakfast, a morning tour of Basel and lunch before departing -- a much more pleasant final day to say the least.

At a pre-orientation meeting of our group before the tour, we were told to pack bathing suits. In retrospect, must have been a joke because no pool or hot tub available on ship. We would have planned differently next time and assumed that water, and wind would make temperatures much cooler than forecast, bring more sweaters and light jackets.
