Disappointing Christmas market cruise
Sailed on the Arosa Aqua 6th to 19th December .Advertised as a Rhine Christmas markets cruise.However it was very disappointing 1.Itinerary changed and we were only made aware week beforehand.Instead of sailing from Cologne we were leaving from Bonn.As a result our time at Cologne markets was greatly reduced as we only arrived in at noon had to be bussed to Bonn at 2.45 2.Due to problem on Rhine itinerary again changed day 2.We were brought to Konlenz and off boat from 9 to 11.30 which we only discovered that morning.And shops only opened at 10 and Market at 11. 3.Day 4 stops were reversed so we went to Mainz first.Docked 8 am and left at noon.No Christmas market open at all there during that time . Very disappointing trip as we went for purpose of the markets.Was expensive as we travelled from Ireland.Instead of experiencing 5 Christmas markets we got 2.5.Have complained to Arosa and still await reply.
