River Duchess

AUGUST

Wonderful company to cruise with. Hygiene standard, particularly concerning Covid, was excellent and we felt totally safe on this cruise. Passengers couldn't help themselves to buffet food - but we were served what we wanted very promptly and the crew wore masks all the time Throughout, the crew couldn't have been more helpful. The activities leader was extremely nice and did a great job. Some of the tour guides on land led walks that moved a bit slowly and we'd have liked one or two strenuous hikes in the countryside. On the boat, there were a couple of excellent talks by a local historian but otherwise there wasn't any organized entertainment in the evening - apart from a preview of the upcoming days' tours. However, we didn't feel the need more entertainment - we just chatted to our dinner partners. This was my first Uniworld trip and I will certainly cruise with them again. They took care of every little detail!

OCTOBER

Overall the food was good, but the daily menu could have had more selections, and sometimes the food was too salty. We also enjoyed the dining experience on the upper deck, which had a different menu. Unfortunately, we made reservations and they were cancelled by the staff. We felt the music entertainment on board could have been better. Overall, the staff was great, and our waiter (Paul) made our experience very enjoyable. Our stateroom staff was excellent and pleasant.

MAY

Best cruise experience I've ever had!
