Loved it!
What can I say? From booking to travelling all went smoothly. We were on the Sensations of Lyon & Provence cruise and were able to fly from our local airport with a change in Amsterdam which was great. The food on board was to die for, nothing was too much trouble for the staff, the Cruise Director was very helpful and knowledgeable about each place we stopped, the beds were comfortable & everywhere was spotless. This was our first river cruise and I was a bit apprehensive because I have problems walking long distances or standing for long periods of time. I needn’t have worried because each excursion was split into three groups depending on your fitness levels. We took the “gentle” group each time and the local guides took it slowly and avoided steps etc where possible. We saw what the other groups did but at a more leisurely pace and with no pressure to keep up with people who were more able bodied. My husband, who has no mobility problems, enjoyed the tours as well. The evening entertainment was a little bit hit and miss but we were the first cruise of the season and this is the first year they’ve tried having an Entertainments Director. I’m sure it will settle down as they work out what does and doesn’t go down well with passengers. They just have to remember that not everyone wants to join in and so what happens should not be so noisy that it drives other people out of the lounge. All in all we loved it and would book again.
