Exhausting experience
Two week cruise but when we got near Passau the Danube was too high to continue so.. Ship was stagnant for three days. Options were put in place. We were given two free excursions. Travelled from Staubling to Vienna by coach. Stopped at Melk Abbey on way. Stayed at nice hotel in Vienna two nights. We all 160 of us went to a restaurant , it was a deep cellar and the food was awful. Most of us left .Then went by coach to Budapest . We had another arranged lunch in another cellar restaurant and stayed in nice hotel one night. On last evening we enjoyed a complimentary river cruise with dinner, very nice. Eventhough all these emergency arrangements were put in place quickly, our tour director was excellent. We wont be going on another river cruise as a large chunk was stressful and hard work. Like the majority of the 160 passengers we are in our seventies. Packing and unpacking a few times wasnt on my agenda.
